wow what a thunderstorm we had last night - very loud and loads of flashes of lightening!! I love them and luckily for me my tiddlies don't bat an eyelid either. My eldest sat with me waiting for the lightening to flash and my youngest went straight off to sleep at bedtime and slept right through the loudest claps of thunder bless him!
I'm thoroughly enjoying this challenge still, even though I'm notoriously late to submit most of the time!! If you fancy a peek to see what it's all about and all of the other beautiful T entries please pop on over HERE.
Anyhoo, my chosen word for T is Tantalus, the journaling on the spread explains all........
Next came some stamping, with one of Tim Holtz's classic sets by Stampers Anonymous, to create a border.
I then added the picture (sourced from google) which had been colour-washed with inktense pencils.
The journaling explains the mythology - I hope you can read it ok??
Many thanks for popping by and leaving a comment if you feel you would like to, your time and thoughts are always greatly appreciated.
Huge hugs

Dawn, this is simply INCREDIBLE and TANTALIZING (that's a T word)! Seriously, I'm really impressed you kept with your theme and found so many of these "gods."
Isn't it fun to see happy accidents? That touch of purple made a stunning accent.
Very cool spread and your journalling was easy to read - those old gods were not very nice - were they. Loved how you put it all together.
Wonderful pages Dawn. That googled image fits perfectly with the stamps and I love the touches of purple to it but yes I'm surprised how those two DI reacted - must try that.
:)
Love this spread and your mythological lessons, thanks for sharing doll! xox
Your pages are wonderful - so creative and so well done!
