“Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow.” - Douglas Pagels

Chaos, panic, depravity...rainbows.
Oh..wait... I think I have an idea!
SalvagedExpression - YAY!! I'm so excited...personally I just want to play and play with color and see what happens!!!!! Get messy and play YAY!!!
Yep this theme says finger paint all over it. Of course I don't have those handy but I'm thinking something messy and colorful none the less!
oh this has so many possibilities.
got to get to work.
Oh, I am so into this! I was just thinking the other day that rainbows would be a good theme! This will be so fun to see what evolves...
Janie
Rainbows! Yay!
did a little shout out to TST in my blog today... and i'm already pondering what to do for this rainbow theme!! :) ah, the weekend is almost upon us!
Rainbows and chaos? Awesome! :) You come up with the best themes, Natasha. I have something brewing for this...I hope I can complete it in time.
This one is going to be challenging for someone who works with sterling silver, but I think I might have an idea or two!!
Thanks Natasha! Love your blog!!
sounds very confusing and intriguing... hmmm...
Absolutely! Oh so many ideas and new techniques I want to try! I don't know if I will be able to wait till next Thursday for this one! :)
Love this theme! Can't wait...already have an idea...
Janie
and i thought "safari" was a challenge, lol! ok, natasha - i'm off...i know the inspiration will hit me at some point ;-P
Oh me oh my . . . another explosion of ideas . . . "vibrant" and "rainbow"--two of my favorite thoughts--I'm already all over those. "Chaotic"--in relation to the other two words . . it's calling out to me to LET GO of preconceived ideas and connections. To step away from the usual, the safe--and perhaps, in the chaos of letting go, I might stumble across a bit of cosmos.
Hey Sherry...
Can you make a rainbow on silver with patina??? Running off before something gets thrown...:) Got to work on my own ideas!
Janie
jodi - I CANNOT wait to see what those possibilities turn into!!
Janie - great minds, great minds hahaha...I cannot wait to see what you create!!! The thing about rainbows is that you can use all the oclors or mix and match some or use one...as Jodi said...the possilities
Sarah - I second your YAY!!
j.US.t chatter - thank you, thank you, thank you....I'm going to check out your blog AND loving that you are already pondering the new theme...another YAY!!

Sherry - the Sweet Treat LOVES you too...I'm so digging the way you are going to rise to this challenge...Thursday hurry up and get here!!
Meekiyu - yes...I like a little mixture of those two things ...it means I have to totally let my mind and all restraint fly out the window and isn't that when the best things take shape?? Hoping you will play too!!!

Actually, I've already started to make it. I have those excitement jitters right now!
All I can think about is Mork's suspenders! This one is going to be a challenge for sure...
Jess - I HAVE THE SAME JITTERS!! The last time you tried something it was amazing...I know this will be too!!!!!
Tart Deco - I can't stop laughing...seriously that was hilrious...I know you can do it!!!
Mork...I love it
hmmm... seeing as I pretty much only work in vibrant colors this doesn't seem like too much of a stretch for me :) But I haven't done a full out rainbow in a while!
I love this theme - it just came together like on its own ! It's a case of "I can't believe I didn't think of this before!" I really look forwarrd to seeing what everybody does with it...
An idea just popped into my brain. If I can pull it off in time it will be awesome. So awesome I may have to keep it for myself... :):):)
PS I am glad it is spring break for me right now cause I'll need the extra time.
Oooh. I like this one. Had a hard time with the Safari theme...
beckyrose - I love that despite the fact that you work in vibrant colors you found a way to challenge yourself...rock on!
meherio68 - I LOVE the fact that it seemed to come together on its own...now that's magic I can't wait to see!!!!!
Tart Deco - I'm SOOO glad it's Spring Break because you then have more time...ohhhhh I hope you can pull this off...I can't wait to see it ...soo exiting!!!!
Cycle Girl - YAY!! I'm so glad you are into this one....I really can't wait till Thursday WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!
so...i had a rainbow dream last night!! two out of my three kids have strep throat, so i haven't been able to start anything yet. but, it's definitely on my mind. hee hee. hope i can get something going today!
giraffelabel - first I'm so sorry about the kids!! I hope that they feel better soon..sending healing hugs...and I LOVE the fact that you had a rainbow dream ..that rocks!! I hope you are able to bring something to life but if not believe me I understand...well wishes and rainbow cartwheels
Many many years ago, I saw a movie that had a song in it with a line that went something like this.............wish me a rainbow wherever you are...................I don't remember any of the other words anymore, so I make up my own and put that line in..............
many years ago, I had my palm read - a few years before I allowed myself to go to school and eventually study drawing and painting, but this lady told me that color was very important to me.............little did she know!
Natasha - I just love seeing your wonderful smile. Sending you wonderful rainbow hugs! hehe
Rainbows mean color. Hmmmm if you have ever seen my drawings you will know that might be terrifying me at the moment:)
Cidtalk - having seen your work, work that I love, I need you to know that comment made me laugh out loud! And yet I have this deep seated belief that you will create something unexpected, some comment on chaos and rainbows that I never knew existed...ever hopeful
