Compendium-of-Curiosities-Challenge

Ok, Better Late Than Never....

Over at Studio L3, Linda has been hosting the Compendium-of-Curiosities-Challenge where every week she has challenged everyone to take the technique of the week and make art.


I wanted to play from the beginning but alas real life gets in the way... I finally got caught up enough to offer some art for week 4 Shabby Chic!


I made a card with an asian flair, the charater means "Blessings of Wealth" The stamps are from Oasis Stamps available from Rubberneckerstamps.com

There are great prizes to be won on her blog along with prizes from the All Things Tim Yahoo Group so hopefully you will play along too.

Sharona's Canvas Swap (a la Chaos)

Over on the ATT group Sharona is hosting a swap where the participants have to create 5 x 7 canvases that she is going to use to create a collaborative piece for all players.

Here is a teaser picture of my contributions.

Memorial Day Tag

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

I was feeling a little vintage today so I decided to make a tag using a new embossing folder and some ephemera that I got in the Birthday swap on the All things Tim yahoo group.
First I embossed a tag then inked it up of course and dusted it with Perfect pearls. Added a word stick, metal corner, and a key from Tim's Alterations line, a bow and a pin and wah- la!

Rememeber to hold on to the ones you love.

Chaos Tags Revealed!!

OK so today was the day... My Chaos tags went postal and here are the final images before they become part of 12 different canvases. I cant wait to see every ones work all together. This has been a really fun swap and I'm sure the finished project will be AMAZING.

Enjoy and let me know your thoughts.



Single tag up close. On a background of old encyclopedia pages, Tim's stamp of David is the main image. Only with a natural colored eye peeking through the brass key hole. I used watercolor pencils topped off with Ranger's Glossy accents.
Make time for Art stamp from Victorine Originals.



Close up of 3 tags, Colors are Wild Honey and Forrest Green from Tim's new Distress colors.

Each tag is topped with a gold tassel to add a little motion to the piece.

The Chaos Project

On the All Things Tim group on Yahoo there is a swap that was inspired by the project shown on Tim Holtz blog http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/03/index.html and also on Jennifer McGuires blog http://jennifermcguireink.typepad.com/
I am doing one of the larger tags for the canvas in group 2.
