Hi, dear Linda of StudioL3 who is running Compendium of Curiosities has given us page 57, Colourful Layered Fragment........whoopee I said, I have a fragment (of sorts) yay then turned to the page..........oh no, haven't got the other requirement, but with a bit of nosing around the other entries I found another way of doing it.........tried it...........result utter mess, so cleaned it all off and started again and again and again......ooh am so fed up by now........then I thought I would try something else just in case it would work.........well it did, but trouble is I only had one colour.........so dropped a bit of gold in and by accident it also went onto my dragonfly. This is obviously Not the way to do it, but you can see the gorgeous effects of some the others over at Studio L3. I also had a tea bag left over from the Gingersnappers Tea Bag Template Challenge so used this as well, plus a spare small book cover; so put it all together and this is it........lol
Frustrated with it all decided to use a couple of the alcohol inks on a spare kitchen tile and see what happened.........wow am really pleased with this, such a great effect and wanted to show you in case you had thought about having a go. I saw this first on A Penny for Your Thoughts - Penny Benningtons Blog, oh wow she creates some fab things. If you have these sort of inks and a spare tile have a go, its such fun.
Sorry this is a long post but had so much to tell you. Have a great weekend whatever you are doing and take care, Annette x

What a brilliant work, Netty! Really fantastic!
Have a nice weekend my dear!
Your tile is fantastic Netty and I love your card. It seems to me as a non stamper you have to have so many things, elements, inks etc. to do these challenges.It must cost you a fortune. Hugs xx
Your tile Annette is just amazing I love the colour and how it has all blended in.xxx
I don't have CofC so I've no idea what it's supposed to look like, but this looks lovely to me!
We all have craft moments like the ones you had. You turned the event into something wonderful though..Your tile is so lovely. I think sometimes it's all about having a creative mind and letting the magic happen as it will. You certainly did.
Love your fragment! The gold splash onthe dragonfly works so well; I love when accidents are happy ones.
Have not had time to explore the alternative methods thought I'd have to try to get a pen tomorrow. Love your total messes just wish mine were half as good. The tile is great as well AI is great on so many surfaces XOXO Zoe
This was a technique I couldn't get to grips with at all... but I love your tile. Are you going to leave it like that, or (I am sure you will) turn it into something fabulous?!
wow what a lovely piece x
Netty what a beautiful card and very striking with the inky boarder you have chosen I was almost there with mine but hit the same problem oh wht to do? Now what will you do with your beautiful tile?
Love Dawn xx
Well, you always seem to make something really good out of your catasrophes, love these two creations!!
This looks great...wonderful colors too.
These are both just fabulous Netty and your tile came out so well too. The card is gorgeous and the dragonfly looks as if it was meant to be like that.
Hooray for serendipity!
Hope you're having a good weekend too.

I love your fragment project - its so beautiful!
I don't think I'll be entering this week as I dont have any fragments unless I quickly come up with a substitute!?!
Its a smashing fragment piece. I love how the tile worked as well. xx
What beautiful colours. Love it. Have a good weekend. Kathleen x
Totally fabulous outcome, Annette!
Whatever your way of getting there Annette - it turned out beautiful!
this is freaking fantastic netty x
Oh wow, this is gorgeous! Fantastic job! If I were only so talented! Great tile piece too!
Pam
Gorgeous work Nettie, love that tile, must have a go at that! Your card is gorgeous too - love the border.
Hugs, Donna x
Your card is gorgeous! I really admire you that you kept trying, I would probably have not:) Love the tile too!
Fab piece - love all the distressing - great way to use that Tea Bag - maybe I'll go did mine out of the trash! Love the alcohol ink tile - fab colors
Sorry you had such a hard time, know how that feels, but your result is wonderful. I've been thinking of dragonflies a lot lately also.
Netty it looks so cool and what you did with your tile is beautiful, Penny's tutorial is just awesome. I had a go myself a while back.
Netty, the art with the dragonfly is really a WOW! It has so many areas that I find fascinating. Even the fringy look to the edges. I'd love to know how to do that but it's probably one of the C of C secrets.
Your beautiful tile gives me an idea for next year's gifts for my Bible study ladies. I could make trivets for them with the alcohol ink on tiles from Lowes. Put little felt feet and they'd be gorgeous. Now to dream up how to seal them so AI didn't rub off (or will it?).
These are both beautiful, I love what you have done with that tile.

Fantastic Netty and I know how this technique can be LOL! Love what you came up with it's so beautiful and I love your tile too, two for one :D. Hugs, Chris x
You alway make me smile. I just love reading about your art adventures.. Another wonderful work of art here my friend..
Hugs, Linda
Faye asked about sealing the tile. Apparently Diamond Glaze is good for this. When my tile is finished this is what I shall use.
The edging of the book page is edged with Black Paint Dabber - just swiping it will create this effect.
Hope this info is useful. You can always email me, am always happy to answer questions where I can.

I wish I had some of your adventurous genes Annette. Love your work (as you might know) and this is no exception. Fab!!

Fantastic as always Netty! xx Jenny xx
I think it is just gorgeous! What colors!
Thanks for the answers about the fringy edges and about sealing the tiles.
Netty,
Your tile is just beautiful!
Love the edges on that card, and your tile for the tech turned out stellar, I think! The kitchen tile looks grand, too!
I love your Fragment tag! I'm horrible at using AI's, they always go wrong in some way for me. Your card is so striking - I love it!
haha, i always love to read about your "makings"... and the result is just beautiful!
If I had all the time in the world I would most likely spend a substantial amount of it just staring at your work - stunning!!
Hugs
Annika

Netty, I absolutely LOVE how this turned out! Your improvisation paid off hugely with a beautiful, sweet Fragment on a STUNNING card! Wow, the dragonfly is magnificent, too!
I love that tile, and I really need to give that a try! Thanks for the reminder!
It turned out beautifully. Love the tile too.
