Challenge Prompts
April Theme - This month is brought to you by National Talk Like Shakespeare Day (April 23rd) and my love of the book Fool, a retelling of King Lear from the fool’s perspective. But for propriety’s sake I will stick with Shakespearian lines…
“And look upon myself and curse my fate” - craft something that has frustrated you, or is meant to frustrate someone else, or represents a frustrating character/saying/element.
“A rose by any other name…” - craft something that has flowers, or is red, or smells lovely.
“All that glitters is not gold” - craft something that is glittery or gold.
“Though she be but little, she is fierce” - craft something small or fierce.
“Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble. Cool it with a baboon’s blood, Then the charm is firm and good” - craft something that requires heat or fire, has bubbles, or is charming. (This is @storerboughtcreation’s favorite Shakespearean quote and if you wish her a happy birthday on April 28th you can possible get bonus points? If our illustrious leader can’t dole out a few bonus points, what’s the point of that power?)
May theme - Palindromes!
Taco Cat - Craft something with a lot of layers, or cat-like, or that is beige.
Step Not on Pets - craft something to be used while walking/moving, or something for (or depicting) a pet.
Never odd or even - craft something that has multiple parts, or uses multiple crafting techniques.
Borrow or Rob - craft something that “borrows” or “robs” supplies from a different craft’s stash, or make something for others to borrow or that you’re giving away.
Stressed Desserts - craft something that brings you comfort, or something that is sweet.
June theme - Updates! Upcycling? Reworking! Everything old is new again? Or perhaps everything great is made worse, depending on how you look at it!
Graphic Novel Adaptation - Craft something that is colorful, has no/few words, or is smaller (shorter) that the original. Or something inspired by your favorite graphic novel (and tell us about it!).
Movie Adaptation - Craft something that has moving parts, sounds, or incorporates the color silver (screen!). Or something inspired by your favorite movie (and tell us about it!).
Podcast Adaptation - Craft something that is black and white, has/is radio themed, or is a new fad/craze. Or something inspired by your favorite podcast (and tell us about it!).
Retelling - Craft something where you’ve changed up an existing pattern, or is a different take on an old craft, or combines two crafts together. Or something inspired by your favorite retelling (and tell us about it!).
Cliff’s Notes - Craft something super simple, that is made all in one piece, or is made to help someone get something done quickly or easily.

I should get a bedazzler. And then we can have a competition to see who can bedazzle the heck out of a project the most!
Your Easter swap projects are all so fun and cute! Spoink is freaking adorable. That tail! The snout and pink cheeks! Even though you can’t see it, I feel like Spoink is grinning like a fool. Though it has a dark entry description, it is now one of my favorites
I love that you crafted something to commemorate getting COVID during these crazy times. It is something you can whip out in 10-20 years to show young kids a bit of history.
Sorry I haven’t posted on here yet. Almost all of my crafts have been in swaps, but now I can finally post some!
