In 2015, members of the International Freeform Fiberarts Guild were given the theme Ocean/the Color of Water for the Annual Challenge. 50 artists participated, including 13 first timers, interpreting the theme as it inspired them. The range of art created matches the depth of the theme.

They were encouraged to share their inspiration as well as the actual artwork.

None of the artists saw any of the other's work until the online gallery went live.
