Hi to every dear person who reads my blog, hope you are all enjoying the sun. It's that time of year when young folk go off travelling, families pack up for the holidays and festivals abound. (I hope Glastonbury stays dry, I can still remember when No 2 went off to it the year of THE mud!) As Hels challenge this week is the written word I thought I would make a small canvas with lots of words as a double meaning because it is through travel and experience that we write the book of our life? I hope you agree any way!
I gesso'd a small canvas, then used distress stain and paint for the background. The legs stamp is by Paper Bag Studio's, the small script on the side is a clear Tim Holtz stamp and I used his rub on words and ticket and metal word strip. the FLY stamp is by crescendoH and I found a small collage picture in my stash, then I hung it by a piece of knotted string. I wonder where you are all going this year? I am off later on in the year to Scotland to visit Iona which has been a dream for so long! Can't wait, we are going up on the sleeper train, what fun! But before that I am seeing Robbie Williams on Sunday at Wembley, not bad for 63 aye? I shall rock along with the young-uns! Have an adventurous week one and all, thanks for looking. x
A fabulous collage, great details.
