Secrets of the Sea Tall Tag Swap

I just finished a tag swap with Red Lead Paper Works Art Sisters group on Yahoo. It was super fun!  We had to make 3 tags and use the following products from Red Lead Paper Works: 3 Tall Tags (4-1/4”x8-1/2” manila tags) and any of Red Lead’s exclusive Sea rubber stamps. Here are the three tags I created.





For my 3 tags I used Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks to color my tag.  After the tags were dry, I misted them with Perfect Pearls Mist.  I chose the Star Fish Collage rubber stamp for my background and the Along the Sea stamp for the mini tag.  I tore a strip of manila tag board and glued along the right side of the tag to represent the "beach."  I inked it a little with Antique Linen Distress Ink and then dabbed on Snow Cap Adirondack Acrylic Paint to make it look like Sand.  The word Beach (discontinued Sizzix die) was cut out of card stock, painted with Snow Cap Adirondack paint.  I then applied Glossy Accents and sprinkled on a fine, white sand.  The images I used are some scraps I had left over from Graphic 45's On the Boardwalk collection.  I finished the tags off with some charms I made from shells, beads, and some little metal starfish.  

Here are the tags I received:  

This is by Cathy Doan.  So creative--I love it!

This tag is by Debbie Moon and it is really cool!  The bottom of the tag is like a little shadowbox filled with little treasures from the sea.  

Kathleen Leanna is the artist that made this very creative tag. Click to get a closer look--it is beautifully done.

French antique Object d'Art circa 1860

French antique Object d'Art circa 1860
- Inspired by Aesops fable The Stork and the Fox -

Every now and then we run into a piece that is the cherry on our antique jewelry cake. Such is the case with this ring. So much to see, the story behind it, so much to find out about and the pleasure of holding something in your hands showing such high level of craftmanship.... one of the true pleasures in our trade.

We hope you will enjoy looking and learning about this ring as much as we did! 

Antique jewelry - Object d'art - French antique Victorian object depicting Aesops fable The Stork and the Fox from the antique jewelry collection of Adin Antique Jewelry Store, Antwerp, Belgium

Aesop's fable: "The Stork and the Fox"
 
At one time the Fox and the Stork were on visiting terms and seemed very good friends. So the Fox invited the Stork to dinner, and for a joke put nothing before her but some soup in a very shallow dish. This the Fox could easily lap up, but the Stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it, and left the meal as hungry as when she began. 

 "I am sorry," said the Fox, "the soup is not to your liking." "Pray do not apologize," said the Stork. "I hope you will return this visit, and come and dine with me soon." 

So a day was appointed when the Fox should visit the Stork; but when they were seated at table all that was for their dinner was contained in a very long-necked jar with a narrow mouth, in which the Fox could not insert his snout, so all he could manage to do was to lick the outside of the jar.

"I will not apologize for the dinner," said the Stork: "One bad turn deserves another."

Smile, Smile, Smile

I spent time in the my studio today--just me, Josie, and some old songs (it was a wonderful day).  I heard the song "Powder Your Nose with Sunshine (Smile, Smile, Smile) and have been humming it ever since.  Take a minute and listen--you will love it!  This version is by Evelyn Knight and the Stardusters (1948).  

(available from iTunes)

Here are the lyrics:

"Powder Your Face With Sunshine"

Powder your face with sunshine
Put on a great big smile
Make up your eyes with laughter
Folks will be laughing with you in a little while
Whistle a tune of gladness
Blue never was in style
The future's brighter when hearts are lighter
So smile smile smile
Powder your face with sunshine
Put on a great big smile
Make up your eyes with laughter
Folks will be laughing with you in a little while
Whistle a tune of gladness
Blue never was in style
The future's brighter when hearts are lighter
Future's brighter, hearts are lighter
When you're wearing a great big smile 

- words and music by Carmen Lombardo and Stanley Rochinski
