I took time out this week to take part in Linda's great weekly challenge, and travelled down the road of Tim's Compendium of Curiosities to page 66! Multi-medium Collage technique. I am not allowed to tell you how I made this, as those are the rules...but suffice it to say I used a tag, lots of Studio multi medium, two Wendy Vecchi stamps borrowed from Hels, some of my collage stamps which are on sale right now in the shop, and lots of idea-ology. I did distress ink in Chipped Sapphire, and Forest Gump! lol... and used pages from a Gazetteer which are thin and perfect for this technique.. all I can say is the thinner the paper the better.
I have to say I really have absolutely no idea where I was going with this piece, but it seems to be travel based, kind of...lol postcards, stamps, old maps, and an 8 and a half!!! On reflection I should have done a 66, but it makes life interesting, so give me the best reason for the 8 1/2 and I will send you the tag :)....answers in the comments or on a postcard!!
May creativity be with you today :)))
Hugs

Your tag is wonderful!!! 8 1/2 is the apartment number of that someone special that was met whilest traveling to fabulous places :-))
I thought of a platform (like as in Harry Potter) in a old train station.
Great tag.
This is really superb, Jennie! Love everything about it! 8 1/2 'cause it's 8 1/2 miles to the next ice cream shop! lol
Gorgeous tag!
Loving the assemblage of this tag Jennie :)
A great tag in perfect Tim Style, hummm is the 8 1/2 your shoe size? sounds like a good reason to me! Fab tag!
Was it the platform for the Hogwarts Express?! Actually I think that was 9 3/4! Anyway, this is a fab tag Jennie! Ha ha - just read Cath's comment - great minds! x
Maybe 8 1/2 are the number of hours that Hels let you borrow her Wendy Vecchi stamps!!
The tag would have taken me that long to make!
Luv Joanne xx
Smashing tag Jennie, 8 and a half, no idea unless its the different bits and pieces you added to this tag. Nah.........course its not...lol Annette x
Love it Jennie, the colours and everything. I too thought of Harry Potter.
Very, very nice Jennie. Fantastic tag !!
Jennie, I'm so excited to see you! Fan-TABULOUS tag you've made, sweet lady!
I love all the cool ephemera you used, and your Multi-Medium numbers are perfection. The way you inked them, they look limestone-aged-- what a great effect! And of course, your collage stamps are awesome!
I love your style!
BEAUTIFUL tag, Jennie!! Love it!
Lovely tag and I really like the blended colours in the background and the numbers, I really need to get some metal numbers. I always want something. Have a great day, Tracy Evans x
cool tag hun :O))
Loverly tag! 8 1/2 is a wonderful age...you get to do pretty much as you want, you are unopiniated, your art style is starting to take shape. What's not to love about 8 1/2??? LOL
8 1/2 - Anniversary? Wonderful collaged tag! The colors are fabulous, just love it!
Hello Jennie,
Nice tag : nice flowers on the background !
8 1/2... me too thought immediately of Harry Potter ( means we crafters have a lot of fantasy...), but maybe you have your secret room on the 8 1/2 floor where you create your stamps....This must be a magical room !
greetings from belgium

Ooo yes I likey alot Jennie, love how everything just blends together beautifully. Were you & Hels secretly watching 8 mile by Eminem and just decided to add another 1/2 for good measure lol x
well, i'd say 8 1/2 on a scale of 1to 10, but that just wouldn't do this little beauty of a tag any justice. 8 1/2 hours I'm stuck at work when I want to be home playing with paper and ink!!
this tag is gorgeous. and 8 and a half is the fellini film. it involves dreams and fantasies (see here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056801/) and you were just subconsciously channeling that... xo.
