Northern Latitudes
"People in the North call such a boat a kay
ak ...." these words from an old storybook fit perfectly with my Alaskan Pale Ale beer label and "made in alaska" bottle cap ....
This hanging art piece is entirely re-used materials: a canned pineapple lid, beer bottle label, beer bottle cap, electrician wire, an old storybook, cereal box cardboard and beads - but I guess the beads don't qualify (as recycling) - along with the fishing line and glue. Today's theme over at Theme Thursday is something (anything) nautical or beachy. And yes, there are beaches in Alaska - even surfing!

... and here we have the southern latitudes represented by my Dad. He e-mailed this picture to me last week and I love the colors and composition. Oh, to be in short sleeves on a sunny day!

Wonderful art piece. I Love it
I bet NO ONE thought of an alaskan kayak when they were presented a nautical challenge- your brain is wired in the most magical way!!
Wonderful art piece! I've been to Point Barrow and dipped my toes in the sea there. Not the usual sort of beach, for sure.

Kimmie this is stunning - I love it!! The colours are fab and I like the way you've used recycled items.
Most of all though, I love the way you've displayed the text; it works perfectly. Must add that idea to my note book....
Thanks for inspiring us again!!
