Some words from Rosie...
I am always intrigued at how an artist's medium and perspective change
the way they approach a project. I have seen it in the form of themed
art shows before; it's fascinating for instance what 30 different
artists will create with the same object, like a wooden frame or a plain
white mask (just to name a couple of examples that I personally was a
part of, and enjoyed immensely). The same is true for treasuries... it
is really interesting how different artists approach the same 16-square
format and can create such a variety, a rainbow, no, better than a
rainbow, a 3-dimensional, emotionally layered, full spectrum of
variances from those 16 squares. Painters' treasuries LOOK like
paintings; Fiber artists make very textural treasuries; Fashion
designers are obsessed with fashion, of course; Jewelry maker's
treasuries are strung together like beads on a wire. And collage artists
make beautifully compiled, eclectic, and masterful compilations with
those 16 squares, and that is exactly what happened this week. Susan and
Maxwell of artsdesireable made this treasury that just jumped off the
screen, and every tile so perfect, it really should be hanging in a
museum. You elevated my one little square to art level, framing it
cleverly with such a pleasing color pattern that a person could stare at
it for hours. Fabulous motion throughout, compelling passion, hot,
pulsing colors, and really wonderful items, all of which looked new to
me. Thank you so much and thank you to everyone who participated this
week!! It was such a pleasure.
Congrats to Susan & Maxwell! They will be choosing the inspiration item for Challenge #196 from their shop artsdesireable. They'll also be judging the Challenge. Check the team discussion page
for a "Laying Odds" thread to make suggestions / predictions on the
inspiration item. We only have today to help choose the item, so
