I'm loving my garden at the moment - especially at night when the colours come alive and the moonlight creates such a beautiful glow on the plants. This tag is made using dried and pressed lavender from the garden, some collage scraps and some metallic wax.
Some of you who visit my blog regularly will know that I love working seasonally and for the last few years have been working during each summer on my 'midnight garden'. If you are interested you can see some of my older work here.

I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who left good wishes for my carpel tunnel operation last week - I finally had it done last Friday and it's now well on the mend. I'm struggling to type (this post is taking ages) or do much art but I made some tag bases before the op and have been able to do the finishing touches one handed - in fact it was surprisingly easy gluing on the lavender flowers.
I am linking up with Julia over at WOYWW. I shall try and return visits but might just have to leave my mark rather than a comment - I hope you don't mind!

I did a comment on my phone when I was out but it seems not to have 'taken', so to speak. So if you end up with two from me, that's why, lol!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I said that I was pleased that your op was on time and so successful - I didn't expect to see you this week tbh, but am glad that you've mastered the art of holding the tube of glue between your teeth. It's a life skill...... ;-)
The tags are glorious, I adore the inky blue and all the details...swoon....

So glad that the carpel tunnel op went well - praying for a full and speedy recovery. Love the artwork on show this week, just stunning! Have a lovely week. With Love & God Bless, Caro x (#8)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're healing nicely. It'll take some time for you to be able to use both hands. That tag is gorgeous! I had some dried lavender and over the weekend I noticed it gone because hubby threw it away. He said it was all dry and no good. UGH! Dorlene #23
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful - you could call it the magical night garden! I can't believe you did it with just one hand! Good to hear that the procedure went well and I'm sure you'll get your full dexterity back real soon! All the best! zsuzsa #14
ReplyDeleteOh this is beautiful. I am just starting to learn to work with the seasons and you are one of the artists that really has influenced me in that way. I adore everything you do. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery and am in awe that you still blogged and created after an op like that.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy if you can x x
Gorgeous piece Diana. I hope things are going well for you. Have a lovely week and a very happy woyww, Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteHow completely gorgeous... I've been in lavender and midnight mood over the last couple of creations - so this feels very in tune with my crafting world just now. The delicate threads of those lavender stems and that glorious petal ombre stretching into the background all add up to an exceptional midnight beauty.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear surgery went well and recovery is on track. Take good care of yourself.

You would never have guessed that you made that tag one handed! Oh Diana, it is stunning. There is so much to see that each time I roll back up the page I find another interesting bit. Simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got your operation at last. Praying for it to be successful and your return to full mobility before too long.
Hugs, Neet 10 xx
ps thank you for your good wishes - the chiropractor has given me hope.
Your little inky, denimy blue tags are a delight. So glad you are managing a little bit of single hand crafting! Take care and heal well. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteDear Diana, so good you now is on the mend , I hope it goes fast for you, to heal totally.
ReplyDeleteYour tag is stunning , so love what you did , the beauty of the lavender tones and blue, the dried flowers , and your added half pearls- so gorgeous. Hugs, Dorthe
Another exquisite addition to your Midnight Garden series - absolutely love the composition and colors, and those lovely lavender petals! And one handed no less! So good to hear you are on the other side of surgery - sending you healing wishes. xxx Lynn
ReplyDeleteHi Diana. So glad the op went well - and in fact, went ahead! Trust all the recovery goes well. That tag is lovely - well done for managing to glue on lavender, no less, single handedly! I don't think I would have managed to do it with two hands!!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Beautiful tag and love the dried lavender. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteYour fingertips create the most beautiful creations Diana... wowsers! It’s truly stunning, I’m thinking they must be agapanthus petals you’ve used as you mention it and of course the dried lavender.. very aromatic if you gently press on it.
ReplyDeleteCarpal tunnel surgery there’s a lot around. I pray you heal well in every aspect blessed of God!
Thanks for being a blessing, and may God bless you too.
