July Art Challenge: Miniature

[dreamflower]

The July Art Challenge theme is "Miniature". Any media is welcome!

This month we challenge you to create something tiny, or to make something tiny the focus of your entry. The subject of your art should reflect Tolkien's stories or his world, but other than that the choice is yours. You may use any media you choose, so long as it can make something tiny; for example, you could make icons, Artist Trading Cards, or other small items. So long as it is smaller than a full-sized version would be, it will count as "miniature".

All art must be rated G or PG. See our ratings guidelines here! After the challenge, art will be archived at Many Paths to Tread.

Upload pictures of your project to your favorite photo-sharing site (Photo-bucket, Flickr, LJ scrapbook, etc.), and then post the picture to the community by Tuesday, July 17.

Include the following header:

<b>Artist:</b> <b>Title:</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Inspiration</b> <b>Media:</b> <b>Artist's Notes:</b> <lj-cut>

Please put the following in the subject line: Art: Title of piece by your name (e.g. Art: Portrait of an Elf by MarySue). This is VERY important, in case there are also stories in the moderator's queue, so that we mods don't get the entries confused. Tag your entry "art: miniature" and " '12 july art".

We hope we'll have lots of artists participate!

Thank goodness! I've done accidently erased stuff a couple of times myself, so I know how you feel. Sometimes, I didn't even notice until a couple of days later! At least what you've written is still fresh in your mind.

Yes, it is good that I found out quickly! *sigh* But the Challenge is this weekend...I hate the lost time!

Good job! And look at it this way - none of the rest of us will know what it was like before, so we will love it as usual.

Now, that's three pieces of bad luck, so you are DONE for the week, ok?

*sends barrels of good luck and a sturdy lad to tap it for you*

hehehe

[dreamflower]

Yes, well, that's what Dana told me, too!

Oh--you're right! I should have known; at least the third thing was just me.

(And thanks for the barrels! I will be needing it, really!)

LOL... I just did your trick with my first reply, but I didn't realize I had my original stuff up in another window, so you can have two, LOL.

"I know it never feels as good, but hey! at the very worst none of us will know what it was like before!

OK, so that's 3 things... that's your quota of bad luck this week, you hear?!?

*sends barrels full of good luck, and a couple of sturdy hobbit lads to tap them*

hehehe"

Ok, so I didn't have an icon of 'a couple of sturdy hobbit lads' so I changed it to 'one studly hawaiian lad', LOL. Hope you don't mind!

I'm glad you managed to restore most of the writing. It's dreadful when something like this happens.

[dreamflower]

It made me really sick when it happened, let me tell you!

I'm glad you managed to rewrite the things you lost. *hugs* I'm really paranoid and save my work every 5 minutes or so. And I had 4 back-ups of my bachelor thesis when I was working on that (I know, I'm crazy :-P)
