Town/Illusion Interpretations

2012-01-23T09:47:00.002-05:00

This week's challenge was Town/Illusion. Results were pretty skimpy this week with only three participants. Believe me, I know how tough it is to come up with an interpretation every week, but we sure could use a little more participation by all our friends and followers here. This week's participants were Pat, Diane, and myself, Eeyore.

If I've missed anyone or if you'd still like to participate in this challenge, just leave a comment and I'll post a link to your interpretation. And thanks to both Pat and Diane for a nice job.

We had a late post and addition from Kristina. Glad to add it here, although it took me a while to get around to it. Thanks Kristina.

Step/Double Interpretations

2012-01-16T15:42:00.000-05:00

Our challenge this week was Step/Double and everybody doubled up on this, except for the number of photos. We only got one from each entry, but they all are great. Thanks this week to Vivian, Pat, Susan, Diane, and Larry.

If I missed anyone, or if I messed you up shifting the deadline around because of the modem problem, but you still have an entry, leave a comment and I'll post a link.

Again, thanks to all of you who participated.

Step/Double Deadline Extended

2012-01-13T09:33:00.001-05:00

I am without modem and unable to post results until early next week. Therefore I will take interpretations through Monday or Tuesday, but don't forget the challenge for the following week.

Well, shortly after I posted the no modem note, AT&T came through with a quick shipment of a replacement modem, and I'm back up as of Saturday morning. Since I had already posted a soft extension to the deadline, I am now setting the deadline as Monday at 12:00 noon. Also continue to work on the next challenge of: Town/Illusion.

Forsaken/Empty Interpretations

2012-01-08T16:32:00.000-05:00

This week's challenge was Forsaken/Empty. Susan pointed out that it seemed an appropriate challenge for this time of year, but I think everyone did a great job on a gloomy couple of things. This week's participants were Eeyore, Pat, Susan, Diane, and Mouse.

And a special shout-out to Pat, who I believe is participating for the first time this week, at least since I've been administering the site. Welcome! (Pat, if you've been here before, please forgive my forgetfulness.)

If I've missed anyone or if you'd still like to participate in this challenge, just leave a comment and I'll post a link to your interpretation. And once again, well done everyone!

Weekly Challenge: Forsaken/Empty

2012-01-01T16:20:00.000-05:00

Holiday Challenge: Soft/Brilliant

Vivian suggested we have a challenge with a holiday theme, so here's my proposal. I know you and I will be busy over the next few weeks, so for the holiday challenge we will have a two week challenge of the random words that came up in my spreadsheet, but you should interpret them from a holiday perspective. Those two words are: Soft/Brilliant. Should be able to get something for those between now an New Year's Day. That will be the deadline for Soft/Brilliant, but like this week, it may be a little into the new year before those results are published. In the meantime don't forget Apples/Art for next week.

Blue is one of my favorite colors, but the collage sort of hurts my eyes. Nice job from Diane, Susan, Megan, ShEiLa, Kristina, and Eeyore. Thanks folks, and if I missed one, just leave me a comment.

Weekly Challenge: Card/Blue Postponed

2011-11-20T14:41:00.000-05:00

Well, since no one (except Diane) was ready for this challenge today (including me), and I messed up the date anyway, I'm going to give us more time. This coming week promises to be a very busy one for probably everyone, sooooo, let's set a new date of 12:00 CST, December 4, 2011. That is a Sunday, but a couple of weeks out to allow for our procrastination and the holidays. Remember, anyone can join in any way they want.

And as a teaser, the challenge for the following week will be: Bubbly/Flat.

P.S. I'm running out of the suggestions I received a few weeks ago, but someone said we should re-use some of the old challenges to get new interpretations. Sounds good to me, but I thought I might shake it up a little by taking the first and second words from two independent randomly chosen previous challenges (unless it just seems utterly ridiculous when I pull them out of the hat). We'll see in a couple of weeks how that goes.

Art/Graffiti Interpretations

2011-07-10T15:46:00.001-04:00

As a note, I'm starting to have a little trouble coming up with original challenges, and my interpretations sometimes seem to suffer from preconceptions I had when I made the challenge up to start with, even getting mechanical instead of creative. Also, participation seems to have fallen off to just myself and a couple of other regulars. Perhaps my challenges are getting a little too uninteresting, or they come too frequently, and I could use some help. Therefore, I would appreciate suggestions from participants, and maybe some of those other 52 followers who haven't participated lately. Please email any suggestions (for challenges, frequency, volunteers to host for a while, or whatever) to me at larrymathews@bellsouth.net.

Well I'm late posting the collage and results from Unexpected/Order, mainly because we had a new grandchild born Saturday night and I've been a little tied up. Mother, father, and daughter are all fine and back home now. Big brother hasn't quite figured this out yet, but he is definitely excited.

Only Miss Mouse and I (Eeyore) had entries this time, but at least she had enough photos I could make a decent collage. Thanks Miss Mouse, or it would've been a new solitaire game. If I missed someone's, let me know.

Because of the holidays and everyone's busy schedule, I have decided to put off further challenges until after the first of the year. Like I said last week, that challenge will be Coffee/Tea, and I'm going to make it due on January 9, 2011. I will post the challenge the week before to remind everyone.
