April challenge results

I am constantly amazed how we receive the same objects and come up with such different things! Yvonne wasn't able to join us this month so we are missing her piece of art but here are the others this month

Dana outdid us all again with her beautiful piece of her grandmother's garden gate.


Where is the oatmeal container I hear you ask??? It's those pieces in the birdbaths.

Sherry and Cheri thought along the same lines but used completely different textiles. This is Cheri's



(Yes there is an oatmeal container and a knob hidden under there)

And this is Sherry's




she made good use of her rubber scraps from her newly mounted stamps :o)

I had this idea on the very day that we were given the challenge items



it came out quite well I think :o)

And last but not least this is Kathi's beautiful piece




and again you might have to look hard to find the challenge pieces...... that little smiley face hides a piece of the oatmeal lid, the knob is at the top and the twine tie on a little heart at the top too.

Beautiful work ladies! After we showed off our creations Cheri surprised us with the opportunity to paint some plates. Hopefully next month after they've been glazed and set we'll get to show photos of those too.

If you want to join us for next month's challenge here are the items




a paper lunch sack, a paper doily, a napkin, a playing card, a toothpick, a plastic coffee stirrer, and some yarn.

Wishing you creative success!
