Day Dreaming

Day Dreaming Day Dreaming


The photo challenge in this weeks BeStill52 photo class was to shoot a vignette that included bunting (or ribbon, or something draped).  I'm also joining Texture Tuesday today!

I made the tiny bunting in these images by cutting diamond shapes from pages pulled from an old paperback, pressing the edges into a brown ink pad, stamping the letters in black ink, and folding the paper pieces over a brown string to create the triangle flags. I hung the bunting with strips of polka dot patterned Washi tape.

This photo challenge gave me a chance to play with my "new" old stack of worn and weathered books.  I love the frayed edges, the spines, and the brown-aged pages of old books!

I used three of Kim Klassen's textures on the image above - Sonnet, Goldenhour, and PumpkinGrunge.  I also used one of Kim's wreath stamps (from her mini holiday brush set) to add texture, and repeat the swag shape, in the background behind the bunting.  I used Kim's Cinnamon texture in the image below.

    Your bunting is so creative! Your 'new' old collection of books are so photogenic. My favorite is the top image I love the vintage feel.

    These are lovely. My favorite is the first one - your processing really suits the old books; it makes them look ancient.

    I love old books but am sad my eyes just do not like books anymore so Kindle it is for reading. Beautiful texture and gives me the urge to go make tea and soak in the sun by a window and read. You also reminded me to pull a few of my roses out of the jar and let dry for another day.

    Absolutely wonderful. Your bunting is fantastic. I love the way you have tied each piece together with the tassel in-between.

    Such gorgeous pictures Sheila! My favorite is the first of the series for its moody and romantic style... I imagine the fun you had making your lovely bunting (thanks for the detailed tutorial!)... its decorative effect is undeniable and I guess you'll like to use it in other compositions...
