Theme 7: Let Beauty Rain Down Upon.....

Please note - the call for Mini-Monthly submissions is in the post prior to this one. Please check it out. Thanks!


How you choose to interpret the theme is completely up to you. It simply needs to be tasteful – no pornography or messages of hate here. When you sit down to create, you cannot think about how people will or will not receive your work. You are required to simply enjoy the act of creating. Please see the bottom of this post for how to submit a response.


The next time it begins to rain... lie down on your belly, nestle your chin into the grass, and get a frog's-eye view of how raindrops fall... The sight of hundreds of blades of grass bowing down and popping back up like piano keys strikes me as one of the merriest sights in the world." - Malcolm Margolin




"Sometimes I see myself as a child in a rain storm, running around trying to catch all the drops in his mouth. I long for your adventures to be like the raindrops the child saves and not those which crash to the ground." - Author Unknown



Important Guidelines


The work submitted must be something you have created and/or worked on between the time the theme was revealed and the Thursday unveiling.

Please submit your response to Natasha@creativenachos.com no later than end of day Wednesday, February 25th if you would like it to be posted on Thursday, February 26th. OR send me a link to your response to include in the comments section of the post. With your response please include:

1. Your name - either first name or shop name

2. The name of your piece (if you choose to give it one)

3. Something you'd like to share (process of creation, idea behind piece) if you'd like to share anything

4. Two photos of your piece or of each of the pieces (3x5 or 4x6 and 72dpi or a max of 96dpi - if you need any help with that please don't worry I'd be happy to help!)

Most importantly, let creativity flood your imagination! Have a great time :)

Oooo - ideas are running through my head! I live in the northwest - so rain is something I see a lot of! Hmm... time to go play with my many blue beads. You read my mind - I was just thinking the other day that it's high time I create something new in blue...
