Hi Everybody!
Today is the start of a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and our theme is clocks/ watches. As always, the challenge will run for 2 weeks, and projects of all formats are allowed. Hope to see you there!
I am also linking to Summer of Colour, where the colours this week are blue, blue and green. Thanks to Kristin for hosting this fun event.
I used water colour paper in A4, and painted it diagonally with metallic paints in 2 shades of blue and green, On the clock is a nasty fly - as we all know, time flies! The wings and body of the fly have been sparkled with diamond Stickles.
For art journal journey, masculine and feminine, I painted a tree woman, perhaps Mother Nature, once again using greens and blues. This is perhaps the female version of a 'green man'. I am also linking to Moo Mania and More, anything goes.
And some greens and blues from my walk today:
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Beautiful pieces both of them! The stickles on the fly add a lovely touch and I love your tree woman!
ReplyDeleteBeide Arbeiten sind wieder sehr schön geworden - das halbe Gesicht hat was! ...und blau und grün ist eigentlich auch meine Lieblingsfarb-Kombi. Lieben Gruß von Naturfanatiker Ulrike
ReplyDeleteYou obviously had a "green" day yesterday, inspired I'm sure by the beautiful countryside you walk every day. Your tree lady has a beautiful face. We still have very mixed weather here. Summer hasn't quite arrived yet! Enjoy your day. Xx
ReplyDeleteSuper fab design. Love the colour combo and the fly too.xx
