Hi! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer break. Over here in the States most of the schools have been on break for at least a month, but I know that UK schools are only just about to start. This time of year always brings a big change to our regular routines - and hopefully you have time to craft. And, perhaps, get your kids involved in crafting too. So our challenge here at The Male Room - TMR#65 for the next couple of weeks is a really fun one, we want you to use:
on your masculine projects. To me, this means getting inky and have lots of fun with paints, glue, etc. We can't wait to see what you make. Here's some inspiration from the Design Team:
You have until midnight (BST) on Tuesday 1st August, that's 7.00pm EDT in the States, to play along with our inky challenge. Do have fun!
