the ekphrastic challenge *revealed* : part one

xan-a-du!
you nicies sure love to rise to the creative occassion and i just love you for it!

as you might recall, last monday we started a fun new challenge here: suggest handmade works that are ekphrastically inspired by the colour pallette of a famous piece of art. for our first session, i chose the wintry *return of the hunters* by pieter brueghel!

well well well! the response was wonderful!
and i just loved seeing what you came up with... without further ado...


..................


what lovely tones, superstars!
as an extra special mention, i am THRILLED that the wonderful vadjutka designed a special piece just for the challenge - and isn't it a beauty?

*return of the hunters* necklace by vadjutka

good heavens!
i just love it!

and bravo to everyone who took the challenge!

tune in again soon for a brand new round of the ekphrastic challenge!
here's to being inspired by all you lovelies!

    Thanks for including my little tote bag! This was a fun challenge. And . . . I was so nervous about clicking on "ekphrastic."

    So many creative people making so many great things! How special.
