Memories of 2011

March 13, 2012

It's challenge time!! And this is an easy one, well, kind of easy. Or maybe it isn't .. well I'll let you decide:

The Challenge

• Look back through your projects, posted here at LJ in 2011, and select your favourite.
• edit it to add the tag (in the tag section): challenge-12
• deadline for this is March 31, 2012

The "Prize"
At the end of the month I will compile the entries in a digital "flipbook"
Each project will get its own page in the book
The digital book will be showcased here and on our LJ's Facebook & Google+ Pages.

Challenge Entries
All projects tagged as challenge-12

(Note: Since this is our first "flipbook" I may have to edit the process as I start to put things together. Crossing my fingers!)
FYI: not all photos in the book will be the same size. It all depends on the size of the first picture posted for the project.

I'm on my way there now…..

1 Board: 1 Project

Spring 2013 Challenge
Here's our spring challenge for you:

• one board: one project-- except the board is a maximum size of 12" x 12" x 1".
• You can re-saw it; cut it; carve it; drill it; paint it; stain it; add anything to it (other than more wood) and create one project with it.
  

How The Challenge Works
1. Take a picture of your "before" board: maximum size of 1 foot wide, 1 foot long, 1" thick
2. Create a project using the board. Anything can be added to the project EXCEPT more wood
2. Post it as a new project.
3. Tag the project as: challenge-15
4. Have fun.

EDITED - Clarifications

• yes, you can glue pieces of wood together to get the maximum 12×12x1-"but" it has to be the same wood. No mixing walnut and maple, for example. And don't forget to show us the before picture.

Deadline
Although there is no "real" deadline, as this is an open challenge, projects for this initial challenge are to be posted by March 31st, 2013.
(We look forward to seeing many challenge projects, whether they are posted this month, next year, or ten years from now!)
