Official Hive Creative Challenge - Spring!

It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!  ~Mark Twain

With this in mind, I'm excited to usher in a new Hive Creative Challenge!  The subject matter is SPRING.  You can create anything that inspires you from the season.  This challenge begins today and runs until March 31st, midnight PST.  

Here are the rules:

1)  The piece should be a new piece that we have not seen before here on TheHive.  You may have as many entries as you wish.

2)  Create a blog (post) about your piece - the subject line should contain the words "Hive Creative Challenge" - (you can then add whatever you want to the title) - IMPORTANT! Please be sure you do NOT "post to group"... use your blog (post) feature at the top!  

3)  Add the link to your blog post as a comment in this blog.  We will automatically highlight it to let everyone see your work for this challenge.  I'm also creating a group just for this challenge, so you can add the post to this group too - this will give a central location to view all of the posts. You MUST post your entry to the group, or you will not receive the points. If you are having problems adding the blog to the group, check out this video tutorial:  Adding your Creative Challenge to the Group - A tutorial

4)  Let your friends know about the challenge.  We will determine the top 10 by number of 'likes'.  Because 'likes' are anonymous there can be no hard feelings about votes.  You can vote for more than one piece, but you cannot vote more than once for an individual piece.  (you must be a member of TheHive to vote - as nonmembers cannot 'like' or comment on posts)

5)  The top 10 posts will then be given to an official judge (anon) to determine the winner!  The winner will be announced on April 15th.

hive challenge 

Each entry will receive 200 Hive points.  The top 10 finalists will each receive an additional 250 points. The single winner will receive 1000 Hive points AND a $50 Amazon gift card.

*All points will be awared every Tuesday, starting Tuesday March 8, 2011.

I hope John or Melissa will read this.  Please help me for just a minute.  I want to know if i am doing this right so far.  I have been posting to the Official Hive Creative Challenge plus some other blogs.  But I have only written on here only once.  Do I need to do it to match as many pictures i put on it Challenge page.  So IF I have 5 pictures do I need 5 times of writing on here.

John so you are saying that every like or comment I get is someone voting on mine.  Is that how we are going to find out who the top ten.  IF this is true then I sure know that all my work I'm sure not going to be in the top list.  So really none of of mine are doing any good.  BUT for me only it has cause I have been having fun at making these things and adding them to the list.  BUT a let down knowing I really have no chance on winning.  Thanks for listeng anyhow.

Regardless of whether I win or not; it's fun to post my mugs and get such great feedback.  I just want to thank everyone who has commented and voted for me.  I have also enjoyed seeing everyone else's entries.  Everyone on this site is so talented and creative.  I haven't been a member for long but I am enjoying it very much.  Keep up the great work, everyone.

I would like to add a comment to what I said up above.  YES I would like to win sometimes but so far that hasn't happened.  YES I have meet some wonderful people on here also and I know I have had so much fun at what I have been doing.  I'm a stay at home wife and I take care of my terminally ill husband so this has been very good for me.  I'm sorry if I upset anyone and it's easy for me to get blue so again I'm sorry and I hope I didn't upset anyone.  I'll just keep my mouth closed from now on.

Sincerely

donna: for most artists, even professionals, the main satisfaction has to come from the work itself, imho. i've had spells where i had more animal portraits than i could (almost) handle; or portraits of children. but with todays economy, oftimes the arts are seen as a luxury buy.

i have ptsd from my daughter's long illness and passing; getting back to work at my art is probably the only thing that will save me. i am sorry about your husband's illness. but i am glad you have an outlet that you enjoy and are becoming more and more proficient at. i have days i don't want to get out of bed, but i come to a site such as this or wet canvas and it's like breathing cool, crisp air again.
