Our theme this week at Tag Tuesday is *green*. I have used mostly re-cycled materials - green! and a lot of green stuff. The cardboard has been distressed, gessoed and then painted green, before being inked with gold and green. The image is from Graphics 45, the lace has been recycled, and the beads have been made from painted paper, rolled round a knitting needle. I made the beads to hang on presents last Christmas, put them in a tin, and forgot where they were....Last week I found them again, so here they are on my tag.
That's all for today!
Take care, have a lovely day, and thanks for visiting!
Valerie

One I Made Earlier Today
This is great Valerie. Particularly like your green/recycled take on it. I like the way you have fastened the beads on with the twine. Love the beads. Glad I'm not the only one that puts things away and forgets where. Enjoy the rest of your day :0)
