Happy holidays everyone! Happy 4th July to all those on the other side of the ocean!
For this tag I was inspired by words that evoke the unspoilt
seaside. These words were written on some blue and gold swirly fabric
with white acrylic using my tiny flat paintbrush and a dip pen. On the
bottom of the tag I have tried to get the effect of surf on the shore
with some silver and blue ric-rac, needle-felted in place with some
curly silk throwsters . There is more needle-felted surf at the top.
On the other side, I have covered the tag with strips of frayed organza
in blue and green. On the bottom is more needle-felted silk and a few
sea shells. The tag is finished with a swirly, glittery organza ribbon.
For my other tag I made some seaside inchies with shells and some
sparkly charms. The one on the bottom right might be a parasol, but with
the current weather here in Bournemouth, an umbrella is more
appropriate! and its far too cold for ice-cream! What's happening to our Seasons?
This was the view from the beach hut at Fishermans Walk on 6 March; I suspect its not so bright today!
Bye for now

These are just beautiful Jane. I've just popped over from Tag Tuesday to ask whether you mind if I copy these pictures to print off for my inspiration wall? It's ok if you'd rather I didn't :0)
ReplyDeleteYou are right Jane it's hard to think about a sunny seaside when we are having a deluge but you did a great job anyway.
