Not only that, but I also only just managed to get back in time to take part in the Every Inchie Monday challenge for this week, as well as the Tag Tuesday challenge. Gulp. As the inchie challenge week finishes today, I thought I had better get cracking on that one first. The theme for this week was "mirthful". That immediately made me think of jolly old garden gnomes with their red apple cheeks and their twinkly eyes and their ever present mirthful laugh. The gnome image came from a book I have had for 30 years, and which I adore, simply titled "Gnomes", by Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen.
Here it is then, my "mirthful" inchie -
It turned into a bit of a 3-dimensional inchie, because of his rather big cap. I scrunched it and pulled it straight up, and I quite like the effect.
Thats it for now, got sooooooooo much reading to do and Tag Tuesday challenge tag to make.

Welcome back, Liz! Your inchie is cute and so funny!!!
Since you had forgotten to pick me up on your way South, you had that lovely trip without me and I'm pouting as you can imagine ;-). Hopefully you thought at least of me while having some awesome French food, visiting some antique shops or brocantes or while searching for some caches.
Have fun during the next days visiting all the OWOH participants and I'm looking forward to seeing what you will come up with :-).
Big HUGS,
Julia
PS: My word verification is "dishess". Doesn't that sound like a royal dish?
Liz, dear friend.
