Monochrome

Hello Everyone--hope your day is going well. We are going to the cinema this afternoon to see The Quartet. Our cinema wasn't going to show it but so many people had asked if they would that they have decided to put it on in one of the smaller screens. It's nice to know that people power is working.

At Craft-room challenge this week the theme is monochrome. It was good to see what that really means as I used to think it meant just black and white but it can be any colour which is much easier for me.

Lots of inspiration from the DT and the entries that have flooded in already. Always lovely challenges here and a friendly team.


I collected together various brown papers and emblies and went from there. The round shape is one I made using crushed eggshells and the flower I painted with brown paint to make it fit in with the theme.

Nice to have you drop by

Love Chrissie xx

    What a great "monochrome" project Chrissie. I haven't tried monochrome so I should put it on my "to try" list.

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
