TWENTY-FOUR............................ Heidi's 2012 CHALLENGE

          Take the 24 Challenge

  • We would all love to Make art 24 hours a day! Sadly, this is not always possible.
  • How about making pieces that are a very manageable size so that you can explore many creative possibilities throughout the course of a year?
  • 24" x 24" is fast becoming my favorite "doable" rug size.
  • In 2012, I put forth the challenge for all of you to make a 24" x 24" rug or...make many!
  • As each RHD 24 CHALLENGE rug is completed it will be featured here on our main page.
  • Visit our 24 main page group, join in the challenge and if you are desperately trying to fit MORE art into your crazy schedule, take heart ... and make something beautifully small!
  • I put forth this challenge as incentive for individual artistic expression!

.... take a moment to visit mixed media artist Lynne Ciacco. http://ragzedge.blogspot.ca/
As a warm up exercise Lynne creates a simple doodle using one continuos line. She revisits this line drawing throughout the day, let's her random sketch guide her, adds color and detail, et voila, her weekly maxim is created!br />

Antique Frost Pattern 2 Replies

I have an opportunity to purchase an original Frost pattern, but I have no idea what is a reasonable offer.  It is in great condition.  The bottom is printed with ESFrost and Company, Biddeford, ME.  I think that means that it is a later pattern. …Continue

Auction delights

Don't know if I can spare the time, but tomorrow in Richford, VT, there is an auction of an amazing collection of Canadian and American furniture and art.  Scanlon Estate sales runs these, and you can have a "virtual visit" on the website.  The collection is like a museum or something special.  The photos are good - almost like going there. Almost . . . . you can see the range of items.

    HELPING OUT

    Thanks for your contribution.

    about contributions:
    Hi all, I need everyone to know that
    I have already committed to take on this financing (the monthly fee charged by our service provider). Donations of any amount would simply reduce my obligation. contributions to RHD are not expected and they will not determine the viability of the site.
    I thought very hard before adding a donate button and did so only to acknowledge the kindness, generosity and support of our members who felt strongly about being involved.
    Your support is indeed greatly appreciated.
    Thanks everybody,
    Heidi
