Compendium of Curiosities - week 2

There's a challenge going on over at Studio L3, where each week they give you a page from Tim's book to interpret and create a piece of art based on that page.  I didn't get time to try last week's but wanted to have a go this week.

This week it's to use fragments, and this is the tag (for a change!) I did.

I used spun sugar and victorian velvet distress inks, some Tim stamps and the fragment - I stuck a piece of paper - Tim's paper stack - also coloured with vic velv - to the fragment and used the leftover at the top of the tag.  I also sprayed with some reinker/perfect pearl for some shimmer.

I coloured a petaloo flower with vic velv ink and overstamped a Hero "Art" dictionary stamp on the flower.  I used an idea-ology pin to secure the flower through the hole of the fragment and it's just about stuck to the back of the fragment and clinging on to the tag!!

I tried to get a close up of the fragment but couldn't turn the flash off and this is the best I could get without bleaching everything out!    There is a prize on offer too, so if you have the book, give it a go.
