Beatrix Potter's, The Tailor of Gloucester
Oh indeed!! I know they mentioned it over on the blog the day they put up the challenge, but yes, as a child I too was drawn into many Beatrix Potter stories by her amazing artwork.
I believe she is the reason I am not afraid of mice and think they are beyond cute and believe that all animals in the forest have the coolest of little homes tucked away in a tree somewhere!
Here's my (late to the party today) post for the
The minute I saw the picture, I could think of nothing else but pink ribbon and cord with some wood beads, rose quartz and of course, pearls.
I hope you'll take a moment to check out all the other participants from the "We're All Ears" monthly challenge and see their lovely pieces created with the inspiring artwork of Beatrix Potter's, The Tailor of Gloucester's picture.
Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Childhood Memories!

ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I read that about you believing that animals have the coolest homes tucked away in the forest and not being afraid of mice, because that is the way I feel too. Love your interpretation, they're perfect!

You really captured the colors in the piece beautifully and that spot of pink with the fiber is perfect! I love your wire work too.
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of pink and brown, and your use of wood to pick up on the tree in the picture is perfect. Better late than never! Glad you joined in!
ReplyDeleteThese have such great colors and textures. I love your wire wrapping, too.
ReplyDeleteI loved your comment about mice! :) Using the wood bead was a great interpretation of the "woods" in the illustration. Why didn't I think of that??? Your colors are gorgeous, and I love the pink ribbon.
