Rainy Day
Well, it’s
definitely
a rainy day in Bournemouth today!! As I made this week’s tag I was
thinking of
my two lovely daughters and the time we went to Oxford Street in June, a
couple of years ago, for some shopping. It was hot and humid and
the girls were
wearing flip flops and Summer clothes.
Suddenly, while we were in-between shops, the heavens opened and we were
caught in a really heavy thunder storm.
Rosie had a big yellow umbrella and together the two teenagers danced
arm in arm up
Oxford Street, singing and dancing in the rain.
It was all I could do to keep up
with the yellow umbrella! They
really brightened up London that day, putting a smile on the faces of
shoppers coming
the other way!!
I started my rainy
day tag by making some tag size silk paper with silk throwsters, colour – 'storm clouds'.
To this I stitched on some antique glass bugle
beads and other clear beads and sequins using Madeira 'Rainbow' metallic thread.
I tried to keep the beads all going the same
direction whilst at the same time keeping the threads on the back vertical.
Next I wrote on
some vellum with black ink: “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s
about learning to Dance in the Rain”.
This was then trimmed to tag size.
The tags are joined together with a silver satin ribbon.
Take Care, and bye
for now,
Jane xx
