Hi, we have come to the last challenge from the book, Compendium of Curiosities by Tim Holtz this week and it has been such an adventure, trying out new techniques and making loads of new friends along the way who all have that sense of adventure. We have learn't from each other as well as Tim. Linda of StudioL3 has totally organised this event and has been with each and everyone of us every step of the way, always encouraging us and giving us such great support. An awesome job for just one woman and yes Linda you are totally awesome, thank you heaps and heaps. Loads of thanks also has to go to Gloria (Yahoo), Tim and Mario for some terrific prizes.
My piece is a combination of Challenge 34 (fragment) and Challenge 35 - Design Details. For once I followed instructions completely, well almost....... There is a bit of Tim, Linda and myself in this piece, wonder if you can guess which is which, no probably not, as it more than likely only makes sense to me..............lol This is going to be a box cover (once I have found a box the right size) to put all these various projects in.
Again there are some wonderful creations entered on Lindas Blog so if you get the chance to pop over you certainly won't be disappointed.
Am so happy my very first Drill thingy arrived today all in a splendid box with 102 accessories, heaven only knows what they are all for, its all double dutch to me and whats the Flexible Drive Shaft for.......dahhhhhhhhh Oh well sounds like another adventure coming on.......and maybe numerous visits to Casualty.........oops.
Thank you for all your encouragement with my adventures........whats it like following a Nutter - nah don't answer that.........lol Have a great evening and will catch up with you all later, Annette x

I hope you find a box soon to put you amazing creation on. A fantastic piece of work, Netty.
I am interested in your Drill thingy....what do you intend to do with it? Is it for metal work? Maybe you are going to start making jewellery or do some DIY.
( Surely not dentistry)
It sounds positively dangerous.
Have fun anyway and let us know what you make with it. Can't wait to see!!!
Sue xx

what a wonderfully gorgeous piece. I hope you don't spend too much time down A&E with your drill injuries as I love seeing your 'makes'!
I agree with you - these challenges have been so much fun and trying out new techniques has been very educational!!
Have a great weekend Annette
Netty you really went out with a bang with your final project, So many great techniques and Love all that went into your wonderful piece.
Have fun playing with your new toy. I'm sure you will find many uses for it. The flexibla shaft is for holding in your hand, much easier to use. I highly recommend it.
Enjoy !!!!!!!

Aaaah thats what the flexible shaft is for....thanks Lynn. Hugs Annette x

Netty, my darling, getting to know you has been one of my favorite things about the CCC! You are truly one of the kindest people in the world, not to mention one of the most talented crafters I've ever seen! Thanks for your kind words, and for being so awesome yourself!
I could look at your Grand Finale piece for hours-- it's just packed with wonderful elements and colors and techniques, and you tied it all together so wonderfully using the Design Details challenge. The Fragment is lovely, and the composition of this piece is masterful.
I bet the kitty cat represents me!!! ;-)
You got a Dremel?? Oh, girl, you're going to have SO MUCH FUN!
Thank you for being part of the CCC, and please-- PLEASE-- come back for the next leg of this journey. It wouldn't be nearly as wonderful without you.
Absolutely fantastic, Netty! I love every bit of it!
Netty... this is amazing... i love each and every detail..... awesome job !!!!
Wow. This is fabulous, Netty. I have so enjoyed seeing all your wonderful creative pieces throughout these challenges, and so appreciate your visits to see my offerings and your kind comments.
Looking forward to what comes next from Linda !
