U = Urban Urchins

I admit it.... that is a mouthful - "urban urchins." It has been a restful Sunday, ran out to meet a friend for lunch - he and I play mixed doubles on our team tennis team. Got grocery shopping done .... and finished the letter "U"..... Once again background and images are from the Itkupilli Shop. At first I did have trouble with this letter - somehow I got stuck - wanted to do "unveil" but did not want to wrestle with "veil" - nope I tried and changed my mind. And then I spied Charlie Chaplin and those adorable kids and immediately thought of Oliver Twist and little street urchins.... And off my mind ran.

This image is from Itkupilli's "Abandoned Houses" and I decided to add a little "greenery" - added glue and then the thread....

Found my rusty stuff and the letter "U" from my Tim Holtz "Letter Squares" - yes, rusty is so urbane..... don't you think my little honeysuckles?

Glued the U on the rusty hair pin.... Laid out my images and

And the lower half - this dog reminds me of my childhood pup, Poncho, a Boston Terrier,

Gonna be honest, I can't remember where I picked up the white thingee circling his head, however, I really like those numbers....

This leaves three more alpha letters which I will be working on this evening: "O" and "Q" and "Z".... I have Team Tennis tomorrow night so probably will not be checking in with you, hopefully will see you again on Tuesday... Maybe and, if not, I will just try to upload a little bit of art for you. Let's see what I can come up with by Wednesday on the remaining letters..... I need to review all of those that are done to see if I want to repeat any ideas like labels from cans of veggies.... I have a really neat Lima Bean label... Have a good evening.. see you soon.
