Craft Like An Egyptian.....

Hello.... I hope you are all well and enjoying the weekend. Big hugs to those who are not feeling good and I hope you feel better very soon.

I'm back with something that I made just for fun... sometimes it's nice to be inspired by something and just go with the flow....

I watched a Series on Egyptian Art a few months back and found it really interesting... it got me thinking about the colours that they used and also the patterns etc. and the pictures of people, animals and nature that lived in Egypt long ago.

Anyway, I thought I would do a picture to represent England and Nature in present day time.... so wondered what animals I could use and then remembered this lovely Owl set of Stamps that was a gift from my lovely blogging friend Debs... thanks hun! I think owls are perfect as they often represent wisdom! ;-)

I stamped the images onto a Papyrus Paper background... used a pattern stamp that was freebie in magazine for a border... I used Copics and kept to the colours of brown, gold and blue, so hopefully it has an Egyptian feel to it... the chipboard frame was a freebie with a magazine... and I've painted it with Acrylic Paint.

Looking at the picture now.... I might go over the blue in the border with a deeper shade... it looks a little pale... still not sure about the frame... it might look better in a square frame? but then I quite like the brown card surround? Lol ... ah well... it was a creation just for fun and I really enjoyed doing it! :-))

aren't they the cutest owls ever!! :-))

Ah well, better get back to my crafting.... I have a few Birthday Cards to make for next month.  Looking forward to The Crimson Field later.... and my daughter and I are catching up with Game of Thrones! :-)) 

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday evening!

Love and hugs
