Go tag Thursday -- Earth Tones

This is the last challenge on Go Tag Thursday as Sandie is closing it down, as not enough people enter the challenge. She has worked so hard and I am very sad to see it go. I love making tags.
The background and leaves are coloured with distress inks, and I have added some brads and leaves at the base.

Thursday Journal with Neet

This is the last but one page in my large journal, after this we are going to work in a smaller format, a 8" x 8" journal, but still using our Dylusions.
I must admit doing an anything goes theme I am running out of ideas. but the weather today gave me the idea for this page.
The page was already painted and stencilled.



I am also entering this in Yvonne's colour my world on Art Journal Journey

Tag Tuesday -- Steampunk

This is my second tag for Joan's steampunk theme on Tag Tuesday. I used a distress inked background and added some stamped and printed images. Cogs finished off the tag

Every Inchie Monday -- Boa

Now I definitely didn't like doing this one, I even had trouble drawing one. The sewn one is a piece of fine leather rolled up, coloured and curled up. Once the colours had dried on the stampbord I coated the snake in a 3D glossy medium, which has made the markings blurred.  Not very pleased with either of these.
I hadn't realised how many colours they came in. Why on earth do people have these as pets ????

Tag Tuesday -- Steampunk

For this fortnight on Tag Tuesday, Joan has chosen Steampunk for her theme. I do enjoy doing steampunk and started with distress inking the tags. I then stamped the backgrounded the main image. I then stamped another one and put foam pads underneath to lift it.
Finally I added some cogs and some steampunk bits.



Thursday Journal with Neet

Another anything goes page in my now nearly full journal. We are back from St Ives and Ploughing through the washing and unpacking. Where does it all go, and did I really take all those clothes.
We had a great holiday, even though the weather was a bit iffy.
Came home via Devon to see one of my cousins, and then had to get home via Wales as the M5 was shut because of a terrible accident.
I have used an already painted page, and apart from the saying, cat and dog they are all Dylusion images.

Every Inchie Monday -- Trout

On Every Inchie Monday this week we are still in the water with the trout. I like eating them but not sewing them, talk about fiddly. I have drawn the stampbord one and used some fabric and stitching for the sewn one.
       I have had a very fishy week in Cornwall, I ate fish all week, including Hake, Haddock, Sea Bass, Sea Bream, Squid, Prawns and Lemon sole. We are now back home and I'm cooking a chicken.
Still on the Cornwall scene, we were in St Ives and one of the beaches for two days the life guards stopped folks going into the sea. Not because of the waves, but because there were hundreds of Man of war jellyfish in the bay. They had picked up 600 from the beach alone.
