Altered Metal with Paint
Sponsored by All Things Tim!
Happy nearly February, CCCers! I hope you've all had a wonderful week, and that you've had a chance to relax and create and spend time with the ones you love.
I've had a lot of sweet emails and comments wondering what's going to happen when the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge concludes in a few weeks. Without giving anything away quite yet, I'll just tell you that the end is NOT the end (that either sounds really Jedi, or really lame...I'm not sure which!). Stay tuned for more info as Challenge #35 (the final CCC) gets closer. ;-)
Right now, though, we're on lucky number 30! Are you ready to roll? Please open your Compendium of Curiosities to page 48, and let's put the paint to the metal!
If you've participated in the CCC before, you know that Gloria, who hosts the awesome All Things Tim group over at Yahoo, has been here every single week, generously sending a prize from her personal stash to a lucky participant. This week, Gloria asked if All Things Tim could be the main sponsor of Challenge 30, and I couldn't be more delighted or honored!
Gloria pours her heart and soul into the All Things Tim group, and is one of the most supportive and kind people in the crafting universe. She's been a wonderful friend to me and an incredible List Mom for the group. If you're not a member over there yet, please join! It's a genuinely wonderful way to meet other Tim fans, share ideas and learn so much cool stuff!
Gloria is going to send a spectacular MYSTERY PRIZE PACKAGE to the lucky winner of CCC #30! I can't tell you what's in it, but I can tell you it's going to be fabulous! To be eligible to win, simply create your own art using the Altered Metal with Paint technique and link it to this blog via the InLinkz button at the bottom of this post. You're in the running as long as you honor these two simple rules:
1. Follow the technique as it's written in A Compendium of Curiosities (adding your own special flair, of course!); and
2. Out of respect to Tim, please don't post the technique instructions on your blog!
I hope you all have a magnificent week, and that February brings you all kinds of good stuff! I think it's going to be a great month, don't you?
Hugs,
Linda

This is a beautiful piece, Linda. I love the bold colors. You did a great job, but then you always do. :) Theresa
Linda: I'm also happy to hear that the challenges will continue....I really enjoy doing them!
One would tend to think that metal is "masculine", but you've shown with your valentine that a lot of metal can be feminine too. Love those heart stick pins.
