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 - Blackbird


 
This week our theme word is BLACKBIRD and our host is William (Bill) with this magnificent piece, although it seems the black bird is showing us what he thinks of it.  Just as well Mr Poe is wearing a hat!!  Thankyou, Bill.  You always give us something special, laced with your wicked sense of humour.
You can find Bill's blog HERE
Have fun with your blackbirds.

  17. To indybev - I appreciate your looking at my work. I'm thinking the only fix is for me to move off tumblr. They've been promising upgrades and I've been waiting to see if that's going to include a proper comment feature. Right now, you have to program in a 3rd party commenting service and the two I've tried have worked out badly - tons of spam let in, friends locked out - so if nothing better's on the horizon, it's time to move. Thank you for commenting here. - TG

  23. Please click here if you wish to view my art creation with my blackbird. :)
    I have just recently finished three art pieces (one which includes the blackbird piece)in the past 2 days. This is very unusual for me since I usually stay very busy with other things in life and don't have as much time as I would like for my art. Feel free to check out all three by clicking here.

  25. To those of you who have found my tumblr posts frustrating, I can now offer you an apology by way of blogspot: http://tg-cache.blogspot.com/

    There's no "there" there yet, of course, but know that you were heard and I appreciate very much your willingness to comment on my work. - TG
