Morning Cuppa for King Bird

A digital collage.

The bird, cup and crown were free from the Graphics Fairy. The striped background was purchased. The doily belongs to me and the I created table.

Below - Take a Stitch Tuesday - the stitch is knotted feather stitch which I have worked on a collage of paper, some art work, some found papers. This is WIP, I will be adding more to it and it will be a page for my Green Book.

Last year I worked on a large project and posted some snippets of the work when I had used a TAST stitch. If you would like to see the finished work click here.

Feathers in the Sky and more pages from my sketchbook

There were some interesting things in the sky yesterday. I could hear a lot of planes - the Sunderland Air Show was on - but I also saw these feathers in the sky, well clouds but they look like feathers. Click on the images to enlarge.

More pages from sketchbook 16

There were also a lot of bees and wasps flying around yesterday too, but I only saw one like this.

Insects and Altered Photographs

Something strange has happened to the photos I took on my recent mini break.

This bee has gained an extra head. The background is a Norfolk Broad and the head is part of the Westminster Abbey building. Click on the images to enlarge.

The geese below have crowns.

And the skeletons have risen and are having a cuppa.

OK, I admit I have been messing about. My husband bought me a wacom pen for my birthday and with it came a copy of Photoshop Elements, so I have been trying them out.

The extras are from The Graphics Fairy as is the lady below. I gave her a bee necklace to join in the challenge at Take a Word - this week the word is insects.
