Unity: The Grand Final

The International Tournament of Art & Craft

The International Tournament of Art & Craft is nearing the end. After 5 weeks, 5 destinations and 5 challenges, we are on to the grand final. If you are just hearing about this for the first time, ITAC is a completely free, where in each of the past 5 weeks a group of international artists presented a challenge based on the culture of a different continent. They provided a guide to follow so you could create a project, shared their own artwork, and offered videos and step-out instructions so you can learn new skills. And there are giveaways. There is still time to complete all the challenges - including the grand final - as the deadline is not until September 24.

My contribution is all about harmony and unity between and among all people.

To see more images of my project and all the details of this challenge - along with artwork, tutorials, and the giveaway - head here.

ITAC 2017

The International Tournament of Art & Craft

Won't you join me for an online, international tournament filled with creative challenges, tutorials, prizes, and a few surprises.

For 5 consecutive weeks beginning August, a group of international artists have prepared a set of weekly creative challenges, each representing a world continent, to inspire the artist in you. 

Each challenge comes with its own theme, set of instructions, tips, tutorials and masterclass.  There will also be a sixth, final challenge as a grand finale. Oh yeah...and prizes. Lots of prizes.

It is free to join and the deadline for all challenges is not until September 15 -- so there is plenty of time to participate even if you are busy. Every level of skill is welcome!
