I've been playing along with the Tim Holtz Tags for 1 whole year now! That was my new year's resolution last year, to create something every month and I was able to do it. It was tough to find time sometimes, but it was a fun adventure!
This year my artistic new years resolution is to complete all the tags from the Tim Holtz Chemestry 102 course. I'm on my way, but still have the dreaded "alcohol ink" section to go. Alchohol inks are still a mystery to me so I will tackle the lessons as soon as my order of alcohol inks arrive. I have some alcohol ink pens and I'm still trying to figure out how they work.
Here is my January 2014 tag.
As I go back to work tomorrow, I look forward this year to finishing up my many software "inventions" at work, and moving on to new work projects. I also look forward to creating many 2014 art projects just for fun.
A Happy New Year to everyone! Thanks for being my creative teachers and
idea people this past year! You have become my creative brothers and
sisters related by our common love of the creative arts! We all have similar glue,
paint, ink, and dye under our fingernails and we all have similar massive stashes of craft
supplies stashed in little containers all over the place!!! I love that
about us! You are my people!
Here are some photos I took of my little people!
New baby as yoda in the hat I crocheted for him. (He has a baby star wars room)
New baby in the Christmas outfit I crocheted for him.
...He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

New grand-puppy "Punkin" the toy poodle. She's very small, about the size of a guinea pig, and moves fast so I will probably never be able to capture a photo of her that's in focus!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your creation and your little people. I like your large gear improvisation for this one-its also like a giant sun. Rebecca is right- your tag has nice presence. Don't be scared of the alcohol inks- they are loads of fun. You're in good hands with Tim's Creative Chemistry classes. I did them last year. This is my first year for "Tags of…". Look forward to seeing your creations throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteI love your tag! The embellishments are really nice and draw your eye in right away. Your grand-baby is so precious! God Bless! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Vic: Thanks for the nice comment you left on my blog for my Jan. Tim tag. I really like all your embellishments, particularly the ones at the bottom with the lightbulb. Like me, you had to improvise with the timepiece and you did a very nice job!
ReplyDeleteI also want to say I just LOVE the pics of your new grandson with the crocheted hat and stocking - how sweet. You are very talented in the hobby department!
Love the colors you used on your tag and the unique touches that add so much personality. Nice tag!
ReplyDeleteAdorable the Yoda hat is. As is the tag!
ReplyDeleteThat Yoda hat might be the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh. And I love your take on the tag too!
