He Loveth My Soul

This weeks theme for Tag Tuesday is "vintage" and for it I pulled my inspiration form my victorian jet mourning jewelry collection along with a antique mourning dress that I own.

I used black crepe from a part of the mourning dress that is starting to rot away and stitched it directly onto a large shipping tag that I painted black.

With a needle and pearl cotton I attached bits and pieces of jet trim from my collection. I adore the soft brown color that old black fades to ~

I used a pice of old trim that still had some of the fabric it was taken from along with the old threads still attached to the trim.

I attached a small china head doll onto a old steel cut beaded shoe buckle along with the title words from the hymnal: "He Loveth My Soul"

Tag Tuesday

"WHITE"

White is the theme for this week Tag Tuesday. White truly inspires me, it is my favorite color and
I guess you could even call the color white my muse, its grounds just about everything that I do.

(I made this video so I could share with you all of the layers.)

Music is: l'evidence by Pauline Croze

I once again used the same size tag for my base along with 20 tags in various sizes combined with paint, fabric and thread to create this interconnected collection of altered tags.
