Today I have my take on Tims tag to share with you - I loved the techniques involved in this tag and followed them. They can be found here. Here's Tims original....
Here's mine ...
I used Tims stamps and dies and followed the techniques given ..
You can see the plaid here ...
A more arty shot showing off that button - thanks Anne. The sewing is all by hand - that hurt!!!

Thats all for today - I am off North tonight for a weekend at Art Workshops in Teeside - its a mixed media weekend with Rikka Kovasin. I'll let you know how it goes next week.

I really love these tags Rachel, the nibs on them are fabulous.xx {aNNie}
ReplyDeleteGreat tag, Rachel!!! That was brave to sew by hand... since my sewing machine is out of order for a while maybe I should try the hand-stitching like you :-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on Tim's original Rachel, great use of the techniques.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your dad's struggles, aging parents is such a hard journey. Sending big hugs!
Great take on Tim's tag Rachel, Rather you than me with the hand stitching, but it was well worth the effort to get such a great effect. Enjoy your weekend. Mo x
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel, I love your Tag...the sewing looks really good. I'm sorry to hear your dad is feeling low...a wheelchair is a really good idea, fresh air definitely helps..we used to take dad out in a chair and he loved it...people used to make a fuss of him! Take care dear lady, I hope you enjoy your workshops...xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat take on Tims Tag, love it.
ReplyDeleteSending your dad some "feel better" whites and hope he manages to get out in the Fresh air using a wheelchair.

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel, it will be good to get a chair to help your Dad get out and about, I'm sure the fresh are will do him the power of good.
ReplyDeleteFab tag, great elements to it, Kate x
A fabulous tag Rachel, brilliant stitched border - it was well worth the pain.
ReplyDeleteWe bought a wheelchair for my Mum in the end - you can pick them up quite reasonably on Amazon, it's nice to be able to get her out in the fresh air - good exercise for whoever is pushing her even though she is very light!

I love your fantastic version of Tim's tag, Rachel! Your hand stitching is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSending a big healing hug to your Dad! Getting a wheelchair is a very good idea! I am sure he is going to feel much better out in the fresh air! Big hugs! Branka xx
Your tag is lovely Rachel, a great take on Tims. I'm glad your Dad's home, and a wheelchair sounds a great idea. My Grandma finally got one at 94 and she got out far more 'cos it was so much easier and people were so much more patient with her than when she was struggling to walk. Have a great weekend and enjoy your workshop xx
