Paint Box Grab Bag Challenge week 1

Paint Box Art Studio’s First Grab Bag Challenge!

From Ms. Amy: First off, a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in our very first grab bag challenge! We couldn’t be more pleased with the amount of enthusiasm and support we received for this project, and we can’t wait to continue it…with themes!

There were so many awesome creations made.  From houses with hanging chairs, pools, lofts, and zip lines, to pottery, to bunny houses, to super-hero capes, to aliens and UFO’s, to a mini bowl and goldfish, I mean wow.  Can it even get any better than this?  Not sure, but let’s keep it goin’ anyway!

Hope you all enjoy the photos and videos we received of everyone’s completed projects, as well as Darwin’s process video!  Take a look at some pics, and make sure you get to the bottom to see who our first Grab Bag Challenge WINNER is (winner receives a free bag for this week and will be featured in the week’s process video for inspiration)!

From Jaimee: Thanks so much to everyone for participating; it really does keep us all connected and it means so much. I can’t help myself – I must comment on all of the participants below! To any of our participants from last week who still want to send pics over.. we can’t wait to see them! We will put them up when they are ready!!
