At the Helm

My husband Terry at his usual spot on the the helm on our boat Mrs Muir.  As soon as I saw the colours for this week's CSI Challenge I knew  I had to use this photograph even though the colours are more about Christmas!

As I am also in the "mood" for patterned paper I thought I would try something different and use gesso on a dark background paper.  I quite like it as it does set off the photograph and simple elements, although it is a bit nerve wracking as the paper really buckles before it dries. 

I really liked the scheme colours and have used just about all the items in the evidence panel:

• twine/string
• paint
• kraft paper
• newsprint paper
• tags
• burlap
• eyelets
• washers

 

 

And I managed to get away with the testimony challenge by journalling on my tag and tying it with twine! 

Thanks for looking and have a lovely weekend.

PS And not a flower in sight!
