Swing High...

I can't believe it's nearly the end of June already, this
year is flying by!! I made this piece for a COF and also
for Mixed Media Monday where the theme this week
is 'Places' .. my place is swinging in the garden which
I spent hours doing as a child :o)
The photo's aren't great sorry, after what felt like the
50th attempt I went with the first two lol

this is gorgeous Emma, you are back with a bang. Ingenious use of the handmade paper, you are going through a major creative progression at the moment and it's fantastic.

I think this is so pretty. I love the image and how you added the little bits for the flowers. I can't believe it is June either. Half the year has gone by and it seems like Christmas is right around the corner....aaaaaaaack! Have a great day :)

Oh Em, your memory has been captured so beautifully in this piece. It is dreamy and I'm sure dreaming was part of swinging...it almost always is. Absolutely lovely.

I spy flower soft! used beautifully I might add. This is a really beautiful piece and one of my favourite images. I love playing on the swings as well (I nearly said I like swinging, but decided that sounded a bit dodgy) I like to swing high and then jump off!
