Madeira: Decorations

Happy New Year

To celebrate I thought I would share photos of the Christmas lights we saw in Madeira.  We were particularly impressed with the ones in Funchal.

 And finally, in Machico.

I hope you enjoyed your trip around the lights of Madeira.
Thanks for stopping by.

January

Happy New Year

It's a new month and a new year on 12 Months in View.

I made a very simple and quick page for my January page and incorporated the flower of the month, the snowdrop.

I sprayed the journal page with Dylusions White Linen and then Dylusions London Blue.  I drew with a pencil through the snowdrop stencil.

I used acrylic paint to paint the flowers and the leaves and filled in the gaps that the stencil had left.

I printed out part of the Wordsworth poem, inked it and stuck it down.  I drew some lines round the edge of the page and put some squiggles.  

Thanks for stopping by.
