The lines of verse are from a poem by Rupert Brooke, best known for his WW1 Poetry and dying on the battlefield in France.Image of woman from Land of Nod Collage Sheets. The cup is by Berna Datema of SBG but is greatly altered. The background papers are by Phuong Ton at SBG.
Thought about you when I saw Perth on the news relating to the disastrous storm you had yesterday, hope all is well with you, Marie!

ReplyDeletethe circles draw me into this mystic colors... wonderful layering, i always admire your digitals skills!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, I love the colors!
ReplyDeletestunning really love the background and the images
ReplyDeleteThis moved me Marie... especially as I recognised the verse. I used to love reading the war poets - all that time spent in the most terrible circumstances produced such wonderful words and penmanship... Thanks for the lovely words you left on my blog!! Glad I made you laugh!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is such a fabulous digi collage and so clever. You are so very creative.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Seeing this in ones teacup is a great experience!
ReplyDeleteThis is marvellous Marie - I love how the background reminds me of the surface of a cuppa just after you've stirred it. I studied Rupert Brooke for my English Literature exam many moons ago at school and can still remember some of his poetry. Unfortunately, what I remember even better is Peter Sellers' version of the poem you used which ended with the waitress saying "Sorry dear, honey's off"!!
ReplyDeleteQuelle belle réalisation Marie!
ReplyDeleteLes couleurs chaudes sont magnifiques! j'aime beaucoup votre challenge !

Oh, I love your piece, Marie! It all fits so well together :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic collage - I like the strong colours and the energetic composition!
ReplyDeleteThere's something rather mystical about this. Are we looking into the bottom of the cup seeing the future. There's a poignancy with the poetry too - knowing that for poor Rupert and so many like him, time would stop soon and there would be no more honey for tea. I'm seeing a lot of meaning in this!
ReplyDeleteQuite beautiful, Mariw. I could live in tse colors!
ReplyDeletebeautiful the way it's all blended into each other and the movement of stirring the tea comes across
ReplyDeletegorgeous warm colours as well
i truly love these colors and the thought you put into your collage. i like how you created the circular effect that resembles the inside a full cup of tea/coffee. such a beautiful piece marie!
ReplyDeleteThe rich colors are eye-popping, Marie, the quote quite perfect, and the images perfectly-chosen. Another of your masterpieces, Marie!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow ,wow,!!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the colors, and how you see a cirkle in this piece, stunning!!
by the way, im gonna follow you, because i see some amazing pieces!!Hope to see more :)
ReplyDeleteOh you are so clever to choose the perfect quote to transport us to an English country village for a comforting cup of tea. That coupled with your use of lovely spicy colours and superb laying makes this a scrumptious piece Marie.
ReplyDeleteWow, how fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a magical mystical tea ... any tea leaves being read by chance :) Wonderful warmth and depth in your collage Marie!
ReplyDeleteoxo
This is so lovely! Beautiful quote and the whole piece is magical. Cheers!
ReplyDeletebrilliant everything..so much color and texture..gorgeous image
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic idea, I'm excited.
ReplyDeleteAmazing creation! Looks a little bit mystery that lady. Perhaps she reads tea leaves for future when empty the cup?*g*
