Tartan pieces

 A recycle page in my 8 x 8 inch journal.

No inks or stencils on this side of the page, it was pieces  of material from the tartan scraps bag I picked up when we visited a  tartan Manufacturers  in Scotland last week.

The Red Kite was  cut from a magazine,the other few additions I had in a bits bag.

This is how the spread looks  some of the left

 side of the page had been stencilled.

I tore the piece of the poem by Blake

 from the same article about the Red kites in the magazine

The label I made when I got back home and added a little more  colour .

I decided to leave this  as it now stands. 

We did see a few of these birds while we were away and they are so graceful

 as they swoop to catch their prey.

I will add this page over at

 Art Journal Journey

and Alison's

 theme of Recycle/collage

 as it is all made from pieces normally thrown away, but to a crafter these sort of items are gold and  always  treasured  to be used at a future date. 

Mind you no one ever told me it might be months or even years before many

 would  be used.

We had had a lovely visit to the Tartan Manufacturers and spent some time in the shop, where  I was allowed to take photos. But as  there were many folk around I can only share a few.

Thank you for calling in to see me today, you are all always welcome here
