We were all seriously impressed with this encaustic marvel.

#4 - Margo

We really like this friendly looking wizard - very Dumbledore!

Great colours and lovely layers too.

#11 - Manuela

A very clever take on the challenge, taking a quote from my (Deborah's) favourite author.

The pile of books and the shades of blue and aqua are just perfect!

This is a wonderful guy card. Really graphic, bold colours - magic!!

Congrats to you all - please pick up your badges from the sidebar and display them on your blogs.

And now a quick reminder of our current theme challenge - SHAKESPEARE - TMR#34. Have fun with your inspiration - just let us know where you got it and have fun creating your masculine projects based on our Shakespeare theme.  You've got lots of time to play - deadline is midnight (BST) Tuesday 10th May (that's 7.00pm EDT).

Challenge #34 - Theme & DT Call

Morning! Before we get to details about our new challenge, The Male Room is looking for some new design team members:

DESIGN TEAM CALL

The Male Room is a fortnightly (that's every two weeks) challenge. We focus on the men and boys in our lives. You can make anything - a card, scrapbook page, 3D project, banner, ATC, tag - so long as it's a paper craft and has a masculine style, that's fine. Our current DT tends toward clean and simple, so we're actively looking for crafters who like other styles, including mixed media and 3D work. If you are interested in joining the team you must play along with our next two challenges - this week's theme and challenge #35. Please add DT after your name if you want to be considered. If selected you will be required to make one project for each challenge, comment on entries and help pick the Winner and Honourable Mentions.

Now, details of our new challenge at The Male Room - TMR#34. For the next couple of weeks we want to see your masculine style project based on the theme

SHAKESPEARE

This year sees the world celebrating the life and works of William Shakespeare who died on 23 April 1616. How you interpret the theme Shakespeare is up to you, but do explain in your post. You could
be inspired by his sonnets, plays, his place of birth, or even quotes from his plays. Shakespeare also introduced many new words into the English language - you could play on that too!

Here's some inspiration from the Design Team:
