It doesn't take too much to get me started. I'm surrounded by wonderful scenery, books and supplies. Regardless, I'm always looking for a new perspective . . . a challenge is always intriguing . . . almost impossible to resist.
I came across an online group last year called Fast Friday Fabric Challenge. They recently had an opening in membership and I was eager to play along. The Fabric Challenge part is fairly easy, it's the Fast Friday part I'm struggling with. I'm able to come up with a design, but no way can I complete the entire thing in one week. There just aren't enough hours in my day . . . full-time employment seems to get in the way!
Even if you don't join the group, you can get inspired by the general information about the challenge subject and links they provide. It's like a mini art lesson each month.
Below are photos of the pieces I've made along with the challenge name and number.
Challenge 49: Chiaroscuro - Tea Fire
Challenge 51: One Shape - Looking Up
Challenge 52: Color Field
Can you see the giant frog sitting on the building across the street? It just about gave me a heart attack the first time I looked out the window. Freaky!
This giant stainless steel sculpture is located in 
Here it is. I'm underneath the bean looking up! How cool is that? Every person turns into an abstracted shape and is reflected many times. I took quite a few photos in here.
There are two of these giant towers (40-50 feet) in the park. Each has a different face projected on it and the facial expressions constantly change. You stand there watching it, and the next thing you know, the mouth opens and water comes streaming out. It was a hot day, and the kids were having a great time playing in the water.
