My Name is Salt

Manila Tag

Motivated by Simon's challenge this week (Inspired by a Movie), I've made a tag to share a most memorable documentary recently enjoyed that you might like too.

The film is called "My Name is Salt." Their website describes it this way:

Year after year, for an endless eight months, thousands of families move to a desert in India to extract salt from the burning earth. Every monsoon their salt fields are washed away, as the desert turns into sea. And still they return, striving to make the whitest salt in the world.

The cinematography is excellent and it's a good one to watch when you need something very mellow to relax with.

 “My Name is Salt” is available online worldwide:

Additionally, it’s out on Amazon Video @ http://www.amazon.com and http://www.amazon.co.uk

For views from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, go to

Regarding my tag, I tried to interpret the film as best I could. I made a stamp-resist background with clear embossing power and a variety of texture stamps, Distress inks for tint, an image transfer, gold paint dots along the border and a touch of Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter.

As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.

Until next time, take care.

Sweet Life

This piece was an exercise in texture using a copy of a vintage photo of my great aunt Esther (in the foreground) and a friend.

The photo was hand-tinted, mounted off-center behind tinted and embossed mulberry paper (Botanical Texture Fade), stenciled with script using texture paste (Finnabair Read My Letter) and anchored with tinted book paper and a piece of crochet. The embellishments include lots of hand and machine-stitching, dots of dimensional paint, a vintage button, satin ribbon streamers and a Remnant Rub.

I'm linking up to Simon's Add Texture challenge.

As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.

Until next time, take care.
