TRANQUILITY

Hello everyone, today I am sharing my February  LO for  the Dusty Attic blog  how utterly brilliant are these word chippies  To me  Tranquility  represents me in my garden  In my garden I am in touch with nature and my soul  I feel connected with the beauty which surrounds me . I seek it out , see the detail , the simplicity , I sense the power . I sense what I cant see and I sense what I cant feel . Nature truly lights up dark corners in my world . Mother nature is pure magic.


TRANQUILITY 

 My trade mark - creating  layers of elements reminding me of mother nature.

if we look deeply we can see detail after detail .

I do find nature inspires me and helps me create my layouts .

 the chippies are treated with inks and paints .

I just keep layering until I am happy with the result .
