Tag Tuesday Catch -up

Hi  Everyone.

I have just posted my tag over at Tag Tuesday. This weeks theme is 'Rock Pools and Beach Finds.

As my total collection of beach finds are a couple of pebbles from Cornwall I struggled some what to come up with an idea for this weeks tag. In the end I went for quite a simple one using black and white images of shells that I found  thanks to The Graphic Fairy.


The tag was painted first with gesso and then white acrylic paint. The images were adhered to the tag using Gel Medium. I then finished off  around the edges and the shells with black oil pastel. After posting the tag and looking at it again I think I should have used more shell images and overlapped them. But to be honest I'm just glad to have got it done.

Here is last weeks tag which I didn't get around to posting here. The theme was 'Sea Birds'.



I started buy colouring the tag with Broken China Distress Ink and did a gel medium transfer of an image of a seagull which I took myself and stamped the words 'echo's of a sea bird' to compliment the faded image of the bird. I then added a layer of gesso to give it a weathered look.

Those of you who remember  my post about the textile picture entitled 'Flowers' will know that I put it in a small exhibition of work from a textile class I go to. Last year I was lucky enough to sell a piece of work but I was not so fortunate this year and my little picture has now come home safe and sound.

I want to say thanks  for the lovely comments I have had, they mean a lot.

Bye for now x

  1. Lovely tags as usual, Fuzzie! Thanks for your nice comment on my blog - so glad you enjoyed my annotated photo! Yes, I'm having such fun with the Dylusions inks. I've just uploaded a blog post about my most recent project which I'm very thrilled with though I say it myself lol!!

    I thought I'd left a comment yesterday but it doesn't seem to have worked... Having power supply issues with this laptop atm and have just ordered a new power adaptor. It wasn't charging and just shut down... Always something, isn't there!

    Have a great weekend.

  2. I always love your tags, although I don't always comment. Thanks for the comment about my seahorse piece. I stamped on the organza using stayzon and hand made stamps. It was actually left over from another project.

  4. Two great tags I particularly love the seabird, the robin's egg blue background is perfect for your transfer.
