My favorite part of the Summer by the Sea tag book is,
well, the tags . . . here are some pics of the tags pulled
from the book, showing some of their details:

My favorite tag add-ons--lightbulb pins and railway tokens!
I like attaching several tags together, kind of like a mini book-
within-a-book. I think adding the extra bits--real sea shells,
railway tokens, sequins waste, silky seam binding, etc.--gives
the whole thing an added tactile appeal, making the book
even more inviting to dig through, but maybe that's just me.
What makes an arty book inviting to you?

ReplyDeleteYour tags are very pretty and summery. I'm behind on my blog and just read your comment. Did you get a chance to visit Red Lead?
ReplyDeleteOh good grief, Cathy--I forgot to check store hours (they're apparently only open on Saturdays), so was standing out on the sidewalk Friday late afternoon, gawking in the window like some kid at a closed candy store . . .
ReplyDeleteAnd then we left early Saturday morning.
But yes, technically, I guess I DID visit Red Lead!
I wanna make! Are you going to the Rubber Stamp show this weekend?
ReplyDeleteGreat tags!

Hi Trisha: Visit me if you get a moment, there's somethin' somethin' there for you. :)
ReplyDeleteDolly! Yep, going to the stamp show--helping at Our Daily Bread Designs, so that should be fun. I'm looking forward to meeting the Lost Coast people, too.

Such wonderful treasures Trisha, fabulous images, layered beautifully and embellished to perfection.
ReplyDeleteThanks for choosing to share at Tuesday Treasures. Sorry I am a bit late with this but 'life' has got in the way a bit at the moment.
Hope you are having a great week.
