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.
This looks nice.....I love the dog...lol....have one myself, a Border Collie....
ReplyDeleteThe cross stitch piece is lovely to start your digital thing.....I stitched a lot of things when I was young.....Don't cross stitch anymore..... do you??? But I love what you did with the original picture......
Have a lovely day, xxx Plony

A fabulous page, I love the image - it must have taken you a long time to do the cross stitch.

ReplyDeleteDarling page, and love your cross stitch piece. Cute piggy in your garden too!

Beautiful piece Yvonne. Love the cross stitch base idea, gives it a real natural texture. Meg is such a doll and I love your stone pig, nice!! hope you had a great weekend! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteI'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.

LOVE how Meg is talking to the pig. Great conversation, I'm sure. Much better than talking to a carved stone.
ReplyDeleteA very clever and fun design Yvonne, love Meg and the pig looking at each other. Brilliant xxx
