PEANUT BUTTER
My culinary super power is making meals out of whatever I happen to find in the cabinets and making it seem purposeful. Sure, I can make a beautiful breakfast muffin from peanut butter and flax seeds. And yes, I can make cookies out of peanut butter, honey and a single egg. Okay, maybe I can just make anything out of peanut butter–the perfect ingredient. But, not everything comes with the perfect ingredients. While most folks won’t think the kit from this Call is perfect to create a masterpiece, you’ll have all the ingredients; just make it work. Take a look…

Mystery Build 2014
Mystery Build is an art challenge developed by two artists to inspire creativity. The concept is simple. Buy a kit. Make something out of the contents of the kit. And, upload either a picture or video of your creation.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to legal residents of the U.S. and D.C.
THEME: “Build a Dream” — You may interpret the contest’s theme any way you wish.
MEDIA: You must buy a Mystery Build Kit. You may choose to use anything in the Kit and the Mystery Build box itself, but you are not required to use all of the materials. Entrants MAY ADD paint, varnish, lacquer, food coloring, oil, water, dye, ink, and similar liquids to decorate or enhance the entry, or to manipulate the materials. Liquids may not be used for structural elements, but may only be used as a surface enhancement or as a tool. Substances which are not liquid at room temperature, such as wax, are excluded. Liquid adhesives not included in the Kit are also not permitted. Judges will have final ruling on use of liquids.
Entrants may use any tools available to them to alter the materials in the Mystery Build Kit, barring tools that add or leave behind an additional physical material, such as a stapler which leaves a metal staple, or a soldering operation which adds solder. You may make tools out of any materials you want. Tools may include molds, which also do not have to be made of materials from the Kit.
