Summer Holiday
Our best family summer holidays were camping trips in the bush, near the beach - a tent amongst the trees, and short walk to the sand and water. This week's tag tries to recreate the feel of these carefree holidays - cotton fabric with acrylic paint, coloured pencils, stitching by hand and machine and gesso on cheesecloth, trimmed with a leafy braid. Looking forward to seeing all the summery tags, as we are now in the middle of Winter here in Australia.
Warm wishes, Wilma.

Your tag images a secret bush hideaway perfectly Wilma. I love all the stitching and how you cleverly photographed it with the gum leaves...I can almost smell them.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are not too clod where you are...even here in the far north of NSW it is VERY chilly and bleak today!
