Hello everyone,
hope you’ve all had a good week. For
this week’s theme I tried to think of a
film or play that might connect the other themes for this month. GREASE
kept coming to mind because of its Drive-in theatre and Fairground Scene finale; I’m also in a bit
of a pink mood, so this really ‘Fit the Bill’.
I looked on-line for images and
was surprised to see that GREASE The Musical was coming to Bournemouth for one
week only. So in the name of Research
for Tag Tuesday, last night I was off to the THEATRE for Opening Night (any
excuse!!). It was a fantastic show. The whole 'Summer Nights' idea is just perfect for these August Themes.
For my main tag, I
used a flyer for the show. On one side I
have covered over most of the writing with my ticket, a strip of advertising
material with 'MUSICAL' on it, all embellished with some black and white musical
notes confetti.
I then made 4
smaller tags –
One with the ‘T’ BIRDS logo,
one with the Pink Ladies logo, another has the GREASE car logo. My favourite small tag has the theatrical
comedy / tragedy masks with pink ribbons. I added a musical clef and notes.
They are attached together with pink and black ribbons.
I am really enjoying the background study that must be done for Tag Tuesday! I’m really looking forward to the FAIRGROUND and CIRCUS weeks! When are we having TROPICAL ISLANDS for a theme?
Thank you for all
your kind comments on my AMUSEMENTS tag, they are much appreciated. Thank you also for sharing and inspiring me
with all your tags, they are all a real treat to look at as soon as I have
posted mine on the blog!
Bye for now and
have a great, creative week.

What a great idea! Great tag too-- really gives the feel of the show! And very funny about "researching" tropical islands!!
ReplyDeleteLove this - theme, colours and everything! Valerie
ReplyDeleteSo much thought has gone into this & it shows - FAB tags and awesome colour scheme :0)
ReplyDeleteI like your kind of research! I've never seen Grease on stage, but it's one of the movies my daughters and I loved to watch on video. When I was a teenager, my cousin and I used to sing and dance along the sound track for the fun of it. I thought I looked like John Travolta. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI got chills, their multiplying!!
ReplyDeleteWay cool tag!
Hugs,
Ivy

This is amazing. Each detail is perfectly done and combining the tags into one worked perfectly. Great colors - The Pink Ladies would love them!

ReplyDeleteHaving such a great time looking at this week's tag, and yours are no exception. Oh, I so wanted to be Olivia Newton John .... your interpretation captures the "Grease" fun so well.
