Hi Everybody!
We had a lot of storms here in the past few days, and I'm happy to say things have quietened down again today.
A new challenge is starting today at Moo Mania and More.
Black and White. I hope lots of you will join us with your black and white creations. Projects of all formats are allowed, and you have two weeks to link your work.
I made a large owl on an A3 page using a black India Ink pen.
I gave it clock eyes to fit in with our challenge at
Art Journal Journey, time. The flourishes and branch were stenciled.
Recently I made this quick sketch of a lady sitting in the ice parlour. She sat very still, and just moved her eyes right and left, right and left - perhaps she was looking for someone.
I made three digital versions of my sketch, I think I like the last one best.
I am linking to our 49 faces challenge
The photos were taken at the weekend, today I spent my time at the dentist's!
This crow had a lot of white feathers:
I wonder if King Arthur owns the ship?
We had a rather pale sunrise today, but it was good to see the sun again after the storm.
I love the wild flowers which grow along the Rhine:
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Hope your mouth is feeling better now that your tooth has been pulled. You made a fabulous sketch too-hope you were eating that ice cream to afterwards so your mouth would be a little happier. And very clever way to get the time theme into your owl by adding those clock numbers into the eyes! He's a great owl! Hope its a great day so far :)
ReplyDeleteLovely work for the challenges, cute owl. Enjoyed your photos and the sunrise but hope the dentist went ok.
ReplyDeleteI love the owl and the faces so good
ReplyDeleteLove the owl and the face variations, I like the last one best. Hope you are feeling better today! Hugs, Sarah

Fun to see that magically named boat on your beautiful Rhine.

Love the black and white owl, its got fantastic eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe sketches look awesome, think the middle one in blue appeals to me most, but they all are great.

Your owl journal page reminds me of zentangle which is usually done in white of off white paper with black ink. He is mighty handsome! Interesting that the upcoming theme at Moo Mania is black and white because I have been pulling out papers that are white with black the last few days. I want to make some cards with those two colors. Your sunrise photos are spectacular today. Happy you are finished with the dentist. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
