Week No. 19 - Extreme Masking and Breast Cancer Stuff

First, in case you hadn't heard, I was the winner of Week No. 17 over at the All Things Tim yahoo group!  Yep, the moderator "mom" Gloria chose my necklace as the winning entry.  Now how cool is THAT?!  I was just tickled when I read that I had won for something that I am so obsessed with making *smiles*.  

Ok, so on to CCC #19.  If you would like to play along, turn to page 61 in your Compendium of Curiosities book.  And click HERE to get over to Studio L3 for more information on the challenge.  Just remember that you are NOT to post the technique instructions on your blog ok?  


What you ARE encouraged to do is include a link to Tim's website where your followers, blog lurkers, etc. can purchase one of his autographed books of their very OWN!  


Here's my entry for this week's challenge:

I used the following colors of Distress Inks:  Dusty Concord, Forest Moss, Bundled Sage, Crushed Olive, Faded Jeans, Broken China and Stormy Sky. 

And this was not part of the technique, but I also added a thick layer of Glossy Accents to my bird (it's still drying) to give the tag dimension . . .

Update on Breast cancer stuff:  

Bone density test Tuesday.  
Wednesday I'm going to my first support group meeting. Didn't think I would need a support group, but what did I know?!

And I just found out that my God Child's mother (who is also one of my bff's) has breast cancer - again!  Adrie had breast cancer years ago when she was living here in the States.  She is "back home" in Chalfont St. Peters in the U.K. now.  Well, cancer has hit the remaining breast and she just had surgery this past week and is now home recovering.  I tell you, this breast cancer thing is just a bitch isn't it?! *urrrrgh*


The rain is back in Southern California.  It's nice to be inside looking out :)  Have an art-filled day today!
