Compendium of Curiosities II

 Pocket Watch - Challenge #9

 Pulled out my trinket boxes and had fun digging through them to find just the right things for Challenge #9 at Studio L3.
This week is the Pocket Watch and is found on page 35 of
Simon Says Stamp will be giving a $25 gift certificate to their shop to one lucky randomly selected participant in this week's challenge!



I found so many kewl things that I had a hard time deciding just which ones to use. I decided to go with a simple and elegant design for this one as I know I'll be making
several other tiny works of art so I can swap them out when I want something different.
I'll be putting it on a chain or pretty ribbon to wear as a necklace.

Be sure to check out Tim's book and see what fun stuff he does.
We will be working out way through the techniques in a random order chosen by
Linda at Studio L3 and we would love to have you join us!

As a side note...my sister and I took a little road trip to
our local scrapbook store She Scrapbooks today. 
It is 30 minute drive and I wanted to check out its new location. 
Donna Downey was teaching classes there today, but I didn't find out in time to sign up.
I was hoping to meet her, but I got there on their lunch break and didn't really have the time to hang out for the few hours before the next class started. 
I'll have to pay attention and hopefully she will be back again soon!

I did pick up some Picket Fence Distress Stain which I can't get at my local Michaels or JoAnns and a couple other small things that I wanted to have on hand for upcoming challenges. 

Now my pile of goodies on my desk is calling me.
I still need to do my June tag for Tim's Tags of 2012 and
I'm itching to do Saturday's StepXStep at Frilly and Funkie. 
Hope everyone has a great evening!  I'm off to play!

Hi Anna!
Really love the time piece. So different without an element of clock hands or numbers. I love that you can change it out on the ribbon to wear a number of ways! Sounds like you had fun today! Wish I could have been there! Hugs, Shel

Tim Holtz -Tag Tags of 2013

March When Tim posted his March tag for the 12 Tags of  2013  I knew I was going to have to do some major improvising because although I have a lot of Tim Holtz products in my stash, the only things I had this time was the Foliage and Memo Pins.   It took me a few days to wrap my head around it... but in the end I'm really happy with how my tag turned out  and it was nice to have some creative time at my art desk. Thanks for stopping in and feel free to leave me a comment and let you me know you stopped by! Anna I didn't have the Fringe Die so I  cut my grass by hand.  I looked at the picture of the die and sized my grass to match  Tim's.  I had Green Co-ordinations but not the Kraft one...so my grass is green on both sides of the fence.  I sanded the paper first and then gave it a good dose of Walnut Stain Distress Ink before cutting.  Then after I put it on my tag, I gave it a little hint of Picked Raspberry. ...

Project 30 - Day 16 - January 30, 2007

This is Momma Cat. She adopted us a couple of years ago when she needed a home for her kitties. She's guarding a lizard that she'd been playing with and wasn't quite sure whether I was after it or not. We are having our two weeks of Winter these days with cold, gray skies and blustery wind. What a difference it makes down at the park... This is the same little willow that I posted about a week ago...only now it has been bitten by the cold and turned all brown and sad...

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? As always I'm running late posting my workdesk, but a busy day at work and then I had errands to run  which kept me away from my desk until late this evening. Once I finally had a chance to sit down I dug out my acrylics to work a bit more in my art journal.   My daughter brought me a snack of popcorn and I had to be careful not to eat my brushes or try and wash them out in the popcorn cup. If you look close on the right side you can see Momma Cat.   She thought I needed supervision and it was all I could do to keep her from walking through the wet paint! ...then when I wasn't paying close attention my other black cat, Sneakers, walked right through my little puddle of black paint.   Now THAT was fun trying to get it all off of his paws.   He wasn't too happy with me after that! and here's a little close-up of the journal page that I'm working on. Stamps are by Stamp Camp .   ...
