I do hope my mini-quilt's 'pockets' full of posies qualifies for this week's challenge as it took a lot of 'head-scratching' to come up with this!
Background & pocket textures by Joe'ssistah Flickr, Kate Greenaway's nursery rhyme illustration - freebie at gutenberg.org, stitches brush from myphotoshopbushes.com and finally the 'posies' are 'cut' from a few my inherited collection of 70 year old Kensitas woven silk cigarette card inserts.
fantastic art - I love how it's put together - you have great ideas Judy xx
ReplyDeleteOf course it qualities! It's perfect, and reminds me of childhood times as well! Beautifully done, Judy.
ReplyDeleteJudy, this is exquisite and so delicate and beautiful. I love it. My small grandchildren sing that very old nursery rhyme so it is close to my heart. What a great idea to choose a rhyme about pockets to illustrate the theme. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI loved ring around the roses when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteDo children still play that game today? I hope so.
Love your artwork, love your pockets…
