A beautiful sunrise

Hi Everybody!

It's Friday already, and the weekend is

almost upon us. The sun is shining again after a

wonderful dawn sky and sunrise, and I

was able to get out for a walk again -

not as far as usual, but there will hopefully be time

to get back in training when my bones have healed. There

is still ice and snow outside, but I was very careful -

I don't want to make a habit of  kissing the ground!

I have been enjoying playing with corrugated cardboard,

craft card and scraps of paper, fabric, feathers 

and whatever I find flying around. 

For my 12" tag today I used the spine which fell off of 

one of my old Muret Sanders Dictionaries. They are from the

beginning of the 20th century, and have a beautiful binding, but the 

leather parts are completely porous. Anyway, I decided to make it part of a tag:

The tag was first painted and embossed with Frantage

aged white EP. The doll has been cut from a pattern I have,

and her crown is a castle stamp from Paper Artsy, which I

 embossed with gold Utee. I added some burlap, a 

sentiment and stitching:

I am linking to Go Tag Thursday, 'ephemera'.

I was honoured to be showcased there this week.

Here is one of the dictionary volumes. Please feel free to copy the images and use them as ephemera:

And last but not least some photos of the 

magnificent sky this morning:

And my pride-and-joy amaryllis:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
