Breaking the Drought!

Yes, I know it was only a week without creating ... it felt like longer. There are 90 one inch tiles here, all made this long weekend, 63 of them are for Dotee's swap. The other's will make some gorgeous cards later tonight or tomorrow. It was such a joy to create in a way which used so many different ideas, textures and colours; and I am so happy to have my inky fingers back.

The cooking bug has still got me and I now have a huge pot of broccoli soup to divide into freezer containers - after a bowl for now. Yumm! I can eat soup all year round.

Oh Julie, Julie, Julie - your 1" collages are FANTASTIC! As soon as I saw you had posted a picture of them I said ' oh, wow, they are amazing!' to my computer.

I enlarged the picture so I can look at them up close. Each one of them is perfect and so individual. And, don't the colors look so good together!

Love all the faces you have used on several of them! And, those teeny white birds are gorgeous!!!

Every one will be thrilled to see your squares. Me too.

Am so thrilled you took part in this swap. Everything you create is such a treasure (just like you).

You have given me lots of inspiration tonight!

Hi Nat

I bought these from and American e-bay store "Vintage Treasures by Judy". I buy from her quite regularly. Have just put in an order but am happy to order some for you next time if you like. The little brown faces are from her too.

Dot said...

Thanks Nat for asking that question! I was wondering the same thing about the faces :)
Am now going to check out the ebay store Jule (you find the best things).

GAwd Broccoli Soup sounds good !

The collection of one inch art is amazing. I love seeing them all together this way. So fun and enlarging the photo and pouring over them is like a treasure hunt.

Great way to end the drought !
