Craft Barn Q&L 21 - Nowhere/Hug
This fortnight's Q&L challenge from the Craft Barn is Nowhere/Hug. Whilst my lyric flew straight into my head, I did check out some quotes too, and found a couple I really liked. But, sticking with my first instinct "Nowhere Man" - the Beatles, of course. I decided to keep it fairly simple, with a Sixties kind of feel...
I started with a layer of gesso, then Antarctic Fresco, before stencilling Turquoise through the 12x12 Burst stencil (crafters workshop)
I stamped my small Umbrella Man on a scrap of paper, omitting his umbrella, and cut him out, sticking him to the centre of the stencilled pattern.
I knew I wouldn't fit all of the words in, but wrote as much as I could, as neatly as I could!

This is absolutely superb. I'm always impressed when there's real handwriting, something I'm just no good at any more. And I really like how you positioned your man in the center of the stencil paint. It really called attention to him.
I thought this was a wonderful entry, and you KNOW I'll be singing that song all afternoon!
Fantastic page Helen works really well. Great choice of lyrics xx
Wow, love the page, what a great interpretation of the song. The stencil is fab :)
oh what a great page Helen Excellent!!!
Very excellent choice of song and the single umbrella-less man in the centre of that awesome stencilling is just wonderful!! Have a great week ahead :D
A wonderful page!!!
Simply brilliant Helen! x
Fabulous hun - as always !
I just said to Elizabeth that I bet hardly any one will be abe to do a 'nowhere' entry..and look at you! Seriously, my imagination needs an overhaul! Love this.
Snap! It was the first song that popped into my head too and I love how they are both completely different. Your Nowhere man looks great in the centre of ..... nowhere!!
LOVE!! It's a fantastic page!
Fab Helen, the Burst stencil resembles the spokes of the umbrella and centres the page and image. Well done for handwriting. Xx
love this, great page
the stencilling looks like rainburst and just adore the umbrella man even without umbrella.
That stencil works really well behind your stamped image.
A very cool page!
Love the Beatles and love your entry this week! In truth it is the first thing that popped into my head, but I could not think of what to do with it, LOL! Have a great weekend!
Love your umbrella man at the centre of the world! and yes I get a 6os psychedelic vibe with the stencilled motif...
Brilliant, totally forgot about this song. Love that burst stencil background
Great background. Always love the umbrella man. Fabulous quote, too.
I love how you have done this page. Especially the background.
My choice of lyric as well! Your interpretation is completely different though. Love your page and it is a worthy winner. Congratulations.
