Not only did Summer of Colour challenge me to work with the colour green this week (mint choc chip ice cream colours), but Tag Tuesday also had a green theme this week - double struggles going on!
However, I finally produced two tags - not because I was working away happily in the colour green but because I wanted to improve on the first tag!
They are made up of cut and torn images, phrases and words from an old book on trees I found in a charity shop. I also used inks, pastels and acrylic paint.
I like them both, actually. I like the sort of streaky, drippy thing you did with the paint/ink. And I love the tree theme. Very nice tags. They're sort of calming.
ReplyDeleteI really like these - very creative use of old books for words.
ReplyDeleteThe colours link in well with your ice cream posting Diana.

Yes,I agree, These are both calming.I love the woods and trees.I like how you put in "Lady of the woods,"one of My favorite themes.Thank you for visiting Me also. Denise
ReplyDeleteI've read both posts so my comments are for both, I agree that I don't use the color green that much when crafting, BUT I adore green in decorating my home...weird. I love the art journal page you created for the Summer of Color challenge! Your tags are very creative, my favorite is the first one! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the 2nd one - I love the contrasts of color and form, and the larger piece of the old book. I'm such an old book junkie....And "Lady of the Woods", something so magical about that, kind of Lord of the Rings...
ReplyDeleteI love the textures that you've created here on your tag- it came out beautiful..and the words you chose! Perfection! (Words in art get me every time really mean to incorporate them sometime myself!)
ReplyDeleteTremendous tags! They are both great- my favorite is the lady of the woods!
ReplyDeleteI really like the forest theme. It's handy when you can kill two birds with one stone.
ReplyDeleteOh that's lovely suits the mint choc chip theme beautifully and meets another challenge too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tags!!! I don't like most of the green colors, but you made it look so warm and beautiful. I'm loving it!! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteoh, so beautiful - especially the second one for me
ReplyDeleteDiana, this is really beautiful - i looooove trees!
ReplyDeleteLove these tags! The second one really speaks to me... And my favorite color is green! Thank you for visiting and commenting! Nice to meet you! Kathy
