Birdcage tag

Have been playing with Tim Holtz birdcage die...love it!!
The tag I sent as a birthday card.

Simplicity!

Just finised a new journal spread :)

New journal pages

My art journal - I started in October 2009 - is almost full... for most drawing I used watercolour pencils, Derwent Aquatone, Faber Castell Pitt pen and Uni Ball Signo.

New vintage tag - Queen Bee

Hope

Hope

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Emily Dickinson

My latest tag

Just finished a new tag with one of my favourite images, the lady in the bird cage.

I created a textured backgroud on the front of the tag with acrylic modeling paste and I loved the tecnique. For the back of the tag I used paper and my good old sewing machine.

Sewing with paper is another technique I want to explore. If you have any questions just leave me a comment.
