My fellow Fly-Triber, Lori Moon, is hosting the May Flower Challenge over on her blog. It’s a simple challenge — just create a flower a day! You can use your camera, paints, papers, pens or pencils.

If you follow me on Facebook (either my personal page or the Mixed Grill Favorites page), you may have seen references to a mysterious collaborative project I’ve been working on. I’m happy to finally be able to tell you all about it! I have spent the last several weeks talking with 29 other mixed…
