Second on the 2nd: Tag, you're it

Today I'm sharing a partial post from November, 2019.  Although it was part of a larger post, I'm sharing that part which involves the tag I'm about to share.

I originally created this tag for Tag Tuesday where seeds and plants were the theme that Michele chose.  I was also creating for another challenge that involved circles, but that blog is no longer active.

Let's take a closer look at this tag I called "seeds."

Apparently my green dye ink pad was dry, because the circles I made were quite faint.

The black dye ink was more obvious.

There's a bit of symbolism in this tag, too.  For those of you who live in the states or are familiar with some of our cities, all the fruit symbolize a specific city.   The avocado (yes, it's a fruit) symbolizes Los Angeles, California.  The cherry symbolizes Washington D.C. where the cherry blossoms bloom each year.  The apple is for the Big Apple, or New York City, New York.

For this tag, I cut a piece of fun foam to size, then stamped green and black circles on the foam.  I fussy cut the fruit and the word from various magazines.  There was no way I was going to be able to cut the stems on the cherries or the apple and not destroy the images.  I had trouble getting glue to adhere, so ended up affixing everything with glue dots.  Finally, I backed the tag with a decorated paper (kitchen) towel that had been stamped and colored.

Now it's your turn to share your Second on the 2nd.  The rules are quite simple and everyone is welcome to join the fun look back.  All you have to do is bring back a post that you are especially proud of, or perhaps one you shared before anyone knew your blog existed.  It could even be a post that is as relevant today as it was when you originally posted it.  Any post, any genre, any artistic endeavor is acceptable.  Then link below (direct links only, please) and Bleubeard and I, along with other Second on the 2nd friends, will be by to visit.  Please be aware, since so many of you don't like Inlinkz, we will be using Mr. Linky.  That means this link is only open through tomorrow at 4 p.m. my time, when T Tuesday goes live, so linking today is encouraged.
