@frappa77 Well done Francesca!!

Wooooooow! Thank you so much Ann... I'm both excited and frightened at the idea to host this challenge. I don't know the photographic techniques and so many of them have been already choosen for the previous editions. I'll give a look on the internet and look for an interesting one or ask to you for an help, before starting! I promise to start the new challenge by the end of the next week... :)

@frappa77 I'm sure you will find something good- but yes, feel free to ask! Also, there is nothing wrong with doing something from the beginning of the list (or any part for that matter) again. As host- it's your choice and there's no right or wrong way to select a technique.

Hi Olive! I would have liked to propose fire painting, but it is probably a little be dangerous and difficult to realize... Instead, could the crystal ball refraction photography be a good theme for the challenge? :)

@frappa77 Congratulations Francesca! Well deserved victory!

@frappa77 Hi Francesca- I'm so sorry I've been off 365 for almost a week! Yes, I think the crystal ball refraction would be fun- and for those who don't have one, perhaps you could add an alternative item (like a glass filled with water) as a substitute. It's really up to you to make the call so have fun with it!
