Mixed Media Madness Mission (M4) 2010

CMMAG member and Artist Alley owner Jean Skipper once again offered a challenge to the Guild.  The theme for 2010 coincided with the 1st Annual Palustris Festival in Southern Pines, where her gallery is located. Twenty five member of CMMAG took on this year's kit challenge, which wasn't exactly a kit.  This year, the 22 required items had to be collected by each participant (no more pizza boxes!).  The items were:

Pine…Pine Needles…A Pine Cone…Anything and Everything “Pine” Will Qualify

Something that Starts with The Letter *P*

Light Bulb(s)

Metal Washer(s)

Fabric

Something made of Wood

Twine, String, Fiber or Thread

Bead(s) (As many as you’d like, and as many different kinds as you’d like.)

Key(s)

Something Blue

Coin(s) or Token(s) (As many as you’d like, and as many different kinds as you’d like.)

Something Made of Glass

Treasure(s) From The Great Outdoors

Part or All of a Book

Something from the Kitchen

Foil

Wool

Tissue Paper(s)

Thing-a-Ma-Jig (Optional)

Doo-Hickie (Optional)

Gee-Gaw (Optional)

Here are just some of the creations of our members.  As always, there were astounding pieces, and each one reflected the creativity, imagination and in some cases, the personality of the artist.
