I hope we have enough folks interested in the comm to get it going again!

Thanks!

This week, we'll have a text challenge. You must use at least 3 consecutive words from "Deep in the Meadow" - the song Katniss sings to Rue in The Hunger Games. You may use images or do a text-only icon, but every icon MUST have at least 3 words from the following song:

Deep in the Meadow

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when you awake, the sun will rise.

Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, A moonbeam ray, Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.

Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

This week, we'll have an icon technique challenge. All icons must feature images that are cropped very close - the focus of the icon MUST fill the icon space.

For example,



All these fill the space with a close crop on a person. It can be an object or location, as long as there is a clear focus and the icon space is full with the image.

Here are a few examples of a not-full icon space:



Some of these are close crops, but they don't fill the space, or they are not cropped close enough to the subject.

I have cancelled Challenge 21: Bravery since although it was extended one week, we have received NO entries.

I apologize that I did not provide more reminders this week. Instead of trying to extend this another week or even another day, I am simply going to cancel the challenge. I will post a new challenge tonight.

Stay tuned!
