Photo Challenge Update.....

Jaqi, Rosie and I are enjoying seeing what you've been doing with our special photo this month .... all the entries are unique and lovely. We've also been smiling over 'the mystery of the missing bird'. I think when you see a cage, it only natural to look in the cage for the bird - we didn't think of looking anywhere else at first! But well done Patty - you were the first to mention the bird on the shoulder......well spotted!

Rein has created a wonderful vintage piece with text, stitching, lace, a bird and a flower. Very pretty. We have been intrigued by the number of digital collages this time. This one caught my eye from Glycerine...she has created a gorgeous, almost ghostly image with floating feathers and leaves. For me, it evokes a feeling of time passing by.

Watch out for more examples from Rosie next week!

PS I will showcase everyones work during the last few days before our next challenge (which will be 22nd May).

PHOTO CHALLENGE

Welcome back everyone - and thanks again for your amazing support, suggestions and comments which we've taken on board. This month we have another guest challenger; our lovely friend Jaqi http://jaqi-scrapbookinginmysleep.blogspot.com/
Last week she emailed some wonderful old photos for me to look at which had been found recently in a garage. They are thought to have belonged to Jaqi's great grandfather who was a photographer. She thinks this is a photo of her great aunt Rosina who owned the local bakery in Boldon.
I suggested to Jaqi that this would make a great challenge.....to use this image in our artwork.

Jaqi has created a lovely 12"x 12" scrapbook layout.......

I made a transfer of the picture (using gel medium) on a 5"x 5" chunky canvas then collaged around it ....

.......and Rosie used the image to create a page for a little board book she's making (and made up a story around the picture - as Rosie loves to do!)

(To see more pictures of our work, please visit our individual blogs.)

Thanks to Jaqi for inspiring our challenge..........we hope you'll join in and have a go!

Copy the image to any size you like and make something in any medium that inspires you.

Can't wait to see the results....
