Cactus Monday: Prickley-Paisley Tag


Well, this one's a little wild! I love doing these brown paper tags though. The color just pops! This will be part of the CM giveaway. I think I need one more before I draw names. Happy Cactus Monday from rainy Pacific Grove!

  8. You never need to be a wreck. I don't believe you are. While I save you, you can save me right back. With each other we will do what we need too.

    White wine is completely fine. I believe the bar will be well-stocked.

    The poor lady at 90 to lose her companion.

    Did I tell you that my grandmother died at 87 saving her little dog from a fire. The dog lived of course but she did not.

    Love Renee

  12. Yes, I know what she means too. It is terrifying.

    My Mom and Dad took care of the dog and it lived for a long time afterwards.

    Yeah Emma, good dog.

    I read some things on catnapping's blog that you had written and I am sorry to hear that. I know you have reconciled, but I am still sorry to hear it because you are my friend.

    Cancer??? How so.

  21. Thanks for liking my wacky cactus!

    Soulbrush is the only one who saw the eye!!

    KJ...yep, colored pencils work really well on brown paper. They have to be good pencils though, like Prismacolors! I'm going to get you into this...you'll love it :)

  24. This is beautiful! I love the theme, too! Just how are these made? Are they all handmade, or do you buy the tags and add your fabulous illustrations? This is so lovely!

  25. You are quite right about the color popping on this tag. I love the eye looking at all the paisleys reeling around.

  26. wow
    i LOVE your paisley-patterned cactus...
    this pattern is so Iranian... did you know it's taken from a bent cypress?
    this tree is the symbol of life and eternity...
