Spring is on its way - I hope

Hi Everybody!

I met a bunch a strange people waiting for the tram to take

them into the town for the carnival parades Today.

One group, all men, were dressed as 'Queen Elizabeths',

all beautifully decked out in pastel colours, wearing tiaras,

carrying handbags and skilfully made up - they looked

great. 

I have another  12" mixed media tag to share, this time made for

Go Tag Thursday, turquoise and brown. I used some DP

for the background, and cut some cogs from cardboard, which I painted with turquoise and embossed with Frantage EP. Tim's bird branch was cut out twice, Once in turquoise and once in brown, and placed over each other so that a narrow brown 'shadow' remained. I used some nature decorations mixed with fibres and fabric roses in turquoise. I sewed the various layers 

together again.

I am also linking to Simon Monday challenge, transport - cogs and the bird transporting a branch.

These rusty statues are in a garden near the castle ruins:

The ruins have decked themselves out in spring flowers:

The buds are getting bigger:

The hospital gardens are full of crocuses:

 Some shops are decorated for spring:

The lingerie shop has added carnival masks to the shop-window

mannequins, which gave me some very surreal pictures:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
