Collage, feathered creatures and more:

Hi Everybody!

We had quieter weather here today, still very cold, but no rain, and the awful wind had blown over, too. They have forecasted more storms for the coming week, so it will keep us on our toes.

For Art Journal Journey I have another collage to share. I worked on kraft paper, which I gave a quick coat of gesso. This time I added paper in shades of red and gold, which were first glued and then sewed. I added a TH tree die-cut. The text reads 'Etz Hachayim' - Tree of Life.





These are the little altered note books I made yesterday. I used double sided DP. You can make 3 covers from one 12x12" sheet.



My jay was the first visitor this morning, and I caught him peeking round the cactus to see if I was watching....


The pigeon is very shy, but managed to have a meal before being chased away by the robin....


I went out for a twilight walk, the lights all look really pretty:









My friend Narda sent me this joke today:

Senior trying to set a password .

  8. Eine sehr harmonische Collage - ich mag die warmen Farben sehr. Deine Notizbücher sind super schon - ohne viel Schnick-Schnack darauf kann m sie gut in die Tasche stecken. Heute geht es noch einmal auf einen schönen Weihnachtsmarkt und morgen will ich noch einige kleine Schenkies fertig machen und anfangen meine Weihnachtspost zu verschicken. Ich wünsche dir einen schönen 3. Advent.

  10. Eine tolle Collage .. mir gefällt besonders auch diese kleine Perlenreihe rechts unten - passt perfekt dazu! Die Notizbücher sind perfekt gelungen und klasse dass man aus wenig Papier so viele gestalten kann! Zauberhafte Bilder sind das wieder.. super wie neugierig das Vögelchen zu Dir rein schaut und wundervolle Adventimpressionen sind das!
    Hammer dieser Anmeldungsversuch... so ähnlich geht es mir auch oft wenn ich mich wo anmelden will...
    breiter Grinser!

    Einen schönen Sonntag!

  14. Beautiful collage! I, too, am laughing so hard that I can hardly remember what I wanted to say! You caught a great expression on the Jay!

  15. The Tree of Life is so warm and colorful – the colors are very harmonious. Your little notebooks are also unique and graceful – you have talent. The senior story is so true – don’t know what passwords to use anymore and it’s easy to get very frustrated – a joke but very much like what we experience on the Internet.

  19. Great photos of the jay and pigeon showing their personalities.
    I see your town is getting more Christmassy, clever the way you catch the photos with no people.
    I like your tree collage too, very original and different.

  21. Tree of Life -- beautiful collage. Is the writing Arabic? You do amazing art and I love to view your creations from scraps and repurposed papers and cardboard. The 'twilight' photos are wonderful and I especially like the one of the stained glass window. How festive to take a walk when the lights of the season are on.

    Hugs,
