When I read "purple" for this week's theme, I thought of the novel by Alice Walker, 'The Color Purple". ( I think that was the movie that gave Oprah Winfrey her first claim to fame). I always loved the cover of the book, which was of a purple silhouette of a women in a rocking chair. My tag this week is a photo of me taken by my husband, when a huge ship, Pasha Bulker, went aground on Newcastle Beach ( NSW, Australial) in 2007, not so far from where we live. The shadow of the freighter is visible stuck on the shore. This was taken just as the sun was rising , and the colours (purple-pink) were a lot lighter in the original. I enhanced the purple tones for this tag, trimmed the photo to size, added some painted torn vellum for the border, and some twisted wire ties. I have only had a peek at this week's tags already posted, so am about to look more carefully - it seems purple is a favourite colour and has inspired really fantastic art this week - congratulations to all.
Love this tag Wilma.That was an amazing event with the grounding of that ship.
