Weekly Challenge: Ugly / Pretty

The challenge for this week is Ugly / Pretty.

This challenge will end at 12:00 Noon CST, on Sunday, February 28, 2010. I will be out of town at that time, so it will probably be Tuesday before I can actually get the composite and the Interpretations post put together, so if you're a little late, you'll probably get in.

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: Animal / Vegetable. Remember, I'll be a little late with the posting next week, so don't wait till the post goes up to start getting your entries ready.

Prize / Door Interpretations

We had a wide variety of doors in response to our challenge this week, each with their own special prize attached. Well done. The responses were from Vivian, ShEiLa, Rob, Larry, Tash, Diane, and Janet, in no particular order. Virginia had a great prize door on her Paris site and I talked her into letting me enter it also. Check them all out, and be sure to note Vivian's poem about her favorite door.

If I missed anyone, let me know, and thanks for participating.

Safe / Passage Interpretations

We had a great response this week to our challenge. There were interpretations of Safe/Passage over the water, through the water, down the highway, through the air over water between cliffs, through the air from plane to ground, down a hallway and into the next life, and over ice both in vehicles and on foot. Great job! We have an interpretation from a newcomer Lex. Welcome Lex. Others include Vivian, Shutterbug, Rob, Diane, Larry, Janet, and Maya. We also had an entry from ShEiLa, but something happened to her blog over the weekend and I could not get to it to copy her entry into the collage above. Hers is the blank spot in the middle, and maybe I can add it when her blog gets fixed. In the meantime, I have included the link to her entry, and hopefully it will work and not say for invited readers only if you click on it (once her blog is fixed).

Thanks everyone. If I missed anyone, leave us a comment and we'll add you in.

ShEiLa got her new blog up and here is the link to her Safe/Passage entry.

Native / Exotic Interpretations

The challenge for this week was Native / Exotic. We had four diverse entries from Diane, Larry, Rob, and ShEiLa. Last week I posted the links to their blogs in general instead of to these entries. I decided that was okay for a week, but some of these people post a lot, and if you are searching for a particular entry more than a week later, it could require multiple paging to find it. Therefore, I'm reverting to posting links directly to the entry posts, but I would still encourage you to scroll through their other interesting posts.

Thanks to all who entered, and if you were missed or late, just leave a comment and I'll get yours up too.

I just located Vivian's post, so go check it out too.

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.

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.

If I missed anyone, I'm sorry. Just let me know and we'll get yours up too.
