NOTICE TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AT TAKE A WORD


Commenting is hard work on the blogs.  This has persuaded us to apply an InLinkz feature which will allow everyone to link his or her picture to each challenge, allowing fellow members to click on each link to leave a comment starting next Monday. Unfortunately, thumbnails won't be added.  When you are linking, make sure to type in your name and the theme word where indicated.

As this is new to us there may be some glitches at first.  If the link isn't working next Monday, leave comments in the usual way.  If you would prefer not to use the link system, the comments section will still be in place.

Take a Word Challenge - Art

Art to me is digital art which relies on the collection of elements, images and backgrounds to combine in a manner which is, hopefully, artistic. This is an assemblage in a shadow box which illustrates such a collection.  Our theme this week is ART.  There are no rules.  Art means different things to different people so enjoy yourselves and do it your way!  Click HERE for details
