I agree with you, Shanley. I still haven't mastered what we've got ... there's so much more in there to be discovered. As Stevedover said in another thread, the standard is going up all the time and gives us all more to aim for (not exactly those words but that was the gist).

As a matter of fact, I feel I have still much to discover in EACH theme, including the oldiest, as animals or flowers. Expecially I feel that beads, animals and avatars offer infinite possibilities to our community of artists that we still not imagine. And I'm just beginning to step into the gothic theme, wich is the more ostic for me.

not mentioning lunartic, that is a very challenging theme and exactly for this reason, needs more time to be explored.

Obviously every new theme adds more fun to TD, and I understand that a site have to offer often something new, but it could well be also something different from a new theme - it could be a new challenge, a new feature, new possibilities.

Personally I'd appreciate much more the possibility of posting the pics on the forums WITHOUT the link appearing. This allowed us to post pics connected not only vertically but also horizontally, with many funny combinations - even "mosaics!).

Posting pictures in that way on forums would be great, I tried recently to post Stan and Ollie side by side and made a complete mess of things lol, also I worry that if Danny was to agree to all of those suggestions that the theme would lose the puzzle element which makes a picture rewarding, each theme on offer can be explored to match the style and texture of the picture you are hoping/wishing to create. That's not to say that there isn't room for some improvements, just please keep things in perspective.

Well, I'd love fabrics since TD and especially the beads theme has already inspired me to make fabrics.

mmmm.. I agree totally with Qsilv, in just wanting some usable whites and blacks..

.. and also with Kugusch & mrozowski, with 'metallica'

(fabrics might be OK, but I feel it would be rather limited - or maybe, too open, as everyone would call every pic a 'wallpaper design')

I would like to explain that when I told about fabric I referred to a new theme and not to a new showcase. In other words, the bits of the palette could be inspired to "fabrics" theme, that means not only tucks of fabric, but also reels, balls of wool, trimmings, buttons, press-studs, zips, needles and pins, scissors, and every tailor's tool... there are thousand of possibilities.

But I repeat, I'm not fretful nor longing for a new theme at present!

I am fairly new to TD and can put names to many fantastic pictures on here and would love the next theme to be self portraits so I can have some idea what all these amazing artists look like!

Chrissyjoy

I am so new I thought you were after a suggestion of a theme to a showcase! Sorry.... forgive my ignorance!

Hi Chrissy - there has been a challenge some time ago about self-portrait: maybe someone should be able to pic it up. It would be nice to add there the selfportraits of the new entries

Chrissyjoy

I've seen a few self portraits. I'm not sure I'd be able to do anything which looks like me but I'd love to see everyone else's attempts. I already have a picture in mind of everyone so i'm sure there would be many surprises!

Brunnhilde

Like Chrissyjoy, I too would like some of the very talented artists who do such good portraits to give us self-portraits as well. Caricatures would be acceptable of course! - for the more modest artists. Portraits seem so very difficult to me, but I'm willing to try ...

here it is: the self-portrait challenge! Here you can see many of us!

I've really enjoyed seeing the self portraits! Thanks for directing me to it!
