I'm in on this one please! Just to be sure, should the whole image have only black and white? Not a black and white vase with colorful flowers.

 

Gaby Ethington

1 Month Ago

Yes, Rose, the whole artwork should be in black and white or monochrome black and white. I will edit the rules above. Thanks for your question! :)

Day 2 has started, if you missed day 1, I am sorry you are out. :(

Thank you, Jolanta, for letting me know. Sorry you had to bow out but hope to see you next time!

 

Lucia Waterson

May I please ask in which collection do you put your vases with no flowers?

 

Gaby Ethington

1 Month Ago

I have a collection called black and white art, that is where I am putting mine, if that's what you mean...

 

Lucia Waterson

1 Month Ago

Good idea, thank you very much Gab, I will do that.
Besides, I have painted a colorful one for the weekly challenge, any suggestion about where I could put it, please?

 

Gaby Ethington

1 Month Ago

@Lucia - Well, I have a collection called "The UnCollection - Food, Signs, etc." for all my images that don't fit my other collections. :)

If you have a collection for 'Colorful Things', you could put it there. Or 'Vintage'. ? :)

 

Lucia Waterson

Crisis averted!

Trying not to fall back on simply playing with AI....
Decided to edit a photo of the flowers from my Son's wedding ......pleased with the result, uploaded and then at the last minute remembered it's black and white only!!
So more editing and successfully uploaded a second image!

 

Gaby Ethington

That was a good catch, Mo! I saw the color image in the once-a-week thread, so pretty! Nice in black and white too!

@Gaby or Abbie, Is there a way to VIEW all our CAC Vases in an area like the Contest area here on FAA? GJ

 

Gaby Ethington

1 Month Ago

I don't think so, GJ, the image tab on the CAC group site shows all of the images that people submit to the group, but the 'once per week' images may be sprinkled in between them. Other than that; I guess the only other place is the image thread, I know that may be cumbersome to scroll through it.

I will think on this, and I am open to any ideas...

 

Lucia Waterson

Thank you Gaby for your work and well done each one of you, great works!

Day 4 is over, challenge completed.

Well done, everyone! Loved all the artworks!
