A house for TGIF


The challenge on Thankgoditsfriday is to make a house . What puzzles me on that blog is the challenge comes out on Friday and by 12.00 there are 15 entrees already how do you all do that?

Are you all part of the DT or do you get told beforehand what the next subject is.

I tried using my new TH foamsquares to blend the ink but I'm beginning to fear that I cannot work with them. I find the old kitchen sponge in pieces works better for me.

I think the challenge goes live the night before TBH! I'm always quite stunned by the number of early entries myself! Having said that, I love this house you've created, especially the spider's web.
I don't use TH foam thingies either - ditto bits of torn off sponge. I also made a sponge dauber using sponge stuck to the bottom of a cork!!

The shape of this house is wonderful, so unique!
(Maybe they get up and create at three in the morning like I do. I have a feeling the time zones make up for some of it, too.)

Some of the challenges do post what will be coming up next. Also, I'm with Louise. When I can't sleep, sometimes I get up and am doing stuff on the computer in the middle of the night, or rather the wee hours of the morning. It's already mid morning in Europe by then.

Your house is adorable. I love the colors and the way you were able to dab with the kitchen sponge. Super art piece.
