i cut a large tag base from sturdy cardboard and then painted it with acrylics. i don't have the highest quality of paints or brushes but i did my best. i did the dots with a white poster paint pen. i wanted to include a snake which is often a subject of aboriginal art but i was also attracted to the idea of a lizard and found this salamander amongst images i'd downloaded for free from dover publications. i printed the salamander on olive kraft paper and outlined a bit with black pen and enhanced the spots and eye with a silver sharpie. the sun stamp is from uptown rubber stamps. i stamped it, colored it with metallic gold and red gold colored pro markers and cut it out to add to the tag. the tag is a little blurry on the right top edge which is due to the scan and not to the quality of the original. i enjoyed experimenting with this. but hopefully i'll be forgiven my weak effort at such a beautiful art form.
love to all.
