Background was prepared using some pages from an old French/English dictionary picked up in a charity shop (well, I wasn't going to cut up any of mine!) and gesso. A title was cut from an old children's book, nautical ribbon was found in stash......only one problem, the photos had been lost from my laptop when it had its' "breakdown" last year.
Happily, on Thursday afternoon in Bristol, we saw some gulls eating abandoned ice cream...DH did the honours and I finished the tag last night....they obviously prefer ice cream to the insects and seeds they're supposed to find on land!
Really nice! I'll have to try your gesso technique. And who doesn't prefer ice cream??
ReplyDeleteLove the tag! And, also love ice cream over bugs.... I guess gulls are brighter than they look!
ReplyDeleteI prefer ice cream to healthy food, too! Lovely technique with the gesso! Hugs, Valerie
