AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Sign of Laughter


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The big red nose and red mouth line of a clown are signs of laughter. This is a tapestry I created some years ago.

Ruby Tuesday meme ~ The quest is for red signs.
But I stretched the idea of signs and thought of symbols.
A clown is a great symbol.

The role of a clown
Laughter is all that matters
A sign of pleasure

Arrgh! You needed a warning for this one - I don't like clowns! Scary ...

Clowns have always scared me too. This one doesn't do that though. Very cute.

Very clever approach to the idea of "signs." Well done.

Beautiful tapestry, very impressive. I'm one of those odd people who find clowns scary, lol. I must of had a bad experience as a kid!

I love this! It is very nice.
I've always been a fan of clowns and decorated my daughters nursery in them years ago.
