I decided to go with friendship, as my friends are a precious part of my life, so this is dedicated to them!
As you know, I do like Winnie the Pooh, but decided not to use AA Milne yet again - though I have sneaked it into this post title!
The quote I have chosen is by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, from his poem Youth and Age. It's rather a long poem, but can be found here.
Friendship is a sheltering tree
Started off randomly brayering some Distress Inks (most of the green ones), then threw some water drops at it. Stamped some stylised leaves from Designs by Ryn, and then used one of Ryn's new stencils - the tree one - which I think is fab-u-lous!
I found a large bag of letter tiles - which I have had for a very long time - and which I have used for the quote - it took me ages to find all the right letters!
I do try and visit everyone's entries each fortnight, even though I may not be able to leave a comment because I'm not on all social media sites; so a big thank you to everyone who leaves comments on my Q&L entries - this is for you too!
BEAUTIFUL Kaybee, the stencil and leaves were made for your chosen quote. Loving the tiled words, a fantastic entry:-) xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the quotes that you pick :) Thanks for uploading this to my challenge! Hope all goes well with you!
ReplyDeleteLove the trees and letters.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely atmospheric page and a great quote.
ReplyDeleteThat quote is excellent and I love how you've depicted it
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute to your friends. Fab background and the letter tiles fit in perfectly :)
ReplyDeletethe waterdrops on the background are great. As is that tree stencil. And it might have taken you a long time to find all the letters but the result was worth while the search.
ReplyDeleteThe background is great and I love the trees stamps... a bit zebra like and so original!
ReplyDeleteThe trees are so beautiful. They look very "sheltering." this is beautiful art to match the equally lovely quote. And the way you explained about social media was so much more elegant than mine.
ReplyDeleteFantastic spread, love the quote and the trees, so whimsical!
ReplyDeleteVery excellent page Kay and the quote is very lovely, altho' I do prefer the A.A Milne one, hehe.
ReplyDeleteHow observant of you to think of etch-a-sketch when yu saw my doodle, that's just what it reminded me of too! I couldn't have done it quite so wel tho' haha. Have a great week ahead :o))
Lovely! Beautiful tree and a very true quote!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your piece--from the lovely background to the added dimension of the tiles. I adore the colors, too! Great piece!
