Prima MAY BAP - hello Midsummer!

Hi there!

Hope you're having a beautiful autumn or splendid prelude to summer wherever around our good Mother Earth you are. Stockholm has definitely notched up its summer feel. Today is Midsummer's Eve, the lightest day of the year when day and night are almost one.

I feel as light as the fairies dancing in the meadows at midnight, like the butterflies fluttering over buttercups and daisies, like the sunshine and lapping of water against our shores. Life is good, life is blessed. Thank you Prima for having me as one of your GDTs 2013-2014! Dancing also for all the talented, amazing friends on their new DT - here's to you all - CONGRATULATIONS!

About time to share my Prima MAY BAP. Here's a reminder of the sketch;

 

and my take on it - "Ye Old Mill"

A mix of old and new collections on this one. That's what I think is so amazing with Prima's collections, you can mix and match them with a fabulous result. Everything just goes so well together!

Papers used going from bottom and up:

Fairy Rhymes
Zephyr
Sun Kiss
Divine 

I will let the photos speak for themselves. Misting, masking, pearls, lace, twine, gesso, acrylic paint used throughout my page.

Here I've also used the ornate top piece of the Blue Fern Studios Layered Bordeaux Frame.

The base is Prima Ingvild Bolme Edge Chalker in Dark Bark. Then layers of Mister Huey's in "Water Cooler", TA "Patina" and acrylic paints in Sky Blue, Peking Red, Pumpkin and Gold.

Listening to an amazing young singer, for those of you old enough to remember the British singer Mick Hucknall and the band Simply Red, this is a young version of Mick. Amazing voice! check him out on YouTube:

 JAMES MORRISON "Awakening"

I'll be back in a couple of days to share the two projects I made for the Prima MAY PPP. Till then, toodelipip!xoxox Eila
