Theme number 7 submissions

Look at this!  Submissions for round seven!!
Great variety this round.  This is a very interesting collection - The interpretations for the theme of "Full Circle" include paintings, photos, and cooking.  The ideas behind the "Full Circle" were interpreted so differently too...just goes to show how we all can see the same inspiration in such different ways.  Thanks to all the participants as you make this site a great spot to be inspired to create even more!  And a very special welcome to our newest artist, Danijela!  To learn more about a particular piece or artist click on that artist's page (links on the left sidebar).  To see any of the images larger just click on the image.  Thanks for visiting the Lab and without further ado, enjoy.

Inspiration: Full Circle

 "Around the World" 

Photo and digital creation

"Family Generations"

2 Photos and Poem 

by Joanna

Yesterday is prehistory

which follows history

and comes before a tomorrow's mystery

sounds very blistery

and I suppose it is, as each one is a story in itself!

A cake has some similarity

it doesn't always give satiety

you can be the first, last, or somewhere in the middle

and even when you are the icing on the top, being a slice can be a fiddle

It can be a comfort and delight

a support to tell you everything will be alright

indeed a powerful might

and like generations before, gone in a flash!

Painting & Poem

Toes curl around;
Line up behind heels,
Looking up at the rainbow

That brought back my smile.

There you have it, round seven!  Thanks again to everybody for making it such a great round.  I hope to see you all again for round eight! 

Theme number six submissions

Here they are, round six images!  It was a great turn-out!  Thanks to everyone who contributed!  This round's inspiration seemed to make most people think of photography.  Vidya was the only artist to choose another medium.  It's so interesting to see how differently our imaginations interpret a single word.  I know you have all been excited to see this round too so without further ado here are the round six submissions.  Oh, and remember, if you would like to know more about a particular work or artist you can visit their artist page.  Thanks for visiting the ACoLab!  I hope to see you for round seven!!

Well, there you have it- "Shadow" as interpreted by eight different imaginations.  Thanks again to everyone who participated!

As a side note, I will be posting round seven's inspiration and also have made a few changes that will help me out in posting and also help you all in promoting and future themes.  I'm afraid I got a bit unorganized this go-around, sorry for the delay.  I have edited the LoDown page a bit so feel free to check that out.  The new changes should help me get submissions up closer to the theme's deadline.  Thanks again to all participants for making this project so much fun!  You are all an inspiration!!

Artist Page - Angela

I am just getting to know Angela.  She strikes me as a talented woman full of strength and inspiration.  You can share in her inspiration, photos, and her heart-felt musings on her blog, The Angela Project.  Thanks Angela for joining the Lab!  We look forward to getting to know you better!!
Here are Angela's submissions in order of newest to oldest.

This picture's pretty simple, but something about it just draws me in. I guess it's a bit weird to be amazed with your own shadow at 33 yrs old, but I am.
