We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Look on the positive side ...

The Craft Barn's alpha dictionary challenge is every 2 weeks, but it seems those 2 weeks go in the blink of an eye! The next letter is N - with no twists (phew!).

I did contemplate doing Nothing and presenting a blank page - but then had a Negative thought!

I took some black card and some card that had been sprayed with inks. I then die-cut both pieces exactly the same.  Then I pieced the images together using opposites - the birds were quite tricky!

Again, the definition was very long, so I took just one aspect and printed it separately.



Thought for the day -

Turn every negative into a positive!

    I was totally impressed with your interpretation of the N word. I have no idea how you did this, but I am certainly in love with the outcome.

    I wish I had known about your kind offer before I offered it to a friend who also lives in the UK. Thanks for your kindness and generosity, because you are just too, too kind.

    Definitely the best choice! I don't think "conceptual art" works for us average crafters... As it is, the idea is clever, the illustration perfect and the image gorgeous.
