The 'make-it' game

  Earlier in the year I posted to play the make-it game, as sort of pyramid 'giving'. In asking another participant to
send me a gift, I agreed to post and invite people to ask me to send them something. The first five to 'play' were in.
They in turn would have to post the game on their site and commit to sending gifts to any players that asked, and so on...

I had four players. This was back in March. I guess, that as I draw and paint, it would come as no surprise to the players
that they would receive a little piece of art from me. Initially I wanted to do four paintings of Stonehenge in each of the seasons.
I spent a day at it and by the end of it I had binned about eight โ€“ it just wasn't working right.

So, a different course of action. I still wanted four related pictures to send out, so I looked through my sketchbook and
realised that I had several pictures I painted during out trip to China last September.

These then are what my four players will receive...

But I have a problem. Who do I send what?
Well let them decide. The four know who they are so all they need to do is ask for a number 1-4.
First come, first served.

Such great work! You're the one who got me into this game. I imagined that I would have my gifts to pay forward ready by June, but now it's looking like I won't even start them until July. Life + procrastination.


How on earth could I choose? I truly would love any of them. Any of them would  go wonderfully in our Asian dining room. I think I would rank #1 first, and then #2 and #3 are tied for 2nd place. Is that helpful at all?! If it's not, I'll just ask my husband. My heart is going pitter-patter with excitement here!

Okey dokey. No1 it is. One down three to go (think I may have to go visit the others and drop a hint).

I knew you painted but I guess I had not looked at them this closely.  You are amazing.

No 4 is still up...only 1 has gone to 'Big Toe People'. Neeka1 was not a player...just hoping for no.4 if I couldn't track down the four original players, so if you prefer 4 it's yours.

IWANT #3, if I'm late other admirable rankings go 2,1,4 - allhave their appeal.  I moved again so I'm sending corrected info in a message.

is #4 still up for grabs?? Cuz if so that one is definitely my favorite. Thanks for coming and reminding me. I don't think 4 people responded on mine- I may have to do a new one. thanks Bob!

Hi Erin, No.2 I'm afraid. Kevrach took up the offer to change his choice to No.4. (see previous posts).
