F..(fe-fr)....

We are taking a short trip this week and I thought I would have to wait until I came home to do this fortnight's letter for the Craft Barn Challenge but I found a word and the juices started flowing .  The word I chose is "Firmament" and in my old dictionary it is explained as "the sky viewed, originally a a solid expanse with stars fixed in it: the region of the air."
I was inspires by these two images I found 

There are mancoloured versions of the sencond picture so here is mine

The stars are actually gold metal not black and they shine.  I painted the background with watercolours for a change, the village is made up from images stamped onto card, painted and collaged.  I am sorry I can't name designer but they are unmounted and I have had them for years. The sun is made from a a brayer clean off sheet from a gelli session. The angels are punched out of another gelli sheet as are the letters die cut with a Tim Holtz alphabet.
The thing I like best about this page is,  it has used things I have had for years. Here it is with it's tag.
