His Banner Over Me Is Love

My day was spent mostly on this banner.

It was a lot more involved than I had originally thought.

And, that is after I eliminated quite a bit of bling.

At first the white triangles were just for support - a thick water color paper.

But, I had to remind myself that I am only looking to add small touches of red, so it had to go.

For the remaining visible white I still need to add either red and blue buttons or stamped ink dots.

When it's complete I'm hoping to hang it from the peg shelf that is presently on the other side of the room. But, I couldn't wait to try it out.

All day I had a stack of books with vintage pictures of children in front of me. I thought I could collage them onto the water color paper, but I just could not get it right.

So, I'll let this project sit for a while and see what develops.

I do my best thinking when I'm making stuff.
