Meg and the Pig for AJJ


Hi I'm Meg.

In my garden there is...................... A pig...

  Its   not a real pig, just this stone one that lives in the shrubbery.
It doesn't do much and won't pay ball or stick, it just sits there all day and does nothing.
I'd much rather chat to the one over the fence  on this journal page









First stages of my digital altering are here on the left.
Again elements from Mischief circus kits.




The original  base  is this cross stitch. piece  I stitched a good number of years ago. The photo was taken through glass and isn't as good as it is in real life.

Another page for July  over at
Art Journal Journey

where you will find lots of inspiration
for the theme

Thank you for calling by and for taking time to leave me a comment, they are always appreciated.

  8. I'm glad your mom let you be a guest hostess today Meg. I think your story about the pig is cute. I know, stone pigs aren't as fun as balls that my mom throws for me, and my brother Pete loves to chase squirrels, but I don't quite get the hunt thing because like you, I think I have more herder in me.

  16. LOVE how Meg is talking to the pig. Great conversation, I'm sure. Much better than talking to a carved stone.
