IDEAOLOGY INTRIQUE WITH TIM

I spent last weekend in creative heaven in what was truly the Land of Ahhhhh's; Shawnee, KS!  I was one of those lucky ones who attended classes at Stampers Ink with The Duke of Distress....Tim Holtz!  Check out his blog for the story.
  There were four classes offered:  Creative Blocks, Patchwork Pandemonium, Ideaology Intrigue and Configurations of Your Imagination.
These are the projects from the four classes plus a couple of "bonus eye candy" that Tim brought along.  I had taken the Creative Blocks and Configurations of Your Imagination classes last October at Absolutely Everything in Topsfield, Massachusetts.

But, I have to say that Patchwork Pandemonium and Ideaology Intrigue have to be two of my favorites!  They were chalk FULL of technique and product! 

Tim advised us before we ever started Patchwork Pandemonium that we probably would not complete it in class...there is just so much technique involved.  He was absolutely right! About 99.9% of the class of 100 people did not finish.  But, we all managed to finish our backgrounds.  I still have some stitching and other things I want to do to the background and then I will finish with all of the embellishing.  But, I DID finish all of my Ideaology Intrigue pieces.
There were six pieces in all.  This is the pocket watch, the ring, a sweet faux porcelain flower pin and a charm bracelet.
This is the necklace and the bird's nest pendant.  Six pieces in all....so unique and amazingly beautiful.  I think my favorites are:
  the pocket watch
and the bird's nest pendant...although I LOVE them all!!

Mario, Joy and Michelle were the ones who kitted up ALL of the product used in these classes and trust me....there was a TON of stuff to kit up.  So, a huge thank you to them!  The hundreds of people who took the classes were the beneficiaries of YOUR hard work.  And a very special "thank you" to Tim.  He is such an artist, visionary, creative mind and incredible teacher.  He continues to inspire me to "embrace the imperfections" and completely ENJOY this creative journey!
