NOTE TO OUR LOYAL ARTISTS

NOTE TO OUR LOYAL ARTISTS It is with sadness we have decided to close the Take-a-Word challenge. Since Marie's passing nine months ago, we have continued to administer the three challenges (Take-a-Word, Three Muses, and Digitalmania), but we have a need to lessen the load a bit. We ask that our loyal followers here at Take-a-Word continue to share your talents at Three Muses or Digitalmania (which is a Flickr site). We are immensely grateful for your participation for the past ten years or so, and hope to see you there. The bee challenge will be the final challenge for Take-a-Word. Ann and Bev

Take a Word Challenge - Green

The theme word this week is GREEN.  St Patrick's Day is on March 17 but your green art doesn't have to refer to that.  Any green will do!!
My heritage is 100% Irish.  In the late 1700's, the Irish people rose up in a rebellion against Britain and they wore the colour green to identify themselves as rebels.  Believe it or not, "the wearing of the green" was prohibited and the penalties were severe, the most common one being transportation to what was then called "Van Diemen's Land" (now Australia!).  My ancestors came to Australia in the 1840's but I would quite like having a convict as an ancestor!
Have fun with green.

    That is a fabulously green sample! I love her don't-mess-with-me expression. As far as I know, I have but a drop of Irish blood in me, but it goes back to the early 1800s when an Irish lass hid out with another ancestor on a Caribbean island until her ship sailed back to Ireland without her. But I digress...

    Here is my sample: Always After Me Lucky Charms...
