...Morning Stampers, first of all, thank you to everyone who joined in with the challenge last week... so many divine works of art to see on my "hops". This week the song title has been inspired by my love of the 1980's and a new radio station I have found on DAB called Absolute 80's - and it literally is all 80's music... FAB or what?!
So.. the theme this week is to use something Ripped or Torn on your artwork. To join in is simples - make a piece of art and blog it, leave me a comment here with a link to the place you are showing your art and I can hop over to see you. The challenge is open until 22:00 Saturday May 29th (blimey, who fast forwarded May already???)
Now, my entry this week is a really quick piece... Let me say THANK YOU to everyone for your lovely comments and support about my "injection" - let's just say, it hurt A LOT... and once it was over and done with I had a bit of a giddy spell and ended up having to have some Oxygen 'cos my Sats had drops to 75% - not good at all! I think it was the combo of having a socking great canula in my arm with a saline drip and the fact that I was 100% awake for the epidurals.... note I used the plural... I had four in total but thankfully the lovely Dr used just one big needle instead of four smaller ones. There was a bit of a problem getting the needle in - I have scar tissue there cos of my op from years ago and she was having trouble getting the needle into the place it needed to go - anyways... all is well apart from the soreness, which will pass.. BUT.. I have had a reaction to whatever was injected and spent most of Saturday in bed, feeling very yukky and very sorry for myself *pauses for the sympathy to come rolling in* However, I have dragged myself from me sick bed and made a little hangy piece for the Sunday Stamper :O)
I used an old book, Distress Inks, Tim's Floral Alterations and a bit of Idea-ology to make it.. added some wire for the hangy bit and that is it really... a really quicky piece. The flower is just loads of the spikey one, coloured and layered up and then a brad thingy popped into the middle... Maybe I will feel better today and be able to make something else... in the meantime... THANK YOU all again, you have been so lovely and sent me lovely messages and left sweet comments, it has made it a whole lot better for me... TTFN

Ooooh Hels, that doesn't sound nice (typical English understatement) at all! Glad it's over for you and hope it's of real benefit.
Love the hangy thing. Gorgeous colour and love the flower and all the old book pieces.

what a fantastic piece of art Hels and Mark could of told you about that radio station as he listens to it all the time and drives me nuts in the process LOL back to the art its a great colour and love how its all pit together and I really really hope that the injection works xx
Are you sure we weren't split up at birth??? I listen to the 80's station on the XM radio (satellite) here all the time, I love it. That and Hair Nation, which is all the big hair bands from the 80's (hard rock). Love it. Speaking of love, I simply adore this hangy piece, I think the colors are fab, and the spiky flower is totally rad! Rad is an American 80's term, not sure if it was used over there! Glad you made it thru your procedure, hopefully things are getting better!
Inky fingers crossed that the injections do what there s'posed to do, glad you made it into your craft room, i love seeing your art, and this piece is no exception x big hugs x

Well if that's made when you feel yakky your other pieces must have been made by someone else 'cos I can't tell the difference. Everything you create is fantastic to me. Take it easy and get well soon. Luv Joanne xxx
