Triangles Challenge

This week's challenge at Just For Fun is triangles and I have just spent hours making my effort and a smaller one to send for the swap. It meant I had something to do during the boring bits of the royal wedding--not many of those because I loved it all lol

I made this wall hanging from an old seed catalogue and the idea came from here -if you look at the link please click on all the pages and see how some of their amazing hangings were used to do a whole wall for an exhibition

                                      This is large one I made from the seed catalogue
This is a small version that I made from a cut down version of a thinner seed catalogue as the big one was too large to send for a swap. Apologies to whoever gets the 'effort' in the swap as it looks far from pretty folded up for posting.

    You always have such great ideas Chrissie. This is brilliant. Thank you for giving the link. It is always a shame to throw out seed catalogues because of their paper and image quality.
    Regards Florence.

A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
