Here we are at week 28 of this challenge, cannot believe we have
all been on this journey that long. For all the details of this week's
challenge please go and see the lovely Linda. There have been
quite a few of the challenges where I do not have the main
ingredient or tool and have had to improvise, and this week was
one of those weeks. I did not have the required tool to do the
technique and so I improvised with a paint brush. It was a bit
fiddly to do and I think I may have ruined the brush!
I also used one of the Tim Holtz Sizzix texture fades to make the
background and boy do they emboss!! I need to use these more
often. The stamps I used were from a set by Wendy Vecchi which
has a lot of eyes and I really love the stamps. Again something
else I need to use more often.
I feel like I am behind this week as we spent part of the long
weekend trying to finish off the improvements in our laundry
room. My husband put down laminate flooring in there, will
do a little post about it soon.
I am looking forward to how easy it is going to be for me when I
want to get my paints and spray inks out and get all messy in there.
No more pulling out 5 boxes from the cupboard to get to the one
that I want, sounds like heaven :)

Great piece!
Terrific piece and loving your improvisation your tip has been a great help as I am in the same position as you and was wondering what to do. Thank you so much. Annette x
Hi Marlene, love your "eye" piece and I don't know how I missed your CCC#27 -- it is fabulous.
Love this, and honestly, I think that is my fave stamp from that particular set of Wendy's. You can do a lot with that. Great work, Marlene!
Wonderful piece! I love the eyes and your frame.
It's gorgeous Marlene! x

Wow, the eyes on your fragment are gorgeous, great piece.
WOW! The saying, the stamp, the background, everything contributes to the highlighting of the message!
LOVE this piece, Marlene! Very striking. And that's cool about your home improvement! Always nice when the project is done.
Marlene, this love this! You did an amazing job improvising-- I'd never have known you didn't have the specific tool, and you totally aced the technique! I love the pretty stamp you used, too, and that texture fade pattern is perfect!
Sounds like you've been very busy, and I'm glad you were able to make a little art time for yourself!
This is fabulous, your fragment is amazing.
