Titania - Photo Manupulation

 
 
 
Inspired by Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. My favourite of all his plays. :-)

Second illustration in my Shakespeare Heroines collection.
See Juliet here:
Titania has always been my favourite. Here's a quote to set the stage:

I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violets grows
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet muck- roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania some time of the night
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight.

Juliet


 Illustration inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

"It was the lark, the herald of the morn, No nightingale."

I am one of those mad people who actually really like Shakespeare. I love the way he uses language and sometimes it totally takes my breath away. I remember reading it as a school girl and whilst all my class mates were complaining about having to read Shakespeare, I went to the library to read more. Mad, I know. :-)

Seashells by the Seashore - Mobile

This is a present for Steve. It's his birthday today. :-)

The large shells and the razor clam shells plus the feather are from Holme Beach, the rest - recycled glass beads, sea glass, fossil, sea urchin and other shells and the lava cube beads - are from my stash. I've used two types of hemp, metallic thread and gunmetal wire to attach everything to the aluminium hand shaped hanger.

It was fun to make and I am considering to make some more. I'll have to go to the beach again to collect some more shells and feathers first though. If you're interested in a mobile like this, let me know. :-)
