What amazing Games tags for last week! its great to see the variety of our ideas and inspiration! Most brought back lovely childhood memories.
My FUNFAIR tags were
inspired by a photo of a Carousel Horse in this week’s Sunday Telegraph
Magazine. Its Union Jack colours made me think of Great British Fun Fairs and
The Dorset Steam Fair. Using a red card tag as a
base with sparkly gems for lights and gold ric-rac the whole length of the tag and
over the end for a tie; this reminded me of the golden barley-twist poles on
the Carousel. I made two similar tags
using the same materials.
On this tag I have used sticky sparkly gems to echo the lights on the carousel; The picture behind is of the Dorset Steam Fair.
Thank you once again for all your kind comments. I'm off now to admire all your Funfair creations, bye for now,
Jane xx
What pretty horses! Great way to "recycle!"
ReplyDeleteLove your carousel horse, and great idea with the 'lighting' on the tag! Valerie
ReplyDeleteFab tag, I so loved the carousel horses, they were works of art. x
ReplyDeleteYou captured the excitement of fairs in your tags. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteLoving the carousel horses! I always wanted a ride on one, but there never were any where I went - only ever in the films. I'm loving the themes that bring memories back to people around here. So many tales to read :0)
ReplyDeleteLovely Jane - especially love the colours and your picture in the background is a nice add...
ReplyDeleteSo that is how you spell ric-rac. The barley sugar twist it looks like. Very nice tags. Dont' you just love steam fairs.
