I participated in a swap earlier this year in which the theme was 'Targets'. Anything goes as long as it includes a target of some type. I had a lot of fun with this one and did a series of collaged pieces with random magazine and print images that took my eye, along with watercolour and acrylic paints and stamps. It was a very free form exercise which was not only good for generating ideas for future pieces, but relaxing in that I didn't really have a clear finished product in mind...sometimes just diving in with no idea can bring out surprising results.
