Sardinia

I've just come back from a lovely holiday in Sardinia.

Above is a photo of cork trees.

We visited a museum one day when it was raining and saw this rack of shoe forms and this unusual picture frame below.

On the day we were coming home I was up earlier and caught the sun rising.

Frames

These three collages are from sketchbook 16, I chose these pages to enter this weeks Three Muses challenge - Frames.

The backgrounds are textured with magazine/newspaper and painted with watercolours. The images were found in magazines and additional decorating with pens.

Tast 7, Outside the Frame, Alphabet

Take a Stitch Tuesday - this week's stitch is detached chain or lazy daisy stitch and this is my rather untidy sample. I've used patches of vintage fabrics, some transfer printed lace, a little painted fabric and a beaded fringe with large sequins on the end.

The Three Muses challenge is 'Outside the frame - Birds' and I was thinking outside the cage for some reason and started something with that in mind, eventually it dawned on me - frame not cage. I have used one of my collaged paintings and added the frame digitally [frame from Graphics Fairy, birds and rabbit are found images from magazines]

There was an 'alphabet' challenge on Inspiration Avenue a few weeks ago and I meant to post these but I never got around to it. The top one is all drawn with promarker pens and the bottom one is a collage.
