Hi everybody!
I still seem to be a in a blue, square modus, so here is the second blue picture I made on Thursday - I always mix too much paint!
The background is watered down metallic turquoise and blue. When it was dry I stamped squares again using inks directly from the ink-pads in tumbled glass, blue jeans and chipped sapphire. The 'sun' has been stamped with orange chalk-box ink, and the tree is a die-cut from Diane. The gull and buoy are pictures cut from a carrier bag I had. I love these blue tones just now, can't seem to get enough of them! I thought of 'Islands in the Stream' as I was making it, so that's my name for it.
I was pleased to see that my 'Green Man' was chosen among others in last month's 'Show and tell' at Artists in Blogland.
I am linking to Manon's Paper Saturdays and AJJ, squares.
Have a nice day, take care, and thanks for visiting!
Terrific colours and images that go so well together Valerie.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend

ReplyDeleteherzlichen Glückwunsch Valerie!!!

What delightful squares you've shared with us! Thanks for participating in this week's challenge at Three Muses!
ReplyDeleteValerie this is wonderful and in it's own way very peaceful - The blue is serene and your sentiment fits the calm of the blue. And now I am going to be singing Islands In A Stream all day long. But that's okay, it's a good song!

Good for you!
DeleteI think this is lovely, as everyone says, so peaceful and relaxing, beautifully done. The cropped images take on a completely different life, and each one works well as an image on its own.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised your green man was chosen, it is absolutely stunning.
So lovely, Valery! I really am loving those squares and I agree that this is very peaceful and relaxing! Happy Saturday!

ReplyDeleteLove your carrier bag buoy and pensive seagull, what a good idea. The blue squares are very calming - is it still hot where you are?
ReplyDeleteJust read your previous post, glad it's cooler for you.
ReplyDeleteSo like the continued use of squares and a lovely bit of recycling taking place with the use of the images you retrieved from the bag.
