Flowers, fruit and film

Hi everybody!

We were blessed with good weather again today, so hope you were too!

I have another tag to share today, made with some of the UFOs (untidy flying-around objects) from my work table. I started as usual with cardboard, which was peeled and gessoed. The gesso was probably a waste of time, as the linen covers most of it, but I wanted to use the pretty printed linen. Next mistake - the image and matting nicely covers up the printed part of the linen. Oh well, perhaps it was not to be! The image is mounted onto some very distressed coredinations paper, and has a scrap of DP as matting. I used a piece of my beautiful lace and a button as embellishments. I am linking to Simon Monday Challenge, 'Use it'

And now I have some edible art to share - the jam I made at the weekend. I went to the fruit shop an hour before closing time, and waited on a bench till they put out the sign, 'strawberries half price' before filling my basket.

I mixed the strawberries with   figs and vodka (to disinfect the fruit!), and of course spices and ginger. The first 2 jars disappeared before they could have their photo taken, and the jar with handle is reserved for a neighbour. The rest is for me, and it is really delicious!

At Moo Mania the theme this fortnight is 'cinema and movies'. This is my attempt:

And last but not least, some pictures from my walk along the Rhine today:

This is the first time I have seen a swan in the river:

And of course, the horses were waiting to have their photos taken:

That was it for today!

Have a great day, take care, 

and thanks a lot for coming by!
