Yup, yup yup!

    I'd love this. I'm not good as many of the folks but I'd love to do
    something. 

    I'm currently participating in another group with a multimedia art
    swap. 

    The concept is a "treasure" that would be found in a box that would
    be found under a child's bed. You know when children find things and
    keep them in a box and when they need a boost are in introspective
    they go through their box of "treasures". 

    The rules were that it had to represent a word. Not a trite word
    (like love, hope, etc) it had to be between the sizes of 1.5"x2" and
    2"x4" and no thicker than .5". It has to have the word incorporated
    into it. It has to use multiple mediums. I chose to also have
    multiple textures. 

    I had a ton of fun with this. I'll be interested to see what others
    come up with. I ended up making a mobile (small) that represented the
    word "balance". It was choc-full-o opposites that hung in balance on
    this mobile (natural/man made, shiny/matte, colorful/black, yin/yang,
    day/night, land/sea) and I used several different materials -
    plastic, metal(of course), wood, shell, paper. I forged, colored and
    glued and wire wrapped.
