was over whelmed when I was told that Kristin at Loveart studio had picked my 'I have a Dream' as the winner of last weeks Challenge. Not having won a nonteam challenge ever, had an HM recently. I have done so many treasuries since joining etsy, this accolade was wonderful.
A big thank you to Sarah, and all the volunteers on this team - they help to make doing challenge treasuries for this team easy and such fun.
I am not the creator of the art in our shop, that's down to my husband Maxwell, I do however run the shop, make treasuries and keep an eye on listings. We both chose 'Golden Lily loves Croc Rock' collage for the challenge - in the hope that it would be just that, challenging and it has been - producing amazing originality and exuberant creativity from you all. From flights of fancy - Children's well loved stories, Deconstruction, lessons in art and collage. Surreal, seductive and sexy tales; Dreams, African adventure, Tropical Islands, castaways and beach beauties; Crocodiles, lilies and apples galore, Carnivals, Circuses, Pin ups, Warrior Women and Golden Girls; Rock & Roll, Ballet dancers. Stories of love and loss and Lily was the star of each and every treasury. I felt compelled to look at the treasuries everyday - looking and re-looking. A big thank you to each and everyone who showed their joy in creative treasury making.
Having to choose is like asking me which of my children is my favourite, but a favourite treasury I do have and it's:-
In the spirit of the Olympics held in London I am awarding GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE. The Silver and Bronze will be in the HM's.
GOLD: John from casperdown with his 'Beneath the Surface' - A simple yet visually powerful well costructed treasury, I kept returning to it. Lily under a canopy of lush green tropical leaves, mysterious creatures of the forest to keep her company, she glows in this location.
