Winter and Celebrations - Tags



While it seems rather strange to be creating "winter "themed tags in scorching summer weather, this was the theme for Tag Tuesday.... I created two tags, with similar backgrounds and added a stamped figure which I coloured a little to give it a bit more life, and to the other, a die cut bird. The backgrounds are collaged and then partially covered with digitally printed organza. 
I have not been participating in Tag Tuesday for some time and have missed the regular tag making, so this year, I will try much harder. I had good intentions and started the previous theme "celebrations'. I didn't quite get around to finishing on time, but here they are now.... featuring postage stamps on a collaged background. 
Pop over to Tag Tuesday to see other artists' tags and take the opportunity to join in for the next theme.

Stitched Gardens and Magpies

  Magpies are always around  in our garden , strutting, poking about for insects and having a splash in the birdbath.  They often call if the water is at a low level in the birdbath until one of us replenishes the water supply. It is no coincidence then that they have figured prominently as part of  recent little works in the stitched garden series.  I also like to include human figures in my gardens, especially taken from old photos of family members. This "impressionist ' stitched garden features  my husband's great aunt,  Sarah Ann Bath.  I like to think of her in this abundant garden , when in reality,  she grew up  in the early 1900s in rather cramped living conditions in Birmingham UK  See more and read more about my stitched gardens - other posts:  How does your garden grow with stitch?  How does your garden grow with crayons?

Dotee Divertissement

Dotee by Wendy Anderson  What is a "dotee' doll? ...  A dotee is a mini art doll, meant to be traded or swapped. The dolls 6 inches /15 cm tall or smaller, but the hanger or tail can exceed that measurement. They have a face, but do not require arms or legs. Dotees have a loop for hanging, and come with tails (tails are fibres, ribbon, charms or other string-y things that add to the theme of the doll). Dotees can be made from a variety of materials - fabric, felt, paperclay, yarn, beads, gourds or any other material/media that you can make a doll from. Most dotee makers add buttons, beads, sequins, embroidery, or charms to embellish the doll. Dotee dolls by Wilma Simmons At the February meeting of Gumnut Dollies Newcastle, the group activity was to revisit these little dolls, which were very popular for doll swaps around the world about 10 years ago. As our theme for 2020 is The Twenties, the little flapper girl face buttons were a good start....  Dot...

Landmarks Revisited

" Landmarks " is the current theme for  the  Tag Tuesday   challenge. While I made a tag celebrating the Sydney Opera House  last week, I remembered an art tag I  made for the "Italy' challenge a few years ago and it used a landmark! I am not sure now  exactly the process used making this tag back in 2013, but obviously some background stamping and painting with a cut out of the Mona Lisa face and the leaning Tower of Pisa.  And to complete the connection between landmarks and Italy. I am very excited to hear that a textile "map" of Newcastle ( Australia) created collaboratively  by NCEATA ( Newcastle Creative Embroiderers and Textile Artists) will be exhibited in Italy next month.   Already this textile art work has been travelling around various countries, but will be on display at Perugia University 10 - 17 September with other maps interpreting "where I live".  Our Newcastle map shows many of the local landmarks ...
