At The Seaside


   Hi Everyone! 
It is still raining here in Berkshire, so I was very glad to do a seaside tag to make  me dream of sunshine and holidays!
I enjoyed everyone's riverbank tags-such an interesting variety, showcasing all your ideas and skills.

My tag is an interpretation of the seaside from my mind's eye. I made a collage using my stash of painted and coloured papers. (Thanks again, Yvonne for the idea! I have lots to use up from my C&G days!)
The sand is made from sandpaper (what else!), the beach hut is a scrap from an old shirt-doesn't it just look one! The sailing boat and sun are made from Indian papers.
I photographed it on a map of France, to let you use your imagination to go on holiday  there.
Now I am going to enjoy perusing  your tags.
See you next week!
