Time for the March ABS challenge !
this month's inspiration is Le Moulin a Poivre by Vincent Van Gogh
Wonderful muted colors with pops of bright red and blue!
some great graphic shapes there too
However, I was immediately struck by the subject matter.
Maybe because Spring is right around the corner
Springtime in France ,ah sweet romance ..........Maybe because Spring is right around the corner
A while ago ,I purchased a roll of amazing cotton ribbon .
It is a soft white, printed all over with French phrases and postmarks . Perhaps from love letters...
See the couple in the painting ? They look a bit older to me.
Are they strolling arm in arm ,remembering the love letters they exchanged when they were young?
I was swept away by my imagination
I added a few hearts and some blue bell blossoms .
What is romance without flowers !
To show show off my prized ribbon, I tied a big bow.
The shape seems to reflect the windmills.
Why did I add the bee ? for Napoleon of France ,
for my own shop name ,for the Buzz of a new romance...LOL!
Must I be totally honest?
I used it 'cause it's cute,matches the copper chain and balances the teeny blue hearts!!!
Not every element has to be significant does it ?
This is just a simple Springtime design .
A little something easy breezy to wear when the weather grows warmer.
I am far too involved speculating about the story of the people in the painting ,than to dwell on the elements of my design....
I like to think my necklace tells the the story of their love.....
This week let your creations
tell a storyand Bead Happy
M.E.,
