I've been feeling very nostalgic lately ... for past collaborations and challenges and art groups. The downside of facebook and twitter and google+ (added only because I succumbed and "upgraded" which I'm totally not convinced does ANYthing for my overall experience thanks a lot google. geez) is people have less reason to visit websites featuring just one person. And there are so many other challenge-type websites now how can a single blog compete? Well. They can't. Hence a bit of melancholy for what was. Don't worry I'll get over myself.
For the interim, I'll enjoy perusing some old challenges. This one was my Assemblage Challenge. I asked folks if they'd send me some stuff. I'd make something and send it back to them. With 2 caveats ... no time frame AND I got to keep what I didn't use. Seemed fair to me. And I think, most folks enjoyed what they received. The idea came from someone in my localhood who asked if I would do a commission with things they'd give me ... presumably stuff that had some sentimental value. It kinda sorta freaked me out because I'd never attempted anything like that before. My assemblages were always made from my own stuff. So. I figured I needed to see if I could actually create something worthy from someone else's stuff.
You be the judge. Did I succeed?
