Friendship and Steampunk

Monday is here again and that means Every Inchie Monday has a new challenge-well hopefully it has as I am scheduling this post

The subject this time is 'friendship' and I have made 2 inchies. one from 1948 and the other from 2005



The one of the left was taken when me and my best friend were 6 years old and had been chosen to dance for a May day celebration--we look less than happy.

The second one is us in 2005 still friends even though I live well North and she lives well South . We meet somewhere for a few days and pretend we are schoolgirls once again. This was on a trip to Nottingham where we had an amazing time exploring so many things in the City. We had on the 'hats' as we were going down under the city to explore the caves. It is an amazing trip with lots of history so if you are ever in Nottingham be sure to go there--and to the lace museum--and the law courts---and the church---- and the wonderful park with a museum--and so much more.

The next challenge is at Anything but a Card and the theme this time is Steampunk. I have been thinking about  making another Steam punk character for a while now so that I can continue my story about my other characters.

This is the one I have made for this challenge and so far he is just called the Magician. I think he is going to be rather sinister!.

All of my characters up to now have been loosely based on the ones that are in the wonderful Steampunk Softies book by Sarah Skeate and Nicola Tedman.


Hope your day is going well

Love Chrissie x

    Fabulous inchies, with a lovely story. My friend came to stay with us last week, and we have known each other for 66 years, since we stared at each other through the garden gate.
    Love the steampunk as well.

    Silence of the lambs! Your magician looks supercool Chrissie, would make a fine adornment for Halloween, too, I think! And your inchies are just lovely, what a wonderful tribute to friendship! Hugs, Ira x

Tag and Journal page design

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
