Hello aArtists!

It’s time for another challenge from Anna Aspnes. The AnnaTeam selects a creative page or design concept from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Be inspired, create your own ‘AnnaLift,’ upload your page to the Anna gallery and include it here in this forum thread. Upload your page by Friday January 12, 2024 by 8:00 pm EST with the title, ‘AnnaLift. ’ One lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $5.00 GiftKard to Anna’s shop.

HOW IT WORKS: On Saturday the AnnaTeam posts a creative concept from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Check out the inspiration and decide what speaks to you. Is it the design, the color, the wordART, or maybe the photo? Then enjoy artfully playing—there is no right or wrong way to ArtPlay.

Choose ONE idea to lift or choose it ALL and lift it completely. Be inspired, create your ‘AnnaLift’ and then upload your page to the Anna gallery, plus include it here in this forum thread. It would be great if you could link back to your page in the gallery too!

Anna’s products mix well with so many kits/designers and Anna welcomes you to include these with your Anna Products on your AnnaLift page.

If you’ve never challenged yourself to an AnnaLift—just do it!

If you’ve never posted or shared your AnnaLift—just do it!

If you have time to leave some love for someone in the gallery—do it too!
(Your kind words may inspire and encourage someone!)

Please post your art in this thread and link to the Anna Aspnes gallery to win the $5 giftcard.

A Sweet Gift by Myla

A Sweet Gift by Myla creates a dynamic portrait. The view from the perspective of an adult allows the viewer to be pulled into the world of a child. The young face shines and smiles at the photographer. An oversized tiger adds charm. Myla repeats the stripes throughout her artistry. Patterns create unity and variety as she hints at giraffes and zebras. Brushes create a wild safari world for the little girl and her pet. A bold vertical line supports the figure and protects her from the a watchful tiger who rests in the sun. A neutral color scheme of peach, warm brown, and black are balanced with a creme. A delicate title is created with a script and a beaded thread. The artistry is visual dynamic and exciting.

Thank you - Myla - for sharing your stunning and inspirational artistry.

Thanks for the challenge. I've been wanting to scrap this poem for quite awhile and I've been binge watching a Norwegian crime series...and I've been getting posts about Norse runes from a calligrapher I follow. This is the result, LOL.

Amazing! Has a sense of beautiful, tribal abstraction!
