Explore Blue Lagoon

Stripes And Mixed Patterns

Hi everyone! I’m spending a cool and cloudy weekend putting together another page for you all. Today is the perfect day to stay inside and be cozy. I picked up crepes from a French restaurant down the street and made some hot tea for a perfect brunch. I can never choose between sweet and savory so I got one of each! What’s your favorite food to eat on a cloudy or rainy day?

The photos I used were from a trip to Iceland back in 2018 (remember international travel) and we took a trip to the famous Blue Lagoon spa. The pools are heated naturally by geothermal energy. Even in the chilly air the water bordered on uncomfortably hot if you stood too close to the vents. They offered free algae mud masks (which is what I have all over my face) and they had a bar IN the pool (hence the drinks.) When we can all travel safely again, I highly recommend visiting if you can!

I started with a piece of pale blue striped paper and cut a diagonal stripe of gray and white scalloped paper. Since it was cut diagonally and longer than my 12 X 12 guillotine paper cutter, I had to cut it with scissors. I can never cut a straight line to save my life so I’m proud this time it doesn’t look too terribly crooked. I traced an upside-down bowl to make the circle and used some black and blue ribbon to embellish.

This page was created for the Sketched in Thyme February challenge. I stayed pretty true to the sketch but added embellishment clusters like I normally do, complete with enamel dots (of course!) These ones were from My Mind’s Eye Tutti Frutti pack.
