Swimming


Hi everybody!  My first tag is a little man who was determined to fill his pool although his Mum had said no! The photo has been backed with some of my hand-painted papers, and I added some pirate accessories, and Noah's Ark, which I found in my button box.


I love this vintage image. I have mounted it onto a distressed and painted cardboard tag, cut in the shape of a beech hut. The shabby bow is a scrap of cotton, and the sun is a yellow daisy. I have added gold glass-glitter sand and some shells.


I discovered these 2 buxom wenches in their jazzy swim-suits, and had to put them on a tag. The tag is a piece of a cornflakes box, covered with some of the blue cotton I used for the bow in the tag above. I fussy cut the images and then rolled them round a pencil to make them stand out before fixing them with foam squares. I wonder what they won those cups for??


 And these are some mini, tag-size flip-flops, which we all need for the beach and swimming....


Have a good week you all! Valerie

  10. Wow...you've been busy! I love them all but the first one made me laugh. I thought he was peeing in the pool but when I looked closer...realized he has a hose. What a little rascal!

  18. What a cute pirate - definitely a bathing cutie. More of the strange footwear on the swimmer with the cup on the right! Are they the equivalent of our swimming shoes today I wonder.
