Hello my Lovelies Ladies, I'm finally back with something I can post I made this for the Dragons Dream TIO #160 the letter G and Birds.. I was all a twitter not being able to think of anything to make, when a sweet little Bird ( Miss Darnell) told me the Gold finches were put out
that I hadn't thought of them right away, so I thought I would would honor them with this tag..
Sorry no photos of the process so I'll explain how it came about, I was testing my new mixed media paper, just dropping on different watercolors I was using at the time, blue and green, then I sprayed it with some orange, it looked like a wonderful background to add my trees stamp to make a forest. I cut it out to fit a large tag then attached it to a corrugated frame. I had some lovely pictures of my Goldfinch friends so added them on around the tag..
I made 2 flowers from the same paper, I have 2 small flower punches.
I framed the pics with the same paper and it tells them I do love my bird friends....
I stamped their name, made 2 curly cues, one from the original paper and one from corrugated cardboard.. I dyed my seam binding with orange gelato stamped some tree tops on it hard to see, then wrapped it with some gold chain to hold it.I edged everything with gold Inca ink.Once I finally got it going I fell in love with it, I hope my Goldfinch friends like it too..
I am entering this in the
Dragon Dream challenge..
Thanks so much for visiting my nest, I will be flying around blog land to visit all my Lovely friends, hope you all have a wonderful weekend..... ((( BIG HUGS )))...
NAMASTE...

Just stunning, Dianne - glowing colours and wonderful depth in that background, and the goldfinches have a setting completely worthy of their glory!

I have also fallen in love with it!
The use of orange is stunning as it is as though your beautiful tag is glowing and the way you wrapped chain around the seam binding is completely fabulous.
A WOW from me
