New / Hope

This week's challenge is New / Hope.

This challenge ends on 19:00 UTC Sunday January 4, 2009.

That's right! It's a new year, with new hopes and dreams. Show us what yours are!

That is Sunday noon EST, 11 am CST, 9 am PST, 7 pm in the UK, and Monday 8 am in New Zealand. And lest this sound strict, you know we would be pleased at any time to have your entry. We really aren't rule-oriented.

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 for the week following, the challenge will be: Partial / Whole.

Real / Fake Interpretations

This week's challenge was Real / Fake. It seems a few of us had fun with this one and the results show that. Our interpreters this week are: Maya, Janet, Diane, Rob, and a new contributor: Mlle. Gramophone. Welcome, MG!

Thanks to everyone who participated. If I missed anyone, please let me know by leaving a comment and I'll add a link to your interpretation.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Joint / Venture

This week's challenge is Joint / Venture and was suggested by Maya. I thought I'd start something new this week and provide a link to Merriam-Webster's as a way of stimulating your creative juices. Just click on each word in this week's challenge to get a definition. Or, go rogue and define it yourself!

Apples / Oranges Interpretations

This week's challenge was Apples / Oranges and was probably a bit of a stretch, I think. I know I had a hard time coming up with something. Some of you were literal and others weren't. The interpretations are, as usual, all wonderful!

We've also had a couple of new people join us. Welcome to Brian in Minnesota and Dan in Texas. In addition to their contributions to this week's challenge, Dan has also provided an additional interpretation for last week's; you can see it here.

This week's contributors are: Rob, Serena, Diane (here and here), Tash, Brian, Dan, Janet, Maya, and Frances.
