QUOTES & LYRICS CHALLENGE.........

 Find a Quote or Lyrics that include the word TRAVEL 

So here are the Doodly Birds back on the road again.  Not with Willie Nelson this time

but with PATSY CLINE.

"Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money

Maybe we're ragged & funny

But we'll travel along, singing a song

Side by side

I think these two must be a bit of a Bonnie & Clyde as they certainly have got a barrel of money on the back of their Doodlebug Frida.

Q & L Sixth Challenge: Flower(s) & Travel

The new words for the Quotes & Lyrics challenge at The Craft Barn this time are Flower(s) and Travel. We are to use one or both words in our work and link them to a quote or a lyric.

I found many excellent quotes and was almost spoiled for choice when I happened upon the song, San Francisco by Scott McKenzie. It was released in 1967 and to many, became the anthem of the 60's. It is a personal favourite of mine. I have a link to the song here if you're up for a bit of nostalgia

I used Neocolor 2s for the background, smooshing them about with baby wipes and then removing some of the colour through a Floral Lace stencil, with another wipe. I used an Andy Skinner stencil for the face, which I embossed with silver EP. 

The flowers are a mixture of peel-offs and hand drawn, all of which I cloured with watercolour pencils. 

I hope you have time to have a look at the art work others have created for this challenge by following the links here

Thanks for looking :o) *Hugs* Mo x

Q & L Fifth Challenge: Art & Road

The new words from The Craft Barn's's Quotes & Lyrics challenge are Art & Road. We are to use one or both words in our work and link them to a quote or a lyric. 
I chose 'Road' as my word - 'The road to success is always under construction' - Lily Tomlin. 

The daffodils were created with watercolour pencils using the very helpful tutorial from Lindsay, The Frugal Crafter's video.

QUOTES & LYRICS CHALLENGE ..... ROAD

The challenge is to find a quote or lyric with the word ROAD in it.

As you can see I have taken Willie Nelson's song 

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

I have drawn a picture of my little VW Beetle and the song is very appropriate as my husband Philip always sings it to me when he is on his way home from working away.

He has put his own twist to it though, I wonder if you know what it is.  The clue is in the picture.

Quotes & Lyrics: Marriage & Age

It is not a sketch but it is in my sketchbook, so I hope it still counts for our SKETCHBOOK FRIENDS BLOG.

Here is my take on this Quotes & Lyrics Challenge.

I have used the lyrics from that old crooner Frank Sinatra

"Love and marriage

Love and marriage

Go together like a horse and carriage"

As you can see there is no carriage and that is because we got married on the beach in Miami, Florida 25 years ago this September and we have been together 35 years in all.

Here is another song for you

"And its getting better, growing stronger"

Q & L Fourth Challenge: Marriage & Age

The new words from The Craft Barn's Quotes & Lyrics challenge are Marriage & Age. We are to use one or both words in our work and link them to a quote or a lyric. I chose 'Age' as my word, and the quote I have used has no known origin, (that I could find), but it is one I am sure many have heard at one time or another;

'Act your age, not your shoe size'.

I really enjoyed creating this and am mostly happy with it, but I do feel something is missing although I cannot put my finger on what that is. Very frustrating.
I hope you will all visit the other links found on The Craft Barn's blog and spread the love.
Thanks for looking, *hugs* Mo
