Thursday Journal with Neet

This week it's Art Deco  the colours are Black and red and I've chosen orange as the third colour.
I was a bit stumped with this one and in the end thought of the words before I knew what I was doing.
I used Dylusion paints in the red and orange and drew a sort of Clarice Cliff tree in black. The figures are also Dylusions.

Every Inchie Monday -- Japan

We are off to the far East today on Every Inchie Monday, to Japan. My sewn one is of Mount Fuji with some cherry blossom in the foreground. The card one is a shrink plastic Geisha.

This week the theme is Jigsaw pieces and the colours blue and copper. I have added a dark blue as my third colour. I'm not sure who chose this subject, I just know I chose the colours. I cut out some jigsaw pieces on the Sizzix and them tried fitting them together. After a struggle I managed to stamp the two dog images on and colour them. Why on earth did I decide to do this, it was not easy.
I did the background in cornflower blue and stencilled over it with dark blue and copper. I had already thought of the words before I started so typed them out and stuck them on.

Open Garden Pictures

Just a few pictures of my garden. We made £1,150 for the NGS charities. A picture heavy post.

Tag Tuesday -- A night at the movies

This fortnight on Tag Tuesday we have Joan choosing the theme of a Night at the Movies. I have at last finished with mt open garden and can now try to catch up.
I have used the film Gandhi to illustrate my tag. He was such an incredible inspiration and ben Kinsley portrayed him so well in the film.

Every Inchie Monday -- Ireland

Nearer home this week in Ireland, I have drawn the National bird which is the Lapwing. I have sewn a shamrock which is the National flower.

 Sorry this is a bit brief, but I am absolutely tired out after our open gardens. The weather was brilliant, though a bit too hot. The people looking around were great, but I am pleased it's over.

This week we are doing steampunk with the colours being Tea Dye and Vintage Photo. I have added Evergreen Bough as my third colour.
I used a steam punk type stencil on the background, using the evergreen bough on the tea dye and vintage photo background.
The steampunk duck is from Chocolate Baroque and the "normal" bird from Dylusions
I had fun doing this one, even though it was just this morning. It was an excellent alternative to taking one of the cats to the vet.
