Tag Tuesday-America

The subject for this week's Tag Tuesday

is America

 I made a quick tag this week.

This image from the Graphics Fairy seems perfect 

for my America tag on Thanksgiving Day.

I mounted it on this lovely stars and stripes

fabric which I bought in Joanne's last time

I was in the States.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you American readers!

Cyprus

I had a very enjoyable holiday in Cyprus. Richard and I

were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. It was

the obvious holiday destination for us, as it is where we

went for our honeymoon, and later lived there for three

years.

We had a lovely time revisiting old haunts and seeing old

 friends. We managed to pack a lot into a week!

Here are some photos.

Tag Tuesday-Skylines and Circles

I have been away again since my Berlin trip. My husband and I had a

holiday in Cyprus to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. It was 

a trip down Memory Lane, as we had our honeymoon in Cyprus, and 

later went to live there. I will post about it soon!

For my Skylines tag, I did a simple watercolour painting, using black

pens as well. This is the view from my studio when I stand on a chair 

and look out at the world! I liked the effect of next door's house 

silhouetted against the skyline.

 I made two Circles tags, using gesso for the

background and printing with a selection of

jars and lids from my jam jar stash. I thought

the gesso would be thicker and stand out in relief

more, but I couldn't thicken it, so it is not as 

3 D as I would like. I added salt crystals for extra

texture.
