For this tag, I used matte medium to glue tan script pint tissue to the
background. When it was dry, I scrapped the edges and distressed them
with a Sepia Archival ink pad. I cut a photograph I took of a
Southwestern Earless Lizard at Big Bend into a circular shape and edged
it with the sepia pad. (I love the lizard's emerald green markings!)

Next, I composed a haiku poem about the experience and wrote it on a
sheet of K&Company Smash captions with a green marker. I also edged
the sheet with the sepia pad. I used some K&Company die-cuts that
matched my green theme, and arranged them along with my other elements
on the tag. I made a pendant using some green and amber glass beads and
tied it to the end of a strip of green twine. I tied a feather to the
other end. I attached the twine to my tag

A really wild tag, beautiful memories of your trip; love the glass beads - looks like a giant bug, Jane
You put me to shame with your concise description. The tag turned out beautifully.
