Today I am sharing two more of my masks, one in cool blues and greens, the other in warm shades of orange and red. I love painting these faces, divided up into so many colour splashes, and every now and then I just get the urge to paint things in this style, so I do it!
And I made some more tags yesterday. The first one is for the *Spoon challenge* at *Blog Challenge Garden* where you need to make a tag with a spoon - a real one or a picture of one. I have used a spoon which I altered – and blogged – at the end of April. I have mounted it onto a tag, made from the packaging of some Prima flowers, it is a nice weight of cardstock and will not collapse when I put the spoon onto it. I just added a few floral rub-ons. The spoon shows an image of a distant relation taken back in 1916. The spoon is from my cutlery drawer, there are still way to many flying about there that never get used, so one by one they will be transformed....Watch this space!
And the two blue tags seem to be a hangover from the day before, they are just for fun.
That was it for today. Thanks for visiting, have a great day and take care!
Those masks are looking at me Valerie so I had to scroll down quickly to get to the tags! Lol. The altered teaspoon is so pretty. Have a great Friday. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your masks Valerie, great work as always, have a smashing PPF.
ReplyDeleteLoving all your other makes as well busy lady.... Annette x
I was thinking of tossing our old disgusting spoons... no longer, love the way you have given new life to the spoon & actually, all of this is fantastic :) Now I want to be invited over for that next bottle of fizzy wine LOL!
ReplyDeleteNo problem Sunshine, you can sleep on the couch afterwards! And it is amazing what you can do with the shabby old spoons which are not really ususable any more...
ReplyDeleteAgree .. let's have a fizzy wine party ... perhaps we would all sleep. Such a novel thought! But I digress ... great masks - still think they belong on the front of live theatre programs .. very dramatic and wonderful. Altered spoons -- I've only seen this done once before. Love the concept, and yours is sooooo well done. Love your tags too .. must get on that and see what pops out. Yours are always to original. Have a lovely day, Valerie. Heaven only knows what you will be able to accomplish today after a great nights sleep! :o) Hugs from Mexico, Donna
ReplyDeleteDonna, you would be most welcome, too - the couch sleeps 2! My head is still rather fuzzy, but never mind, it was worth it!
ReplyDeleteI love the color pallet you chose for the both paintings. They are beautiful! The tags, too. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, Val, and I love the tags, too. DD's brthday present arrived safely, thanks, I will hide it till Monday! Have a lovely day, hugs, Sarah and kids
ReplyDeleteLove your colourful paintings. I see many things in them.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that altered spoon tag and of course your blue tags are gorgeous too, Valerie!
All this with a fuzzy head, I am impressed :)

Good morning, Valerie. I took a couple of days off from blogging to actually get some things accomplished. Finished up a couple of cards and worked some more on little note cards for holiday gifts. Yesterday I repotted several house plants that were root bound.
ReplyDeleteLOVE YOUR TAGS. Your spoon tag is my favorite. Altering spoons can be oodles of fun. I altered some and made charms a couple of years ago by cutting off the handles and adding theme related elements.
We have more rain today so my yard work is on hiatus. Have a wonderful weekend.
