Spring Challenge: Rescuing Trash To Create Spring Themed Art

March 20th is the first day of Spring.

This is a Spring-themed Challenge.

The Challenge is to use some kind of trash or recycled materials incorporated into some form of art, be it, fine art, crafts, or a vintage item that was ready for the landfill or plucked from your neighbor's trash that you have turned into a work of art.

The entry has to be related to the subject of the season Spring in some way.

It can be something made entirely of trash saved from the landfills or have some kind of trash incorporated into the project.

Today, Friday Feb 10th starts the challenge. You have a month until Sunday March 11th at midnight EST to enter the item.

One entry per Zibbet ID.

Five winners will be chosen by a panel of judges.

The five winners will appear in the Fantastic Five on Monday March 19th, the day before the first day of Spring.

Items must be listed in your zibbet shop for sale.

Post your item in this thread and I will pin it to this Pinterest Board.

The Spring Challenge was so much fun! I hope we have another one soon. Can anyone organize one or do you have to get an ok from someone in charge at Zibbet?

Anna,

Thanks. I am happy to hear you enjoyed it.

The Challenges are done as part of the Fantastic Five that I write for Zibbet's Blog.
I welcome ideas for different challenge themes as well as volunteer judges and entries.

Anyone is, of course, welcome to do a challenge on their own blog or here in the forums and run it however they want and then feature the winners on their blog and/or post the winners in the forum here. The prize offered would be up to whoever runs the challenge.

Judy
