Creativity Challenge: Matchbox Shrines (plus altered photo winner)
A big Magpie Girl “Thank You” to all you creative trailblazers who participated in the first Creative Challenge. (See all the results here!)
I was pleased to read the comments on each submission and see how many of you tried your hand at altering a photo for the very first time. It can be so intimidating to sort through the help files of the new photoshop program, or to figure out what the heck gel medium is! But once you do….how fun! A whole new pond to play in!
Today my teacup was filled with all of your names and with one quick pick, the winner of the Altered Photo drawing is: Krystyn Heide.
I’ve seen Krystyn take great photos with nothing but the camera feature on her cell phone, and I think we can all agree that her judicious use of digital effects make her well composed pictures really pop. Krysytn wins….
two vintage sparkle-goth roses from the fantastic antique mall next door to my studio. Maybe we can tempt her into tucking one behind her ear and showing us those new yummy his-and-hers haircuts…..
Our new Creativity Challenge is Matchbox Shrines. So cheap! So fun! Such great presents! Look here and here for some ideas, or order this great book to get into the Latina spirit of it all. I can’t wait to see your creations…mine’s already in the pool! Let’s see how many we can craft between now and the October 4th deadline, shall we? Maybe we can do and exchange of our own, eh? Oh, and next week, I’ll let you know what the prize will be. (Ooooooo…I love surprises.) Happy matchbooking!

Aw shucks, I knew about this from your email but didn’t realize you had posted it here as well. I am so, so flattered by this. Really, you don’t know what it means to me. I was a Photography major in Fine Arts College and have been all but kicking my own ass to get back into it. This was just the inspiration I needed. I tracked down a local photography club (The Atlanta Photographers Guild) and I can’t wait to go to next month’s meeting.
I’ll have to find a way to photograph those once I get them… but in the meantime you can see the his and her haircuts here.
