Hi Everybody!
Monday started off here fine and sunny, but in the afternoon the promised rain and wind reached us, so the next couple of days will be wet. But wet days are still fine for walking and even better for painting and crafting, so I'm not too sad about it!
Today is time for a new theme over at Tag Tuesday and of course, the challenge at Art Journal Journey goes on all month, so plenty of time to be inspired by the masters! And at Try it on Tuesday you also still have a week to enter the colours of autumn challenge.
The theme at Tag Tuesday is 'crown it'. I made a quick tag using corrugated cardboard, peeled and painted white for the background. The image is one of Astrid's freebies, which she generously offers on her blog. I stamped one of my Paper Artsy 'clockwork birds' onto the tag, using Archival back and super fine black EP. I added some embellishments, and it was done.
This Kandinsky picture looked so simple .....mistake! It was hard! Anyway, I cased Kandinsky, using my own colours. The background was sprayed with a light pink spray, but it is hard to see here. I used Sharpies, felt and gel pens for the drawing. I am linking to AJJ, inspired by the masters.

Monday started off really well, with a beautiful sky, I love the colours:
I enjoyed my walks along the Rhine and by the lakes.
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Good Morning Valerie. I love your tag and that Paper Artsy stamp suits the background so well. Beautiful art picture as well and the .most beautiful photos of your walks. Keep Warm and Dry. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful tag, Valerie. I love how you took Astrid's image further! Ah, and the Rhine, the beautiful morning sky - lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely tag and beautiful sky!
ReplyDeleteDas Tag is wundervoll.. dieses Motiv mit dem gekrönten Uhrenvogelwesen hat es mir immer schon angetan.. das ist eins dass ich mir vielleicht doch mal zulegen werde, obwohl ich mir geschworen habe keine Stempel mehr zu kaufen.
ReplyDeleteBoah Dein Kandinsky inspiriertes Teil ist genial! bin begeistert!
♥♥♥ AJJ dankt Frau Valeri"nsky"
Deine Fotos sind wie immer ein Genuß - man merkt eben dass ein Künstlerin die Kamera benutzt...
Hab einen schönen Tag -- das Wetter ist zwar bescheiden, aber Du hast recht umso lieber gehst Du ohne schlechtes Gewissen an den Basteltisch!
Ja, die Stempeln sind schön, und das Set ist vielseitig einsetzbar.
Deletewind and rain most of yesterday - and possibly today too, so thanks for the blue sky pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your master artist inspired work. Happy November.
Good morning Val! It's cold and grey here, and pouring, and I need to get the shopping in....Love the tag, what a funky bird on it! Your Kandinsky case is fantastic, love the bright colours, too. And the photos, as always, are a delight! Have a fun day, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful tag Valerie and it doesn't look as though it was quick at all. Lovely texture and images to look at on it.
ReplyDeleteThe drawing is wonderful and I haven't heard of the artist so will be looking at that later.
Great photographs. I can well imagine gazing out at the view under the trees and feeling at peace with the world and nature. Thank you for sharing them all every day.
Foggy and cold here so far but planning a trip out anyway.
Have a great day
Love Chrissie x
Ein klasse Tag und dein Kandinsky-Werk ist genial- ich mag seine Werke auch sehr! Hier ist es noch trocken aber die Luft so lau wie ein Föhn und ich bin schon mit Kopfschmerzen aufgestanden. Jetzt erst einmal auf Hunde runde und dann wollte ich mir endlich mal wieder Kreativzeit gönnen :-) Ich wünsche dir auch einen kreativen Tag- freue mich schon auf neue Arbeiten hier. LG Dagmar
ReplyDeleteHier ist es kalt, nass und grau-in-grau! Gute Besserung!
DeleteAmazing, lovely tag. Beautiful embellishments.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,
hugs xxx
I just love your photos but you know that by now....it has refreshed my mind of today and any sadness in my heart...thank you...I also just love how you seem to add this that and anything to your creations and they turn out like a real artist.xxxThe Journey is the Start
ReplyDeleteSorry you are sad!
DeleteGorgeous tag, Love it all & your art work is Amazing as always...Love the photos...Have a happy week Hugs May x x
ReplyDeleteThe tag is pretty--I always enjoy the dimension, and I think the use of cardboard in your pieces is one of my favorite substrates now!
ReplyDeleteThe Kandinsky looks anything but simple or easy to me! All those intricate lines must have made it very difficult to add color. Very nice work.
Your Tag looks awesome.. And you know I am enjoying seeing your photos.. Happy Tuesday my friend.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
I love your Kandinsky page and fabulous tag.
ReplyDeletexxx Hazel.
Wow, love you art page. I can imagine how hard that must have been to create. Fabulous tag and photos as well.

Great tag Valerie, love your freebie background, perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat Kandnsky page, I wouldn't know where to begin.
Loved the pics of your walk, and enjoy your rainy days crafting.

Wow, stunning piece, love the pinks and black, really looks like it was a lot of work. Your tag is fun, I love how you brought it all together. Your photos are gorgeous, you really use the camera like an artists tool, seeing things with a different perspective. Big hugs, ~Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks, I try my best!
DeleteYour Kandisnky piece is fabulous Valerie, it looks so complex! The tag is so pretty, beautifully embellished. Enjoy your evening. Xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag, Valerie. And, your Kandisnky piece is marvelous. Great job! I love the theme you two have selected for November along with the photos from your walk.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Hey, dein Kandinsky-Werk ist großartig... ich glaube auch, dass es schwerer ist, als es aussieht. Doch bin ich sicher, dass ihm alles ganz leicht aus der "Feder gefallen" ist...
ReplyDeleteIch habe mich auch schon anstecken lassen von diesem tollen Thema und verehre so viele Künster - auf jeden Fall mache ich dieses Mal noch mehr!
LG Ulrike
Das ist schön, und es macht süchtig wenn man (frau) einmal anfängt!
DeleteLove your tag Valerie. Your Kandinsky art is wonderful. We are having a rainy day too and I love creating in this weather. So cozy and inspiring inside.
ReplyDeleteLovely walking pics.

Your tag is fantastic and I love what you did with the Kandinsky.... simple appearing things are not often so but you managed it well ♥ Lovely photos too.
ReplyDeleteLove the tag and the Kandinsky art is fabulous too, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteYour take on Kandinsky looks good, well worth framing - an original.
ReplyDeleteThe sky photo with the strips is fairly amazing, light navy and primrose yellow, amazing colouring, top marks to the sky artist too.
Beautiful tag and I like how the bird pops against Astrid's background.
ReplyDeleteBravo for taking the challenge of Kandinsky with such impressive results.
Wishes
Lynne
Great post Valerie.... I loved the Kandinsky art!

You did a great job of Kandinsky! I know, he is unexpectedly difficult. I did in in a quilled twinchie (http://zoe3265.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/quilled-abstraction.html), and it was difficult. Fantastic tag - I love all the detail you put in.
ReplyDeleteLove this!
