Hi All,
What fab tags you have all created! I'm feeling a bit out of my depth with such an artistic crowd! I have made my tag from a photograph that I took last winter when we had plenty of snow and we were out walking near Langsett Dam on the Pennines. I took the photograph of the trees with some seed heads in the foreground. I have emphasised these using black embroidery thread and gold seed beads. I have added some glitter to make the snow twinkle. The wording is from a song I used to sing at Primary School which started..
"The North Wind doth blow
and we shall have snow"

ReplyDeleteOut of your depth?! This is BEAUTIFUL. Love that you used one of your own photos and the seed head detailing is perfect.
ReplyDeleteSuper tag.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag Diane, the seed heads bring the whole image to life.
ReplyDeleteI think this is stunning so no need to feel out of your depth although i feel the same. The photo is divine and the tag is just adorable.

This is stunning, love the way you used the thread and beads to give it more depth.
ReplyDeleteWell if the North Wind blows in this tag, I say let it blow!!! This is a work of art! Your photographic skills, design sense, hand sewing technique. You are hardly out of your league. You just taught me a gorgeous visual which I've filed away in the rolodex inside of my head where I store these visuals. *smiles* Norma
