I see the trepidation and the excitement of discovery here. We all want people to see the finished products. But I'm so glad to see the beginnings of things in a creative journey. You've planted some wonderful seeds here. I hope you've been able to water them so that those roots do grow deep. Your tags are gorgeous -- your first efforts deserved the loving care you gave them. They remind me of Tim's sentiment that says "life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful." This entry is wonderful. So glad you pushed publish :) -- MEMary Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164993867448430380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817270423416767524.post-44680836986654881312015-04-10T07:38:05.302+02:002015-04-10T07:38:05.302+02:00Oh Alison I love your tags, absolutely stunning, f...Oh Alison I love your tags, absolutely stunning, fantastic work.

The colors you've used to treat these blooms are fantastic--Gosh, I need to get some gelatos! :) I just love how you get me wanting to try new things, Alison :) I used to have an ink & pen set myself and found I was just too heavy handed (it's my darn man-hands!) and I gave it up. The beginnings of your ink & pen art journal pages are amazing! If only I could 'doodle' like that :) <br />OH--what ate the ivy? :) I hope it comes back! :) Happy Weekend to you Alison!!
