Popping in at the eleventh hour with my "white" tags and, no doubt, will be popping back some time to replace these photos too as they are rubbish ... so hard to capture the colour white truly in the winter darkness of my cottage ... but here they are anyway
I made four tags in varying sizes and tied them together with a white chiffon ribbon
the first and smallest tag has a perfect little white sand dollar
given to me by my friend Cathie in North Carolina ...
given to me by my friend Cathie in North Carolina ...
... the next tag (slightly larger) is cut from mulberry paper with a layer of chiffon to which I attached a little white cottage, some snowflakes and text "little white cottage"
... the third tag ... getting larger ... features another cottage on a white mulberry textured tag on a layer of cotton scrim with a long white shell I found on the beach. I glued on the words "on warm white sand" and stitched on some white shells and beads ... honestly they are there ... will get a better photo soon!
... then for the fourth and largest tag I used a natural parcel tag. This one is layered up quite a bit more (my main tag) using satin that I melted to bubble up like St. Ives cobbles, more cotton scrim, white cottages, limpet shells, buttons, beads, jewellery clasps containing pearls and more text "white houses on the harbour side"
I love my little book ... I think we may have a book theme in February and I will be posting the February themes soon as I know some of you love to make ahead!
