Maggies Monday Musings (MAMMA)

Art Doll

2011-06-09T13:37:00.006+01:00

I can now show the world the art doll that i made for a swap which has been received by Laura Spano in the USA

She is called 'Inner Child' so that Laura can let her inner child free to jump and splash in puddles, kick the leaves, play in the park, in fact anything that will make her happy without worrying what other people think..

Her arms and legs are made from swaroski crystals, with a dummy and a baby's bottle in her hands.

MAMMA'S WEEKLY CHALLENGE/SWAP

2008-08-09T13:04:00.018+01:00

You may be wondering what the MAMMA's weekly challenge/swap is about.

The weekly ATC challenge/swap has a weekly theme, and every MONDAY on FLICKR I give out the subject for the challenge/swap.

Each member posts his/her photo into MAMMA's Flickr Group

It is very easy to get an account at Flickr, and even easier to join the MAMMA's Flickr Group.
To join MAMMA at flickr go HERE

Every Saturday at approx 4.00pm GMT London, i list the names of whoever has joined in with that weeks swap into the Random Generator online.

This gives everyone a partner to swap with that week.

You can join in as much or as little as you like, but you will always be given a friendly welcome from ALL of the members.

To give you a taste of the talented artists here at MAMMA, i have posted photos of some of their work.

ORIENTAL WITH A TWIST

So if you interested in joining in with great swaps, don't forget to pop over to MAMMA at Flickr. We'll be waiting for you with a cuppa tea. lol.

Thanks everyone for making the first challenge/swap so successful.

Watch out on Monday for the new theme

NOTE. HAVE CHANGED THE NAME TO MAMMA, AS THERE IS ANOTHER GROUP ON FLICKR WITH MMM.

New Flickr Group

2008-07-05T11:37:00.001+01:00

I have started up a Maggies Monday Musings Flickr group, purposely for posting your photos of your ATC's.

If you havn't received an invite from me (sorry if i've missed you out), then either let me know or go to the link on the right hand side, where you can join straightaway.

Many thanks

This can be interpreted in any way you like, with any materials.

You are under no obligation to join in with the swap. But we would dearly love to see your pieces of work.

I will put the results of the draw up on Saturday 12th July, and the next theme on Monday 14th July (I am off on my hols 7-11th)

Remember to post the link to your photo in the comments, and state whether you want to join in the swap or not.

So here's my effort

Can't wait to see everyone elses.

I'VE MADE A DECISION

2008-06-30T09:15:00.002+01:00

LOL

I've decided to go with the random partner, as people seem to prefer that, and as John (Artyfax) has said, it will definitely be more fun, and will get us meeting different people.

I've add the subscription at the top right hand side, so people will know whenever anything new is added.

IT seems people are worried about not being able to participate every week. That isn't what this blog is about. I want people to visit as little or as often as they can, with no obligation to participate if they are busy.

It really is just about fun, and sharing your work with others. I lOOOOOOVE looking at other peoples work, and feel this is a great way to see everyones work all in one place.

So don't be shy, join in the fun when you can.

HELOOOOOOOO

2008-06-28T09:36:00.003+01:00

Well here we are, with the first post about Maggies Monday Musings.

Every week a challenge will be set for you to make an ATC, for which a theme will be chosen.

Perhaps people would like to swap them, if so which would you prefer, a random partner chosen for you, or maybe you could arrange private swaps between yourselves.

I am open to suggestions.
The poll isn't working, so if you could write in the comments which you prefer, it would be a big help.

First off some rules need to be laid down, not that any of them are bossy lol, as it is just for fun

1. Each week a theme for an ATC will be chosen either by myself or by suggestions from yourselves.

2. When you make your ATC to that weeks theme, post a picture of it on your blog, and then link us to it, via the comments on MMM (Maggies Monday Musings)

3. HAVE FUN
