Books Mags or Brochures challenge

I had to think a lot about this for sure as the crafty bit of my brain seems to have been left behind in Skegness and the sunshine.

I used this brochure

and made a little woven basket--something my gran taught me to make from newspaper about 60 years ago. I put in a piece of very old tissue paper and made some flowers from book pages. Not sure it would have passed my gran's critical eye but my fingers aren't as nimble these days as they were years ago.

    I remember those now, what a lovely idea and I guess we could do that with stamping images on pieces of paper. Mmm now where have you got my mind wandering off to.
    Love your basket of flowers - I just love handmade flowers with text upon them. Thanks so much for sharing with at JFF - Hugs, Neet x

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. 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
