It seems no time at all since Tim started his Twelve Tags of 2012 challenge. To think we are on the ninth month already! Once again this has been an enjoyable tag to make. I really love the riveted patchwork technique. This tag has the usual improvisations, The quill and scroll idea came to me by a rather sad route after I found a pile of feathers in my garden. One of the local cats had caught a wood pigeon and left a trail of feathers behind. I salvaged a couple and coloured this one with black Archival ink. You wouldn't believe how many times I wrote the saying on the scroll before I got it 'right'. My normal writing is quite big and I found it really difficult to try and write small and neat. Some decorative buttons and a little bottle of glittery fairy dust complete the look. x
Oh that's fab, Toni! Love the swooning lady in your film strip, and the decadent feather and ribbon are delicious against the industrial background - wow!

Toni, this is a wonderful take on Tim's tag, you have captured such a vintage feel. I love how you used that poor bird's feather and your writing is beautiful (even if it did take a while!). A really beautiful tag. Crafty hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you wrote that scroll!! What beautiful handwriting! Love the texture you've got into your metal (especially the bit behind the 9) and use of a feather. Hugs, Buttons x

ReplyDeleteWow what a lovely tag, sad story behind the feather but it looks good on your tag. I just love tags and this one floats my boat.
