Glee by JTomblinson
What do you mean, no jumping on the couch?? Taken at a photo shoot in November 2006. We were trying to get some nice holiday portraits as a gift for our playgroup sitter.

Entered for the “Jump and Jive” challenge, Two Word Challenge group, April 2009. Featured in the Two Word Challenge group, May 2009. Thanks, y’all! :D

The Key to Peace by Mui-Ling Teh
5 yen coins are typically given as donations at a Japanese Shinto Shrine because of the their hole, which is said to allow the wish to go through. There are several other cultural significance regarding the 5 yen coin. For example, 5 yen in Japanese is “Go-en,” which is the same as karma in Japanese (although written differently). Here the wish portrayed is the key to peace. The key I have here is one I made out of a wood block when I was 17. I made it to remind myself to work towards my goals and aspirations; it is my “Key To The Future”. Here it is the key to peace and the shrine is the door to that peace. The key is on a loop looping through the hole of the coin. Flying through the coin I also have my little folded peace crane I made not too long ago (Apr. 6, 08) out of a 6×6mm piece of paper (also portrayed in Born from Fingers and Born from the Pinky) “I shall write peace on your wings, and you shall fly all over the world” / (Sadako Sasaki – Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes) I could’ve done a computer generated key too, then it would’ve look more tidy than this one, however this image has more personal meaning for myself by using objects I made with my own hands. I like doing things by hand more, although it takes longer. I’ve played around with the settings of each layer in photoshop, and I’m having a hard time decided what looks best. This work has been featured in: / Two Word Challenge / Inspired Art / Alphabet Soup More Cranes and Mini-origami:

About This Group
Two word challenge is open to everyone, no matter what form your art takes; photography, painting/drawing, writing and digital art are all welcome. Every Monday an announcement will be placed in the group forum containing two unrelated words. Group members are free to interpret these word and create a piece of art which reflects and sums up these two words (this is not as easy as it sounds!) Each challenge is open to submissions for six week after the announcement and each artist may submit up to three works for each challenge. Here I would encourage people to experiment and step outside their comfort zone, for example, painters could submit one painting and one piece of writing (or stick to paintings if you so choose.) Please include the name of the group and the two words in your tags, please don’t title your work with the two words or we will all have art with the same name.
Group members are encouraged to email me with their two word suggestions. Depending on the amount of suggestions I cannot guarantee that all will be used, each member please do not send more than one suggesstion per week. All suggestions will be kept for future challenges and the name of the group member plus a link to their profile will be included in the announcement. If no suggestions are made then I will announce two words I have chosen, so please get in touch.
My hope for this group is that it will challenge all of us to produce work that we would not otherwise have thought of, and experiment with work we may not have tried before.
Changes to group submissions: Due to people submitting art which has nothing to do with the challenges all work submitted now requires my approval before being accepted. Please remember to tag your work with the two words used.
