bit of steampunk for tag tuesday

better late than never! there are a few days left for the "bit of steampunk" challenge at tag tuesday. given that steampunk is one of m favorite themes i would have posted sooner but i've had a busy past few weeks. so finally, here are two digital tags for the challenge.

both tags include elements from gecko galz, (vintage) dezinaworld, and from the fantastical steampunk collaboration at mischief circus.

i'm also linking to the take a word challenge for this week which is "lock and key," as my first tag features a key.

enjoy and love to all!

tea garden memories

for take a word this week we are invited to create with asia in mind. this made me think of my childhood growing up in san francsico, california, visiting the japanese tea garden at golden gate park. this creation is a poor homage to those days but it was always so much fun exploring the pagodas, koi ponds, the amazing landscaping and always ending the excursion having japanese tea and treats at the tea house.

images here are from pixabay, itKuPiLLi imagenarium and (retired) miles beyond the moon.

enjoy; love to all.

chasing windmills

 the theme this week at take a word is "windmills." i recently learned that the book Don Quixote is the fiction novel that has sold the most copies in the US! so that inspired this creation.

images from pixabay and mischief circus. the quote is from the book.

love to all.
