I really struggled with this theme until I just went into the studio and started pulling out anything white from my stash and within 30 minutes I was off and creating this tag. I decided the image is a Snow Princess and I edged her with white muslin for texture and little crystals for a bit of sparkle and some white stickles on her frock. The glass drop has the word snow glued to it's underside, taken from a vintage dictionary. The tag was collaged with vintage book papers, then gessoed over, allowing some of the words to come through. I then ruffled a scrap of white cotton straight onto the tag, sewing it with my sewing machine, and then put a scrap of muslin over that to breakup to background further and provide another layer of interest.Thanks so much for setting up and hosting this swap Carolyn. I know I need the challenge of working on themes that are unfamilar sometimes. Just loving the variety and gorgeousness of the tags posted so far!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delightful and so delicate.
ReplyDeleteSweet. So soft and delicate. I like the use of the glass drop and dictionary words. I'll have to remeber how you did it. My saying is ...sometimes it just works. Your tag is lovely. bb
ReplyDeleteThe fabric layering just grabs my eye and holds it. The color theme (white) is restful so it doesn't look 'done' if you know what I mean. It is amazing how one can have a blank mind and then once the materials are in your hands or you're just looking at them, the muse kicks in and you're off to a nice piece of art. This process is magical to me. I like your tag very much! *smiles* Norma
