Art journal week39: Extravagant

week39ExtravagantSml

Week 39 of the ukstampers weekly challenges is all about Extravagance:

  • would you say you were extravagant?
  • what is your biggest expense?
  • use something extravagant on your page

I would say that I am not extravagant although I am drawn to pretty things and would love to enhance my home with beautiful furnishings, I think I am just a bit too practical and most items have to be useful.  My biggest expenses have been the house and furniture but having said that we have had the same furniture now for 20 years and most of it will last another 20 years so it has been money well spent.
I made the whole page extravagant but the most extravagant thing on it has to be the Paua (abalone?) shell inlay.
