tags for Tag Tuesday....

'Riverbank' for June 26 2012

I know the theme was for Easter Eggs this week but I'd prefer a quiet little peek into a birds nest,

of course from a distance and being very careful not to be intrusive......

the eggs were made from plasticine painted with acrylic, they measure approx 1cm.
The nest was made by crocheting a wire 'frame' directly onto the tag and then weaving threads through it

I wanted to give the impression of branches and the tangled nature of a the hedge

just the usual sized luggage tag

the 'hedge was created with ink and a little hidden stamping, adding to the tangled feel

Hearts ~ for Tag Tuesday

Sorry its been a while since I posted last! I have been busy with some 'serious stuff ' in organising my fledgling business, the taxman, supplies and products. Still so much to do on my website so its good to have a bit of lightweight fun so here is my offering for this weeks subject of Hearts for Tag Tuesday.

found this old newspaper photo and somehow felt there was much more to the couple than met the eye! 

the reverse of my Heart tag, printed with my wonderful antique printing set (originally a jewellers for his pricing up) along my own carved blocks. creating my own blocks is a passion of mine

this tag was from the White week of Tag Tuesday, just another regular luggage tag which I decided to 'weave' into, leaving long trailing threads

and its reverse
