Help us celebrate the spring season with COLOR!

Thinking bright and colorful, choose a color palette that inspires you for spring.  Your entry can use any materials you desire!  The more colorful, the better, though!

Perhaps you'll share a beautiful batch of Easter eggs you create with dye and washi tape.  Maybe you'll make a gorgeous twirly rainbow skirt!  Wanting to tackle the ONE really intricate coloring page that keeps taunting you?  Fill it with color!  Been wanting to redecorate your craft room with a rainbow theme?  NOW is the time!

Here are some colorful projects to get your gears turning!

• Rainbow Bangles by craftylittlemonkey
• Spinning Patchwork Skirt by imwomn13
• Flower Wreath by ceep
• Crochet Lace Parasol by babukatorium
• Poppy Bowl by CrazyEyeGlass
• Disorderly Rainbow Embroidery by Smeddley

Rules:

• Craft your project during this challenge period (March 5 - April 9, 2018) only.  Projects created before this timeframe will be excluded from the voting poll.
• Each participant can enter ONE project (Although your entry can have multiple components to it).
• Post your craft during the period of April 2 - April 9 2018. No sooner.  No later.  On April 2, there will be a special folder created for entries.  We will reply with the folder/board link here on this thread.
• Voting will happen from April 10 - April 17 2018.
• The winner will be officially announced on our first business Monday of the next month, in our monthly newsletter, on this thread, and on the Craftster blog!  We will contact you via Private Message, after the announcement, to get your prize package information.
• If cheating of any sort is discovered, the applicable entry and votes will be disqualified.

Originality:

It's probably impossible to know whether your project is 100% original, has never been posted on Craftster or made by anyone else in the past.  But if your project was definitely inspired by something you've seen before, please give credit to that project.

Prizes:

At the end, we'll set up a poll right here and the first place winner will get...

(1) their project in the Featured Projects area
(2) their project in the Craftster Blog
(3) and this Craftster prize (winner can receive prize in U.S. or non-U.S.):
Their choice of any one item from one of Craftster's online shops!

Can I enter something that I've shared a progress photo of? I'm working on a custom doll who's going to be quite colorful when she's finished and would like to use her as an entry but I've shared a couple of progress photos of her in a thread.
I understand if I can't use her and will try to come up with something else if need be.

ETA: nevermind. I have to start from scratch with her except for a couple of minor details. I messed up her eyes pretty badly and her hair came off so it'll be like a whole new project.

I have done only the tiniest bit of work on my entry. My jobs have been very demanding of late, then when I get home I am tired and uninspired. This might be a last-minute thing

Oh my goodness, her eyes and hair.   What happened?

[RedheadWithThread]

On the eyes, I didn't thin the acrylic paints enough. For her hair, I didn't let the glue dry long enough before I cling wrapped it to work on her face.
I still haven't finished her, either I'm going to work on her some tonight and try to finish her.

Maybe I'm missing it but I can't find the link for posting our entries.

[craftylittlemonkey]

I don't think it's up yet. I'm sitting patiently on a very colourful project myself but I keep thinking, hmm, I've got time to make something else for another option, right? LOL .

[sweets4ever]

Sorry about that!  I was still cleaning up unicorn fluff!   Creating the board right now and I'll post a link here in a momento!
