We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

PROUD to be a pirate - savvy?

We've reached no 12 in the Craft Barn's Q&L challenge, and the words are VINTAGE and PROUD.

Now, I am a little partial to Johnny Depp, and I love all the Pirates of the Caribbean films, so when I found this quote - well - search over!

My daughter was asked by a little old lady in
a London hotel restaurant what her daddy did.
She answered, "He's a pirate" - 
I was very proud of that answer.
Johnny Depp

Decided to be a bit minimalist this time, so started with a simple watercolour background wash - well, given the recent adventures on holiday it would be churlish not to!  Then added a couple of stamped images.  The quote is printed on a treasure map!


Yo ho me hearties!

  5. You may call this minimalist, I call it attention to detail. From the map laden scroll to the ship to the background that looks like a mist, your piece is simply stunning.
