Another fortnight and another set of words for The Craft Barn's Quotes and Lyrics Challenge - this time HUG and/or NOWHERE. There are many good quotes for both words but no image popped into my head and then I thought of Nowhere Man by The Beatles.
Having visited Wikipedia I see Nowhere Man was written 49years ago this week and was The Beatles first song not about love, but written by John Lennon with a more philosophical bent. Tricky to depict a Nowhere Man so I went for a 1960s kaleidoscope of colour - a never ending wheel to nowhere etc etc. The background is a mix of all the bright Distress Inks I own, blended and spritzed with water etc. I've then used my Studio Calico Circle Graph Stencil - inked through with Versamark, clear embossed and then inked over with Faded Jeans Distress.
I love it - not sure it has anything to do with The Beatles and the swinging 60s but I think it's bright and cheerful!! Thanks for visiting and for all your comments on my last entry - very much appreciated!!
PS. Having linked this up I saw Helen's page using the same lyrics and thought mine was definitely missing a man. I rummaged and found my man stamp (freebie from Craft Stamper) so I've added my Nowhere man too!
I love your bright colours, how funny that we should both have chosen the same song! glad you found a nowhere man to pop on the page. xx
ReplyDeleteFab bright page, Love the idea using Versamark with the stencil. I like the effect and I have to try it :)
ReplyDeleteI saw that kaleidoscope and was immediately impressed with all the colors. From what I've read about the 60s, these are the perfect colors. And your little man really topped it off nicely. Great song lyrics and interesting back story about the Beatles. I love learning new things and this was a treat.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic choice of image to represent 'Nowhere', the kaleidoscope is just perfect for the 60's and the man looks good standing there. Great choice and beautifully executed! Anne xx
ReplyDeleteFantastically represenation of the 60s, I wasn't around then but this sure makes me think of the 60s.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and the spiral. He's a definate nowhere man. Fab piece. Hugz
ReplyDeleteLove the colourful background circle.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic way to depict these lyrics! The psychedelic colours are of course the perfect choice. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteStunning kaleidocope of colours, and one of my favour Beatles songs - I've probably got it on one of my many LPs! (which I can't play anymore!)
ReplyDeleteThis is so very 60s! I love the Beatles and I love your entry this week!
ReplyDeleteFunny how you also chose a concentric motif like Helen, must be something we remember being "60s" or it's a case of great minds think alike!. Love the colours too...
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea for your 'Nowhere' lyric and your colourful wheel is joyful! :o))
ReplyDeleteLove the technique you have used for the background, and those colours, very retro
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful page, love the colors.
ReplyDeleteWonderful kaleidoscope stencil, love the colours very 60's and the man looks fantastic :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Love the stencil and colour of the background.
ReplyDeleteGreat page, lovely and colourful! Fab song lyrics too xx
ReplyDeleteI used the same lyric but your interpretation is very different to mine. I love what you have done.
