Final Two Tip Ins!!

Hmmmm, yes, you can tell that these were the final two... but they are mine and I can sort them out properly when they come back home to roost...

All the worlds a stage... one of my fav Shakespeare quotes... oh yes, my subject for this group was 'theatre' but I also wanted it to tie in with my other subject...

which was Shakespeare... and I had another sheet of that pretty brown and gold paper out on the desk so that is what I used!!  LOL   I think it matches his brocade jacket with the braiding quite nicely.... that's my story and for the moment.... that's the one I'm sticking to!  

OK... got to go and put some clothes and get these little beggars in the post!!

Tip In Swap Pages....

It's the final countdown... just a couple more to go and I can leg it up to the post office and get these in the post!!

This is jainethepain's page on positive thinking... I figure love is a very positive thing and these papers haven't photgraphed very well as they have some lush gold in them that doesn't seem to show up...

This is MrsMcF's page and she chose 'on this day in 1861'.... well I was stumped as I couldn't figure out how to do a page on the birth of Italy or the American Civil War and then Chris phoned me last night and made a couple of suggestions one of which was the first colour photograph!!  That will do nicely dear, thank you very much!!  The first colour photograph was of a tartan ribbon... and with a name like MrsMcF I am sort of banking on the fact that there may be some Scots heritage in her family tree...

The negative (which is actually a paintchip for coloured stains and see through plastic and I thought would work for a large photo negative)  lifts up to reveal the journalling information which reads:

The first colour photograph, 1861

The first colour photograph was produced by James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879)

Maxwell's photographer took three different photographs of a tartan ribbon, each with different coloured filters; these were used to make three positive slides lantern slides which then projected together on a screen to make a colour photograph.

Two more to go.... and they are mine.... so anything goes!! ;)

Tip In Swap Pages contd...

This is T-Ann's page - her subject was sun and moon... so I took her at her words and have given her just that...  it took ages for the texture paste to dry and then I coated the sun and moon with silver and gold relief paints which added some more depth.

This is Netty's page and her chosen subject was the seaside... I'm hoping she doesn't have heart failure when she sees it as I never draw and I cannot paint... so why the heck did I decide to do both on hers???  Blame the fact that I picked up a packet of acrylic paints at the dollar store and they were sitting on the corner of the desk when I sat down to her page... LOL
