MID May PAT ~ Due Date - July 18, 2026

[jtpaints]

Drawing off a couple recent new interests, since I've been listening to historical drama audiobooks set in the 17-1800s and recently rescued a turtle hatchling....

My themes:
Group 1, a turtle, especially a red eared slider
Group 7, violet, woman in a ball gown

Group #4 oldest something: Oldest board game with instructions printed on clay tablet (still played) Royal Game of Ur (Mesopotamia 2400BCE)

 

[Amai]

this was not next on my time organized to do list, but the themes were too good to resist - hopefully I understood them correctly, if not there is still time for me to fix something if someone points it out to me!

jtpaints, for your ballgown lady (group 7), did you want the fashion style to be the same period as the audiobooks (1700-1800)? That would be the Rococo era, Marie Antoinette’s time. Or some other timeframe, or anything? I’m happy to do any era, I study period fashion, and I love your theme!

Can my theme for group 7 be bearded lady, artist's choice of color?

No problem. So...literal or abstract?

 

[AmethystStar]

Hello @oddbreed and @catladybj ! I wondered if it would be possible to swap my assigned altered playing card? I have no 3 of hearts in either of my two crafting decks, could player one (me) be assigned 3 of clubs instead?

 

[ceejay]

Okay - my theme for group 1 is: A child, or children at play.

Here are my first two cards! Now we just need a couple more players!

@catladybj - I hope you don't mind bugs! These are pretty innocuous ones at least! Going for a stamps within a stamp.

@AmethystStar - The playing cards that I planned to use for the ace of spades was actually undersized and this was the only deck I had with an ace of spades! I attached it, to of all things, the back of a 3 of diamonds. Little did I know! But it all worked out. The unicorn is based off a block image used for carving carousel horses. I tried to keep a few of the blocking marks since these were rather interesting. So not realistic, but also not cute.

Hopefully these both work.
