This is most definitely work in progress, the next stage of our journey exploring the techniques in Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosities Volume 2.
Linda over at Studio L3 has directed us for Challenges 11 and 12 to pages 33 and 34 of the book.
Mario has given a fantastic prize for this challenge as well.
As you can see, its nowhere near finished, but Linda said this would be okay as its the techniques that are important not the details of what we add. As always we cannot say what we did, just guide you to the pages we used.
The only thing I realy would like to know is how do you get the tissue tape to stick down?
Mine was not playing ball.
I may not get to visit all my blog friends in the next few days, I look forward to visiting with you all later.
Thank you for taking time to take a look, your comments are appreciated.
Lovely piece! When I made one of these last year the ends of the tissue tape kept coming unstuck, so I used a bit of glue stick, and smoothed the ends down till they really stuck! Valerie
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting project Yvonne I love all the artefacts in their niches:) Don't know anything about tissue tape I'm afraid.

never done one of these Yvonne, your looks like its coming along really well, I bet they take some filling, looking forward to seeing it when you have completed it
ReplyDeletehugs and best wishes
At least you have made a start and its looking great. My box is still packaged up and its been a year like that.......
ReplyDeleteThe only suggestion I can make Yvonne about the tape is.....have you tried Modge Podge Matt......it will also act both as a glu and as protection. Annette x
Wow Meggymay! Already you can see the incredible depth that this is going to have. Can't wait to see the finished project, it is going to be amazing...

Oh I so wanted an old car to add to mine! This is so fun and I can't wait to see the completed project! Love this! It does take time and I kept adding and thought I might not finish!
ReplyDeleteOuu! Awesome! I love your box so far! Bet it'll blow my socks off when you're finished!
ReplyDeleteI use a bit of mod podge, glue-n-seal or Aleen's quick dry tacky glue to cope with the tape when it won't behave!
What a beautiful piece this is already with interesting things to look at.
ReplyDeleteHope you solve your tape dilemma.
Love Chrissie xx
I think your box looks great the way it is!! I have never played with Tim's configurations boxes yet, but it looks fun!
