Tag Tuesday -- Autumn/Halloween

Another tag for Valerie's theme of Autumn/Halloween on Tag Tuesday. Again a distress ink background with stampings and die cuts.

Every Inchie Monday -- Spain

This week we are in Spain. I thought this one would be easy, but my first attempt at drawing the national bird was somewhat off target. The first one looked like an emanciated parrot, and the second attempt like a strange breed of pigeon. I eventually managed to draw the Imperial eagle. For the sewn one I have made the bull their national animal, in two different leathers.

Fabric pages for my new book of trees.

I have been on some Angie Hughes workshops and love how textured all these pieces are. There's lots of melting back and stitching and I have added beads to some of them. These two represent decaying bark and various elements of the forest floor.

Tag Tuesday -- Autumn/Halloween

Another tag for Valeries theme on Tag Tuesday, I love doing Halloween tags. I used Distress inks on the background and spayed it with water. I stamped the skeleton and words,  and the raven on a separate piece of card. I made some shrink plastic pumpkins for the top/

Thursday Journal with Neet

I had already done this post and now I am writing it again, where it went I do not know.
Neets choice this week with flowers and the colours grey and pink. As much as I love flowers I find them difficult to work with, especially in paper crafts.
I painted the background in grey and stencilled on top with pink and my third colour, orange.
I used Dylusion figures and some paper and fabric flowers.

Tag Tuesday -- Autumn/Halloween

Valerie has chosen this theme of Autumn/Halloween for Tag Tuesday and I have gone for Halloween. I love the colours and images , and my stamps don't come out very often
I distress inked the background and stamped some cobwebs and some images.

Every Inchie Monday -- Taiwan

This week we are off to Taiwan, and I have drawn their National bird, the blue magpie. For the sewn one I have used the national flower, Prunus Mei - Plum blossom.
