n the afternoon I made some ACEOs. They have been made from small pieces of marbled paper, left over from other ventures after my last marbling session. I still have more, but they will be used for die-cuts and inchies.
In addition I made one tag, to replace one of those which got *washed away* on Sunday! I think the frog prince seems to be a dedicated follower of fashion! I am entering this into Rebecca's *Blog Challenge Garden*, where you have to make a tag in 10 minutes - this one took less!
While I was blog-hopping, I visited *Crystal Clear*. Crystal is not only a talented artist, but also writes great posts, which are often very funny. And now she has started a new feature, where she introduces 5 others from time to time, and much to my surprise, I found myself on her list yesterday. It really is great to have such a good contact to so many blogging friends all over the world; this is something we can all be thankful for. For me, it is very important, as I have no contact to any of my family, and spend a lot of time on my own. I think my life would be sad without all of you, and the possibility to be creative.
And while watching TV in the evening I reduced a cardboard box to 22 tags, which I peeled and distressed ready for use, a very relaxing occupation!
Have a great day, Take care, and thanks a lot for dropping in!
UPDATE!

Good Morning Valerie. Hope your mouth is not to sore today. Great little CEO's :o). Love the frog price card. I keep looking down, however, there is nothing there! Congrats on being mentioned on Crystal Clear .. make room ... your house will be full to the brim today! hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteDonna, if that frog turns up at your place DON'T kiss it - talking frogs are much more valuable than princes these days!

Super little marbled ACEOs (I had to google what those initials stood for, Lol! - you teach me something new every day Valerie!). Great tag, even though that frog is being a bit cheeky! Love what you've done with the dress form. Have a happy day. Suze xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your marbled ACEOs- they look so beautiful and surreal....just gorgeous! And that tag is wonderful too, I've been seeing re purposed cardboard popping up everywhere; and I'm starting to feel the need to play with it :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm glad you got the first part done with at the dentist....just keep thinking that you're progressing your way along, and soon enough it will be behind you!
Hugs,
Stephanie

ReplyDeleteRegards Florence x
Good Morning...love your new ACEO's! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie. Oh those darn dentists are just too expensive as is everything these day and it looks as things will continue to rise. Love your tag and and your aceos are fantastic!! The more I look at them, the more I am reminded of roots....get it?? roots??? tee hee. In this case they are beautiful roots coming out of the earth, not a drill going into the roots. :))) Take care. Have a great rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteValerie, your tiny ACEOs are beautiful. Love the colors from the marbling.
ReplyDeleteWith the root canal finished, you should start to feel a lot better in a few days. The pain doesn't go away as quickly as we would like but in time all will be well.
GREAT TAG,too.

ReplyDeleteNo clue what ACEOs are but whatever they are they are fabulous, little mini abstract paintings gorgeous and dynamic. Love your frog maybe its a girl and is wishing she could wear the lovely dress. You amaze me how you can do two things at once, How can you watch tv and make tags `i can't even do it without the tV !!!!
