Haphazard-Bridge-Stripes 365+1

Maya de Groot and some vintage images

I looked around for something haphazard and the mess of newspapers and books on the dining room table seemed to fit the bill!  I layered up digital papers and vintage images to create the same effect, then added a couple of 'tea' stains just for fun.

As I'm on catch up, I raided my photos to find a bridge.  Behind me is the famous Ponte Vecchio in Florence,  I can't believe it was 2009 and that we were there, it doesn't seem that long ago.

 This was an easy one for me.  I painted these stripes below the dado in my kitchen, hours of painstaking work with masking tape but I really like them.  I made a digital paper to match the stripes, something like that is really easy when you know how.

  3. One of my favourite memories is of a day spent in Florence when I was 16. I have no pics of it, duh. I have one pinned to one of my pinterest boards to inspire me to get back there one day!
