Gozer, I have a questionā¦ Where are the prompt palaces located? I just got used to the Craftster website and now, Iām so lost at navigating the websiteā¦
Hey! And Welcome to Lettuce Craft and the Games!
The Prompt Palace is here.
Nerd Games - Winter 2022 and donāt forget to say hi on the Discussion Thread (link in the intro).
Welcome!!!
Nearly everything youāll need to find is at the top of the Nerd Games thread. The very first comment has rules and important info. The second comment is the prompt palace. The third comment is the tracking checklist and team rosters. This season we have a few extra fun things going on, and those are posted in the 4th and 5th comments.
We try to keep the info in the first few comments of every season for consistency and to make it easier to find the info youāre looking for. I hope we see you around!

Project Link: (Paste the link to your community post for the bonus points) *
Brief Description: I am learning watercolors and they are really hard. I picked a watercolor landscape theme for the ATC swap and had the hardest time. I made four of them actually. This was my last attempt. It looks much better in a picture than it does in real life.
Project Photo(s):
Watercolor is hard, and trees look easier than they seem (Iām doing a tree study today). Iām impressed you tried so hard for my atc. Thank you.

Project Name: Razor and Ink
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: My partner was using a new technique, drawing with a razor and ink, and encouraged me to try it, too. This was the outcome. A razor is definitely scratchy and can be used to clean. I āshadedā with ink-tinted glue. I didnāt know what I was doing at all, and didnāt plan it beforehandā¦itās the journey that mattered, not the destination.

Jumping back into the games, I really want to be more active and creative. So far this month most of what I made is food
Prompt: January Battle - Bath

Project Name: Soup with a chance of meatballs
Project Link: Soup with meatballs
Brief Description:
Cold and rainy weather just asks for soup, so I made some. Soup is warm liquid in a container, sort of like a tiny bath (although I donāt recommend actually bathing in it). Also, like a bath, it helps to warm and comfort.

I finally updated the team roster and tracking checklists. I will post the tracking update tomorrow. I feel like Iāve been slacking on things this month. I am still healing but doing much better, Iām just so darned tired all the time. Iāll try to stay on top of tracking better from here on out.
No worries @storerboughtcreation we just want you to heal and get better. Thank you for thinking of us. We have been thinking about you too.
@LovelyMiss that razor drawing sounds terrifying! LOL!
