CC #8 The Secret Garden



"I feel good...nah nah nah nah nah na...you know the way that I should....so good... Whoo!" Ok, that's just a little James Brown for ya cause I feel all better and ready to rock the studio again. I have the best kinesiologist/chiropractor in the world...seriously. He's kept me walking and moving for years and I dedicate this weeks post to Doctor B. ! Not only do we laugh way too hard sometimes but he lets me take pictures of his amazing tie collection for inspiration. :)

Anyway...I had so much fun making this piece from Linda's Compendium Of Curiosities challenge today. I usually do it on Monday but Thursday it is. You should read TH's book..page 39 and have some fun. It involves ink and grunge. What's not to love? And I did a bit of organizing. I made labels for each ink I used and a chart of how they look on grunge too. I'm just too proud of myself tonight for getting a bit of organizing in with the fun stuff......LOL!

Nan, I'm so happy you're feeling better, and so LOVING that tag you made! What a sweet little garden for that darling kitty to play in! Your inked grunge looks wonderful (fabulous textures!) and this entire design is just gorgeous!

Great labeling system, too! Thanks for sharing such a good idea. :-)

I love your secret garden. The flowers are fantastic! I organize when I can't create and then when my muse returns I mess it all up again. Thank you for visiting my blog and for your kind words. Your dresses are very cool! 3 cheers for Dr.B!

I love your assortment of flowers, really funky and colourful too!

Those distress inks are much easier to use now aren't they.

Glad you're feeling much better too!
