Happy September everyone! Time is sure flying by this year. Anyway, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Tim Holtz event at The Crafty Scrapper in July, and Carolyn, the owner, asked me to help her and her manager, Gena, to make some numbered paddles for customers to shop while attending classes. I made 16 of the 43, and used techniques from Tim's Compendium of Curiosities series. Here they are. Also, if you would like to see the others that Gena and Carolyn made, click on over to The Crafty Scrapper. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy!
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
Stunning paddles! love this idea! Barbara
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, they're all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI am not at all surprised that those who attended gave you compliments Anita - these paddles are fabulous!! They really do showcase all the wonderful stamps, dies, inks and paints that Tim does - and your talent of course!! Anne xx
ReplyDeleteThese are cool! I still regret not stopping by Waxahachie to meet you, Tim and Mario. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteawesome X 16!
ReplyDeleteLove your style!!
ReplyDeleteOooh..that #7 did some much damage..LOL!..AWESOME paddles... =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection, love the idea too, - each one is a real stunner!!
ReplyDeleteLove your paddles! The Crafty Scrapper is going to have a problem. Everyone is going to want to keep their paddle. I guess you will have to make more. Great job!
ReplyDeleteDarling idea, Anita! I love all of them! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSeriously cool! So many different styles and techniques - I'd've been fighting over which paddle was mine to wave for the day! I would have been after the unicycling man I think, or the glamorous woman on the beach, or the fab industrial one, or the amazing postage stamp. Hmmm... clearly I'd have been delighted with any of them, really!
