I love how you set people a simple mosaic-making task and people start improvising and doing it their their own way. And for that reason, we are adding a third prize in this contest. A third 12 spool set for the most creative / beautiful / inspiring entry to this contest. Same deadline, 18 April, same Flickr group and a third judge (as yet to be decided). To get you going, here are some ideas. First and foremost is this piece of unbridled genius which I am totally in love with. Or should that be "with which I am totally in love"? Oh cursed pedantic grammar.
Adding in fabric mosaics.
Showing us whole spools.
An inspiration photo.
A fabric collection.
Setting the spools so the colour really shines.
Showing us whole spools.
Dancing polaroids.
Synchronised Swimming Spools.
And mixing it with some pins.
And finally an Aurifil Viewmaster.
Wow - you have some seriously creative readers with amazing color sense!
ReplyDeleteah shoot...now you know I need to do another crazy one...just so I said I did it. lol
ReplyDeleteThat view master one is awesome! Clever people...
I guess I will be doing another one, I'll try to be original.
ReplyDelete"Unbridled genius?" You really know how to make a girl feel special! :) Thanks, Lynne. Seriously, your lovely comments have made my day. Do you think it shows the threads well enough? I didn't know if I was going a little overboard...
ReplyDeleteOh lord, back to the drawing board!
ReplyDeleteNow that viewfinder one is just showing off - what a totally brilliant idea! I wish I was more creative with these things but I do love to admire other people's awesomeness
ReplyDeleteThe viewfinder has out done the competition!! What genius! Thanks for my inclusion BTW!
ReplyDeleteWhy can't I think of these things?
ReplyDeleteAnd now my laptop decides to take a sulk and not work properly ..... %$*&^)@>
ReplyDeleteI'll just have to see what I can do over lunchtime
Unfortunately it won't be up to the stylish standards shown here
Oh for heaven's sake. Overachievers make me itchy. And jealous.
