Here are my tangle tags for this week - I have G and the catch up letter C. I am really glad I decided on this theme for my Alphabet of tags as I have been having great fun finding new patterns to try out. One more week and I will catch up with my late tags!
The C tag Patterns are...... on the right are - Camelia, on the top left - Chemistery, bottom left Candle Glow and my favourite on this tag is the pretty ribbon pattern - Chainlea.
The patterns on the G tag are top right - Gingham and bottom left - Girdy. I love the 3D look of this pattern. Makes you feel like you are at the top of a tall structure looking down into the depths! I tried out the cute stamps my Mum gave me this Christmas from Craftwork Cards that are designed to stamp letters on card candy - cool! I can see lots of used for these - Thanks Mum x
Next week when I catch up with my final missing letter I will show you the backs of my tags so you can see how I am cataloging the patterns I am using and how my Distress Ink rainbow is taking shape!
I am finding this project very therapeutic indeed - there is nothing like concentrating on a pattern to free your mind from day to day stuff for a while! Who needs therapy when you have art???? I have just looked that up on the internet to see if I can claim that as a quote!! I found out that art therapist is a job so I think that proves my quote - I can't find that anyone has it listed as a quote (time will tell) but in the mean time do I have to be quoted to make it a quote? For it to be more than a sentence in my blog.......ouch I think I need more art!
Who needs therapy when you have art - Helen Allen
You can quote me on that :-)
I hope you are all having a lovely creative week and thank you for all your lovely words last week. Tag Tuesday is like a great big hug! Off to give out a few of my own ;-)
