Hi Everybody!
Just a quick post today, it was a busy week and I need to rest!
I made a 12" mixed media tag for a friend, as inspiration I
cased one of my old tags, using lots of layering, stitching,
collage, structure paste and stencils:
I am linking to Paint Party Friday and to Creative Artiste Mixed
Media challenges, anything goes.
We had some wonderful clouds again:
I was surprised to see poppies already in spite of the
bad weather:
Lots of hungry birds needing to be fed.
I am linking the bird photos to 2 crafty critter crazies
Have a great day and a great weekend,
take care, and thanks a lot
for coming by!
Have a good rest, your tag is beautiful and your photos made me happy today!

The tag is terrific Valerie but the photographs today take the prize. Vic and me have just been looking through them with wonder at the content and quality in all of them..I think any poppies here would have lost their petals in the wind. Thank you for sharing all the wonders.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy a really good rest because you deserve it
Love Chrissie xx

I am sure your friend loved your tag - I never thought about hanging beads (especially home made ones) from a tag and I love that idea!
ReplyDeleteYour bird pictures are amazing - such wonderful colors. I had to laugh when I saw the little bird that looks like he is chirping - "fuss, fuss, fuss, that's all you do!" My bird quote for the day.
