We love to host challenges that really push our Tribe members to step outside of their comfort zones and try new things. This challenge was no exception and was completely different than any other theme we've had in the past. We decided to go retro mod and our Tribe members did not disappoint! We had several amazing entries but the following two really blew our minds.

Our first place winner, Julie Lee! Her piece was not only mid-century modern inspired, but she added her own creative little twist with the wing and the imagery she is so widely known for. She kept with the theme and yet, she infused her own signature style into her piece to come up with this wonderful composition. Congratulations, Julie!

Our second place winner really captivated us with her mix of mid-century geometrics and a warm, luscious grunge inspired color palette. Jackie PN, congratulations to you! Jackie's use of the eyes and the face were an inspiring touch and very unique direction in which to take this theme.

We always enjoy our members' submissions to our challenges. Our next contest will be announced **THIS FRIDAY** and we promise. You absolutely do NOT want to miss this whopper. Join our Relics & Artifacts® Tribe on Facebook and be sure to keep an eye on the Muse for the big announcement this Friday. It's sure to get you fired up and excited for what's ahead.
