Philippines tags - 3 & 4

Here are the final 2 tags in the Philippines group....

....again, strips of prepared pares, fabrics and some Angelina fibres.

I added a Fimo piece in my book sample simply because I liked the look of it... :-)



The finished 4 tags were strung with some hand-dyed silk thread...

...which were then plaited to tie the set together.




I'm minded to do another couple of page spreads for the Philippines....

....maybe I can blog those on the weekend...

Have a great day.

p.s.

I didn't want to do a second post today...

...but you WILL forgive me if you follow this bit down to the YouTube vid!

Going a bit senile lately, I can't remember who I was telling about this, but I KNOW it was someone who reads this blog so ...

...I've just had a snoop around on YouTube for this snippet from the early 90's..

...and FOUND IT! Yey!!!

(YouTube is such a miracle - I thought that I would never have the utter pleasure of listening to this bit of program again!!)

I remember crying with laughter when it was going out live....

...and the day after when they played it again on the same show...

...and it happened again this morning when I listened to it again!

I make no apologies for the exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!

This proves beyond doubt that a completely-losing-it- good belly-laugh is better than anything else to lift the spirits and blow the bad-weather cobwebs away :-)

ENJOY
