Play is not just for children, it is also very important for adults. Play is about freedom, experimenting and having fun. We have come up with a wonderful six month Mixed Media Challenge that gives us license to play!

 

A new challenge will be set on the Mixed Media Forum on the first day of each month and participants will have until the last day of the month to complete the challenge.

 

Participants may create mixed media projects of any type for the challenges. Examples of possible projects are ATCs, inchies, a canvas, journal page or shrine. Participants are encouraged to share the results of their projects by posting to the Mixed Media Gallery and by chatting on the challenge threads.
