my blog is one year old today

A year ago today, I made my first tag and created this blog, just so I could ‘play along’ with June’s twelve tags of twenty-twelve. 

The continuing monthly challenges in Tim’s 12 tags of 2013, and the inky pinky promise I made to myself to participate, are all a part of the consistent commitment to creativity that inspires me to share.

The welcome and support, the amazing global community Tim has cultivated, extended to me is more I ever could have imagined.

Thank-you all - readers both old and new.

for colouring the images, I would first swipe the markers

 across the paper and then, blend and/or dilute the 

colours with a wet paint brush  

  

  

I missed taking photos of the spattering 

(Broken China and Vintage Photo ink) over all the images 

- I was lost in the moment - this was very messy, 

and highly satisfying
