Hi Everybody!
Today is the begin of a new challenge at Moo Mania and More -
Numbers.
The challenge will run for 2 weeks, as always, and you are welcome to link up projects of all formats, not just Moos. For my mixed-media DT page I pasted some pieces of newspaper onto an A3 background and painted over it with gesso. Then I used a large TH stamp with numerals all over it. I used shabby shutters and soot black DI for the stenciling, once again with lots of numerals. The image is from the Graphics fairy. I printed my strong man out and transferred him with gel onto my page. The quote was found on Google, and written round a plate. And finally I made him into the Number 1.
I am also linking to Art Journal Journey, masculine-feminine, and to Anything but cute, masculine
This young Jay came later than the others for breakfast, so I gave him some bread, and he sat in the tree and enjoyed it. They all really love white bread.
I enjoy watching men and their machines working down by the Rhine:
The hay harvest is in full swing:
Some places the grass is taller than I am
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Another fantastic journal page,love how you made it, and the quote. Great photos as always, those little birds have grown! Have a nice day, hugs, Sarah

Schön, ich freue mich drauf!
DeleteGuten Morgen, liebe Valerie! Ein toller Einstieg in ein neues Thema. Deine Nummer eins ist ein Prachtstück von einem Mann :)
ReplyDeleteDeine Vögel sind zu schön. Und sie kommen und holen sich morgens Brot?! Herrlich ist das.
Wir haben auch Vögel im Garten und im Laufe der Jahre haben sie Vertrauen gefaßt und nehmen auch gerne Futter an. Ich kann nicht verstehen, wieso sich Menschen Vögel in Käfigen halten. So ist es viel schöner.
Viele liebe Grüße zu Dir!

Genau... stark sein bedeutet auch großzügig sein...lol! Eine fabelhafte Seite! So einer kann nur NUMBER ONE sein! Das sommerliche Treiben auf den Feldern und die Arbeit mit Kran am Wasser ..
ReplyDelete"men at work" .... heute Dein ganzer post durchzogen davon...lol!
Ja die Wissen auch was fein ist Vögelchen...
ich denke an die vielen Spatzen im Chinarestaurantgarten..
die holen sich auch mit großer Geschicklichkeit jedes gekochte Reiskorn von den nicht abservierten Tellern. Hübsch ist Dein Langschläfer Jay!!!
Glaub der ist mit mir verwandt...lol!
Einen schönen Tag Dir!

Vielleicht has Du Recht mit Dir und mein gefiederte Langschläfer, Du kommst nicht raus aus den Federn!
DeleteGood morning Valerie and the birds.
ReplyDeleteLove the varied photos today and the machinery at work by the river.

Awesome photo journal again and I adore the beautiful jay, hard to believe all the beauty comes from an egg. Then your masculine creation cant be more masculine. Love the effects in the background.

What a fabulous page. Everything is so balanced, which goes perfectly with the #1 weight lifting man. Great sentiment.
ReplyDeletehugs,

Nice page! Interesting they like white bread. Men and machines could be another page!
ReplyDeleteWhat a description of how you made this, everything was interesting - shabby shutters and soot (now I know these are paint colours), the Graphics Fairy (very useful to have as a helper), the strong man transferred with gel and made into Number One, the letters round a plate (ingenious) - and the artwork I saw after reading was even better than the description. Top marks for this one, Valerie.
ReplyDeleteI like the newspaper backdrop or substrate, as well as the diamond shaped repeat pattern. Lots of visual appeal in this work.
ReplyDeleteFabulous page Valerie, show great strength having the silhouette male, liked the words as well.
ReplyDeleteYvonne xx
Valerie this is a awesome page and quote.Love the colorful bird from your walking pics.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day. xo
I'm late again, Valerie. Your journal page with the numbers and texture effect of the diamonds is spectacular. All elements work so well together including the strong man as the focal point. It is a great page and a keeper for sure.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Hahahaha! Awesome quote and so perfectly true, my DH would agree. Strong minded women are the norm is my house. lol! This is a truly exceptional LO and your soft harlequin pattern really makes the masculine man pop off the page! Spectacular dearie!
