A Perfect Pairing Arts & Sciences Challenge
I challenge all artists to produce an item in one of their most skilled styles with something new. Not quite a pentathlon, but a chance to dabble in a new art form.
So you spin wool? Perhaps taking the next step to felting or dying or a specific knit is going to thrill you and get your art heart singing. Anything which draws one to the arts is open for submission. Maybe try a new time period with your existing art, or a different location in the same media. Documentation is helpful but not required. Depending on volume of submissions a prize may be available for the overall best submission.
Additionally, if you would like to make a donation to Their Excellencies or Their Majesties largess it would be nice to collect any donations of art Their Excellencies could pass on as presents to visiting friends in the future. I will be assembling gift baskets to allow them to show off our talent and largess.
