Nigel's Desert Island Disc CJ - by Sherry

Fewer songs to choose from now but as you can see

I chose 'The Lark Ascending' by Vaughan Williams.

Beautiful music, but no lyrics to work with!

Luckily, Nigel had provided the reasons behind why

this made his top ten, so I worked with that.

For the front cover one lark is ascending from

what is supposed to be stormy clouds.

I used handmade paper, distress inks and 

some liquid pearls.

Sorry Nigel, this probably looks nothing like the 

abandoned airfield you spent many happy hours

in but let's just say it's my interpretation!

I used Pan Pastels for the sky and fields

and rubber stamped some wild flowers with

distress ink.

It's at times like this I really wish I could draw and paint,

but nevertheless, I like the end result - and maybe

it will be added to before it arrives back home.

I added to all of the previous pages as follows:-

Virginia's 'Brighton Rock' -

I rubber stamped a postage stamp with the Queen's head on.

Sian's 'Tainted Love' -

I rubbed some metallic rub on paste around the

title and added some splodgy rubber stamping.

Pat's 'Ultravox' -

A rubber stamped flourish to the back page

Donna's 'A New England' -

Painted the girls' stockings red to match their lips

Karen's 'Freebird' -
Added a bird to the front cover

 ... and finally to Nigel's own page 'Caroline',
I added a denim heart with 'Quo' written on.

Hope this is all ok and I'm looking forward
(yes, actually looking forward, and not so nervous now)
about the next one!
