Tag Tuesday -- Spring Flowers

It's my turn this fortnight and I have chosen Spring Flowers, I always feel that as soon as I see the snowdrops it is the start of new growth and Spring. They were my grandmothers favourite flowers and I am trying to get as many as possible in my garden.
The next cheerful flower is the daffodil. I have painted some of them for the second tag, and used a stamp for the first one.
What is your favourite Spring flower, I look forward to seeing what it is.

Fabric page with Annie

I have drawn the grey wolf (Canis Lupus) which is the National animal.

Life Book 2018

Thursday Journal with Neet

This week the two colours are London Blue and bubblegum pink, I have added light grey as my third colour. The theme is dots and dashes which made me think of semaphor and shorthand. I used a dots and dashes stencils with the two colours onto a grey background.

Every Inchie Monday -- Cuba

This week we are visiting Cuba, a beautiful island I have been told. When I think of Cuba, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, The Bay of Pigs, The Cuban missile crisis, and cigars all come to mind.
For the sewn one I coloured the flag and rolled up some fabric for the cigar, with a thin strip of gold tape around it.. The drawn one is their national bird, the Trougon

This fortnight on Tag Tuesday Michele has chosen Use a quote for our theme.
I have made a time theme one. The background is distress inked and embossed. I used one of Tim Holtz clock die cuts and figures added. Some cogs and the quote finished it off.
