Tag Tuesday - The Spoon



New PlayersIMPORTANT - please remember to leave a comment when you post your art tag on Mr. Linky! It sends me an email that alerts me you have posted a tag!

Wow, what wonderful Strawberry Tags you all came up with!! It really inspires me to see each and every tag - thank you for playing!


Okay, I admit this is a bit different, but let's stretch! Don't be put off by the theme this week, just give it a try! Use a spoon in some manner on your tag - it can be an actual spoon, a picture of a spoon, or a drawing of a spoon, etc. Give your spoon a wig or a hat and a dress, or make into something else. It could be a pendulum, a support for a building, something a vine grows around or even from the old nursery rhyme where the fork ran away with the spoon.

The background for my tag is from a large collage I made on Tyvek of fabric, papers, fibers and acrylic paints. I've been cutting it up to use for postcards, tags, ATCs, etc. My Mother used to collect spoons from every state when she and Dad traveled and when she passed, nobody else wanted them and I just knew I could find a use for them! This one was missing the little "gem" at the end, so I replaced it with a glass pebble from 7 Gypsies. Everything else is from old jewelry parts and I sewed the collage onto the tag.

Thank you for visiting the other artists - we all appreciate a kind word (me too!). And if you'd like to read today's Tuesday story on my other blog, click here...

HAVE FUN!

  1. Your tag is fantastical! I love that you used Mom's spoon and your Tyvek. All the embellishments are so pretty! You have certainly gotten a lot of good and special creations from that collage! I love seeing all the really unusual twists you put on everything and the colors and textures. What an awesome story! The photos make it come alive! Love you!
