This is what I was inspired to create as my entry for Challenge 4 – aren’t you proud of me for getting it done before the deadline for the second time in a row? Anyway – once more – the challenge required us to present our interpretation of the technique listed on Pge 49 of Compendium of Curiosities Vol 3. We are requested not to share the technique out of copyright respect to Tim Tim. I have to admit that this was one of my favourite things that I have crafted this week purely because I used a slew of different Tim Techniques and because I love gears and doll stamps, wire, glossy accents and grunginess. Personally, I thought it was awesome and I was pleased with the overall outcome. Chairman Mau however says: “Busy, but pretty”…..
Here are a few close-ups for the seriously interested

Candice, you've outdone yourself this time. Your piece is fantastic. Absolutely love the colours and the background is stunning. Busy - huh - what does Chairman Mao know?????? You just tell him from me that it's not busy, it's ART! I agree with you - it is awesome. Well done on meeting the deadline again - you're making a habit of it. Hope you can carry on making more ART. Love Jean.x
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Love the wire hearts and metal gears... the crown on top of her head is my favorite part (besides of course, your lovely texture!) So glad you joined us again at CC3C Candice. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Lovely details! :-)
ReplyDeleteLots of fabulous colour and texture here Candice, a brilliant tag xx
ReplyDeleteCandice...your card is awesome! I love your harlequin in the background. The little metal gears and crown are great embellishments! I also love how you've created "HEART" and little hearts out of wire. So cool and creative. Your girl dressed in the heart robe is also darling. You are one talented lady!!! Thanks so much for the lovely comment you left on my blog and thanks for sharing your wonderful art with all of us at CC3C. <3 Candy
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! Love the wire work and the colourful gears and cogs. And I always think harlequin backgrounds look so artsy. This looks so artsy ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that your tags are always unique and you experiment so much. Loving the wirework on this in particular. Jenny x

ReplyDeleteGirl, I love that wire!! So unique and your texture is right on. One of those pieces I need to just stop and study for a while. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this one... Well, not too hard, I guess - have been struggling to keep up with visiting - but so glad to have a chance to catch up now - it's completely fabulous (as ever) - original, exciting - and the least cute use of cute ever (and I mean that absolutely as a compliment!).
