Magnolia Magnificence

Dearest Minions,

Sometimes you come across something wonderful. Here are the beautiful magnolia trees that are in bloom in Ickworth House Gardens at the moment. If you can not get to Ickworth, here are some pictures so you can enjoy them too.

Dearest Minions,

Thought I would show one of my fear inducing fleet, that only rival the black pearl for tooth decay and new romantic dress sense. arrrrggg and all that.

By the way the book "Rivers of London" is wonderful have a read.

Cor Lovely Pear

Dearest Minions,

Can you not just hear Sid James' chuckle? I admit I bought the stamp not just because it is rather nice but also for the puns.

card is stamped with a prima text stamp, then a basic grey paper with has been torn and stitched is mounted (there's the laugh again) on top and finally the jigsaw with said pear on is stuck on. I used the super sticky tape to do this as I was concerned about dettachment.

All the best

experiment

Dearest Minions,

I feel that this is more successful than the octopig or the cowrilla. I used a text stamp over an old calender photo of tree rings in black staz on and I think that it is rather good.

Sometimes they come back- Darkside challenge

Dearest Minions,

                            This is my entry to the latest darkside challenge. It is a stamped image on to a jigsaw which was painted with Gesso and sponged with distress inks. The text is something that buzzed round my head after I read the challenge. Not fab and clear but was alot of fun to do.

Text says" everyting was fine, days swam into night, I was washed by dreamless sleep. Until the day when I saw the crown on the broken fence. I knew it would begin again. Sometimes they come back."
