Yes, it is time for another installment of tattered tags.
This time I will be featuring one of my favorite Graphics Fairy images.
I call her Pearl the Cowgirl.
I soaked some shipping tags in some tan Rit dye.
Let them dry in the sun.
Some of the brown reinforcements came off but I glued them back on.
Distressed with some turquoise ink.
Stamped with a wood grain in brown.
Distressed with brown ink.
Stamped "Prairie Life" on the back.
Mod Podged Pearl the Cowgirl to the front.
Used torn stained calico ribbon for ties.
(I just threw everything - cloth, tags, paper into the dye bath to use up all the dye in the water.)
Cut the stained calico into yard lengths and wrapped each tag with two different fabrics.
Secured the torn cotton ribbon with a rusty safety pin with a vintage watch face.
Now it is time for Pearl to mosey on over to Etsy and some of her sisters to mosey over to my booth.
They are -
Definitely Tattered.
Definitely Prairie.
Definitely Primitive.
See y'all!
