In the light of the success (in terms of likability rather than punctuality) of our Photo competitions, and the many talents of our members, I was thinking of maybe branching out on this and extending it to a wider form - not necessarily replacing the photo comps, eh, we could still do both. Basically, the idea is that every month (hem, well, whenever we remember to, I guess) we would set a theme and then people can choose whatever medium they like to express themselves on the subject: writing, drawing, painting, photography, video, music... Hell, Mowgli could even do some scrapbooking And again, the winner of the previous month's would pick the next theme, and so-on. Same rules as the photo comp re: using only ones own produce, no stealing of images or re-using of old creations. With the results being that much more varied, we could easily choose more specific themes, like, say, the US Elections, or the latest Pterry novel, or the effect of a werewolf bite on a small fluffy rabbit at midnight on the third Tuesday after Brad's birthday, whereas the photo comp is a lot fairer if we keep the themes nice and wide... So, what d'ya think? :bunny:
I would steal it Joc but I'm not sure what it's eating... Good idea Kat, although seeming as how I have no creative talent, as my lack of entries into the photo comp signify (Ican't even hold a camera) I'd have to think what contribution I could make but it does let us branch out, like a tree, with really good mulch, in Spring.
I like the idea, it sounds like we could get some interesting results... I mean, natural disasters are 'interesting' as well as being horribly devastating aren't they? note: not so sure about the 'on time' part...
What have you broken on your computer now? Mulch? Is that a polite term for [-]bullshi[/-] manure? PS. Spiky... I think the smiley's mystery food object is a sausage, washed down with beer. But feel free to form your own opinion.
No mulch isn't manure. Manure would be fertaliser. Mulch is the ground cover that you put around plants (that may fertilise) intended to stop weeds and keep the moisture in for longer, it can be bark chips, forrest litter, pebbles or stones. And that is the end of todays gardening lesson. Tomorrow I will teach you about Hebes. Sausage is OK. Just.
Aha! you can't get me there, I know this... it was a city in ancient Egypt! I think we might have an idea for a rather irritating word game going here.
... I might have to stay on the sidelines fo the time being and just watch the action (between the job, the badly-neglected freelancing, the sporadic housework and the prenatal laziness ) But I'll jump in whenever the spirit moves me! :smile:
Wrong again. Hebes are a small bushy plant that seems to survive whatever I throw at them. Which seems to include a lot of neglect. I've got a couple of the verigated varieties which have purple accents on a light or dark green foliage base... For me hebe infor see here.
