SNOW:


snowfall, snowflakes, snow...
To fall from the clouds


flakes of frozen crystals
crystals of frozen water



crystal vapors falling from the clouds.



I used a large shipping tag as my base along with painted papers and an assortment of white toned fabrics that I layered and stitched together.


I made a small pocket on my large tag and slipped a smaller two sided painted tag into it,



that can be removed to view the back.



Hand stitching and beading were used to complete my tag.

I look forward to this challenge and am excited to get to know each of you through your art!

happy creating,Ruth

  10. You certainly debunked the theory that less is more! And I think I love the back as much as the front! Great job!!
