Hi, my husband has gone to Belguim for the day - Woo Hoo - so can catch up with some crafting, brill.
The lovely Linda from StudioL3 has give us Page 53 from the Compendium of Curiosities - Alcohol Ink Agate on Grunge!! So I turned to Page 53 and Tim Holtz says you can apply this technique to Wood or Fabric as well..............mmmmmm, so being a bit naughty I wanted to try it on Wood. I altered a Childrens Wooden Book Page with this technique, what do you think, is it OK? Have shown it in its original state so you can see the difference.
There are some wonderful examples over at StudioL3 by some fabulous crafters so please go and have a look, you will be amazed.
Am also entering this in the Stampmans Fortnightly Challenge 6 - Altered
Thank you for popping by today and for all your support and encouragement. Enjoy the weekend. Have to go and get some more crafting done, but will be back to check out your great blogs later. Take care, Annette x

Beautiful work through color and imagery. A lovely antique feel and appearance!
It is far more than OK! It's fantastic.
Netty, when I first saw this on my blog list with the cat face, I was wondering what you were up to. You are not naughty at all and I love the look you achieved on wood. The image and colors are gorgeous. It is more than ok!! Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful; looks great on wood will have to try!

A brilliant piece of artwork and a stunning transformation x Hilda
Hi Netty, what a great transformation, the technique works beautifully and I love the image too. Snap my husband is going to Belgium Monday and Tuesday. Have a good evening, Tracy Evans x
Love your background colours, great job with the technique. The book page definitely looks much better now!
Oh, this is gorgeous, Annette!
Annette, it's so very pretty. I'd never believe that had been a cat page first!
Omigosh, Netty! This piece is so dramatic! First of all, I love the color you've chosen.....and that image is so perfect for it! It's beautiful!
By the way...I heat-embossed on my piece because I stamped with StazOn when the piece was still a little damp! Once it dried completely, I added the gold stamping and embossing so the leaves would show up! ;-)
Just stunning Annette, I love it, such beautiful colours and a fabulous stamp.
Great job.

Noooooo just spent ages typing and the flippoing word verifacition went stupid, come on missus turn it off lol.
Where was I!
Stunning Nettie, I love it. I'm sure you won't thank me if I keep telling you how talented you are cos your head won't fit through the door, but I'll tell you what my mad friend......... you are soooooo talented lol
hugs Mandy xx
What a great idea - it's worked really well and looks very effective! x
oh wow netty!! this is absolutely stunning!!!!the colurs are so striking and a beautiful image :)
xx coops xx
This is absolutely terrific!! Now you make me want to get the book and see how you made this great piece! It's awesome, Netty!
Turned out fantastic, Netty. I'm still trying to figure out what to do. I thought I packed grungeboard and I can't find it, I can't find a piece of wood or fabric to use either. I may be stuck just looking this week. And you're right, there's some fab stuff.
Beautiful. You amaze me. So very creative. Some reason you are not showing up on my dashboard; I have not forgotten you. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Naughty on wood, too funny! This is gorgeous, but I bet it's even more so in person, I found this technique hard to photograph because of the shimmer. Really beautiful Netty!
Is it okay? Nope. It's FABULOUS! Netty, what a great idea to transform that wooden book page into this gorgeous, dreamy wall art! You mastered the AI Agate technique-- the background you created truly does look like precious stone. The image is gorgeous and so perfect for the lovely colors, and even the little hanging chain is elegant.
Great job, honey. I love this!
Ooooh Nettie! Is it OK?? It's absolutely fab-u-lous!
What a brilliant crafter you are!!
Hugs
