Pink Saturday/Majestic Feathers Tag Swap

Happy Pink Saturday! Beverly has the full list of bloggers posting about pink this Saturday, so check it out!


Jenny of Fated Follies hosted the Majestic Feathers Tag swap calling for tags, and I quote, "decorated with fancy birds, royal hues, crowns and majestic notions." Oh that sounded fun, so I had to sign up!




I envisioned deep purple tags decorated with peacocks in royal blues and teals, sporting real feathers in their tails. I bought a bundle of peacock feathers on Ebay and was so excited until I noticed the (not so) fine print: they would be shipping from Hong Kong...and would arrive in about 2 weeks. Plan B! I found some fluffy white feathers and sparkly pink crowns had me envisioning bright yellow and pink tags featuring white birds. Of course these tags evolved in the creative process as art projects do and I ended up with these which I really like:



A little pink castle on the back of each tag livens up my contact info (written in pink, of course).

I can't wait to receive the tag booklet of 12 tags each done by a different artist!
.
These tags show that the inclusion of other colors can actually serve to enhance our beloved pink. Doesn't it look even happier and more vibrant next to the cheerful yellow and the snowy white? I think so.


Happy Pink Saturday!

What a l♥vely Pink Saturday blog entry. This is the one day of the week when I get to sit for a couple of hours and soak in my favorite color. Thanks for being a part of that day☺

Great swap!

Wishing you and yours a wonderful family weekend. I will be remembering my father who served in WWII, and praying for all of our military who are in harms' way.

I have to admit, it has taken me a bit of time to warm-up to the art of making tags, but I find my appreciation for them to be increasing steadily. I have always loved birds, and I must say I think your tags today are one of the prettiest I've seen yet!.. Very pretty!

I could not get the email to work, so I will respond here that I totally agree with your comments about that certain TV show. It is sad, and I should have known better than to get caught up in it. At the time, it seemed so innocent and cute to watch the kids interact (and thank God I do not have 8 of them), but you are totally right on about the respect thing.
Thank you for your comments!

PS- You have a gift for craftiness and cooking, and growing, and dog loving! You are the real deal!
