Weekly Challenge: Native / Exotic

This week's challenge is Native / Exotic. I apopogize to the old timers here, but I just discovered that this challenge was used almost two years ago. Since everyone was warned last week this would be the challenge, I'm going to stick with it, however. I think it was tough in 2008, and it may be again. Good luck with it.

This challenge will end at 12:00 Noon CST, on February 7, 2010, first Sunday of the month.

Remember, anyone can join! Just post your entries--as few or as many as you'd like--on your blog and leave us a comment here. All media are welcome--paintings, photography, collages, drawings, sculpture, poetry, whatever you'd like.

And as a teaser, the challenge for the following week will be: Safe / Passage.

Merge / Diverge Interpretations

This week we have some interesting interpretations of our challenge, Merge/Diverge. I thought of several ways to go with it, and so did these folks. Our entries are from Tash, Larry, Maya, Janet, and Diane. This week I've posted the links to their web sites containing their 2 Things Challenge entry, instead of linking directly to the entry. In some cases you may have to scroll down to get to the entry posts, but believe me, it's worth looking at some of their other stuff.

Thanks to those who participated, and if I missed you, or you are just late, let me know and I'll put yours up too.

Fire / Water Interpretations

Wow,

The challenge last week was Fire / Water, and the group really stepped it up. We went from a low of 3 entries a couple of weeks ago to 9 entries so far this week. Thanks to all who participated, and if you'd like to join in the fun, go ahead. This week we had entries from Shutterbug, Janet, Larry, Carolyn, Vivian, Tash, Maya, ShEiLa, and Diane. Everyone did a great job. Welcome to Shutterbug and ShEiLa, first time posters to our little challenge.
