Another week gone by and another lesson at StudioL3 for the Compendium Of Curiosities challenge......hurray...love this one. Thanks Linda! This was a lesson in making fragments look old. You can get a copy of Tim's book and play along. It has been so much fun. I used many inks and several little watch parts on this piece. You may be able to see them if you look closely. I got a bag of them on Etsy and it did say the biggest ones were 3/16" ! I realize I am ancient now because I can't see anything tiny anymore....getting old is not for sissies as my dad used to say!

Nan - love the stamps you used & the tape & how it all fit in the little house!!! Yep those watch parts keep shrinking don't they???
Nan - if this comes up twice its cause I thought I commented before!!! Any who -love the combo of stamps & tape you used on the house. And yes, those darn watch parts are shrinking!!!!
Oh I love this Nan! Great colors, great images, great embellishments. I am really enjoying this and each week seems to get better!
Love, Love your piece! I also got a decent size baggie of watch parts and I know only so well what you mean about the eyes! Wonderful challenge piece!
Nan, this rocks! I love the little house you built, and all those rich colors and cool little gears and stamped images are the perfect accompaniments to your fabulous Fragment! That little photo is so cute. ♥
I hear ya, regarding the inability to see small objects, and it's so frustrating! It seems like it happened overnight, too. Suddenly, I'm shopping for magnifying desk lamps. What's next? Prune juice, no doubt.. ;-)
This is so lovely - what amazing stamps you have used, they look gorgeous. Yes, these are fun to work with!
Gorgeous tag Nan, love your design!
What a great tag! I love your colors, stamps, fragment! Everything!
Your tag is very cool, I love the house theme. I've been imagining some different house tags too, but have not attempted them yet. There's plenty of time you just never know.
Nan I'm so glad I increased the size to see your your Wonderful details! Great house collage! You rocked this one!
What a cool idea to shape it like a house! Love the colors, too! Well done!
This is fab Nan, I love your house shape and those tiny watch parts - I had to look really closely to find them, so I guess I'm having the same problem as you x
It's such a cool technique and I love what you've done with it too.
This is gorgeous Nan, love it all, such a brilliantly interesting tag. Annette x
Hi Nan, I love your tag. The fragment really does look very old. I hope to jump in some time this week and have some T!m Holtz fun with you all. P.S. your dad is so right about the "No sissies in old age"---Only the tough apply!
Love your house and the fact that you have used watch parts, great idea. Love the stamps too. Tracy x
Ooooh, I love this!! Gorgeous collage, beautiful fragment for the challenge, and those watch parts look fab on there (a teeny touch of steampunk :)). Beautifully done!
its goegeous, so much detail to look at.
What a great composition. Love the bicycle stamp!
I love everything about this piece from the stamping to the overall shape to the mini gears. Fantabulous!
Hi Jan,
Oh, this is awesome! I wanted to tell you that I've got an announcement on my blog and a once-a-month link party in which you could link up any piece of your art. (It can even be something that you have posted before...it's just a way for people to share the joy of "art-ing!"
Hugs,
Cindy
