This page is where you will find our monthly challenge - an opportunity to use a prompt conjured up by Ali and then interpreted by you.

The Aim:
To use the starting points suggested here or explore your own and create something around that brief. You might find yourself deviating wildly from where you began or you may like some of the resources offered below. No matter how you tackle it and what the end result, it’s the creating that matters.
Share:
Let us know what you have been up to! A huge part of The AABA is the community of people just like yourself. Take a photo of any part of your process and share it in the Facebook group that you can find HERE.

I hope you have all been able to experience the joy of walking along the edge of a beach - that bit where the waves meet the shore and deposit all kinds of treasure, ready for the passer-by to discover.
It’s that treasure that we are going to use as our inspiration, whether it’s a shell, seaweed or a sea worn piece of glass…
Next to this text, you will find a link to a Pinterest Board I have created and if you haven’t used it before, there is an excellent article HERE by 99 Robots that takes you through how it works. You can choose to scroll through the images via this page or have a read of the article and hop over to Pinterest with a cuppa and create your own account. Don’t forget to follow me (@alisoncboard) to see what else I have stored there.

 

Would you like to start off with a photograph instead or you may have some photographs and found you have the perfect image for this month. Maybe if you shared your photos over on the Facebook page someone else might find them to be the perfect place to start…
Here are a few photographs I found on Unsplash and the links are listed below for you to download them for yourself:
