Creative Chemistry 101–Day 3 Tags

I have to start off by saying that Tim Holtz’ Creative Chemistry class was so interesting.  If you have the time, I highly recommend checking the class out.
 
I’ve been pretty much on the sidelines this week – mostly because I was waiting for supplies to arrive in the mail (yes, hard to believe that I need more supplies).  But then when they did show up, I had other stuff going on and couldn’t sit down to play.
 
Tonight, I thought I would share the tags taught on Day 3 of class.  I actually was only able to complete two because the third technique uses Tim’s “Reflections” stamps - which I don’t own.  But the other two techniques were pretty cool.

The first technique is called “Alcohol Ink Agates” and the second technique is called “Archival Resist”.  I really love how working on these tags pushes me out of my comfort zone.  I am usually very methodical and “calculating” in my crafting.  But with these techniques, you just kind of “throw” ink on the paper any which way.  And it is pretty amazing at what comes out of it.

I plan to work on catching up on some of the other techniques/days of class over the weekend.  So I should have more to share soon.
