I’ve only ever taken one art class as an adult and the instructor was none other than Tim Holtz. I just find him to have such great talent and he sees things so differently. One of the things that we didn’t use in our class was any adhesive of any kind. Everything was put together w/ wire or brads or eyelets. At first I thought, huh? How the heck are we supposed to do this??? But surprisingly everything came together rather easily. I now have a new love for wires and eyelets, I even broke down and bought one of the Cropadiles that I balked at when they first came out. (of course now they have a long reach one which is the reason I balked at it in the first place, figures!)
So this weeks challenge is for you to put away the glues and tapes and pull out other ways of fastening things together. Try to really think outside the box for this one, because this one might be easy for you to stay IN your box by just creating a layered card by using brads/eyelets on it to hold your layers in place. I want to see you get your art wire out, clips, safety pins, sewing machine, eyelets and brads and put them to good use!
This was a very easy challenge for me as I had set the same one only a week or so ago.
Thanks for having a look

I really liked this challenge, even though I was limited to what I could find at work(because that’s where I made my collage), I really like how the paper clips look. My entry can be seen at http://pandoras-artbox.blogspot.com/2008/02/tuesdays-daily-artchallenge.html
Thank you for looking!
