Being Creative Project - August theme Travel

 My post this for this month's Being Creative Project , by Julia Crossland, is a little early, but comes with an .excuse  I haven't had an opportunity, so far,to make anything new for the Travel theme. I had a project in mind but haven't been able to start it because....I will be travelling!  Hubby and I are off to the South Island of New Zealand for 9 days for a bit of skiing, touring and family visiting.
So my contributions come from a Journal Quilt project I set myself some time ago.  It was a quilt block a month and had to have some relevance to the month's happenings.  Interestingly some of the blocks had a travel type theme.

Butterflies travelling through the air, inspired by paper butterflies released from on high at a Coldplay concert.

 My daughter is a student of dance and this is a hand painted version of her travelling through the air.  She is holding a banner which reads "...gravity release me, don't ever hold me down, now my feet won't touch the ground".  Words from a Coldplay song (sorry I do love their music!)

And finally a celebration of our purchase of a caravan, which we are sadly now trying to sell so we can put the kids through University (sigh)
