Hi Everybody!
It's weekend - have a good one!
For Art Journal Journey, architecture, I made another A3 journal page. Last month when I was thinking about what to make for AJJ the rhyme about the crooked man in the crooked house wouldn't go out of my head. So I decided to make a page with it, with a simple cartoon sketch:
Some of the old houses in Kettwig were also a bit crooked, as were the streets and steps, but much lovelier than my poor drawing!
A lot of the lampposts were also decorated:
Windows showing what's inside and what's opposite:
Beautiful doors:
Wishing you all a beautiful weekend!
Take care, have fun,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
What a pretty town Kettwig is. It has lots of personality. And I love the crooked man in and his crooked house. How fun is that page!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute page for AJJ! And lovely photos of this quaint town.

What fun is this! I'll be chanting this all day now! Great photos, too. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteGreat page, Valerie. We must be on the same wave length, because I did a tag of the same rhyme and then discovered it had to be a page. Great minds etc. The beautiful town of Kettwig ... would love to lose myself in it's streets. Have a great day. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteKettwig looks like a photographers dream place to visit Valerie and your pics are amazing and the reflection in window is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the man with the crooked house and had quite forgotten that rhyme until I saw it here. Brillinar drawing and painting.
Have a great weekend
Love Chrissie xx
I had forgotten it too, and all of a sudden it was in my head...
DeleteGee, I had forgotten about that rhyme. I wonder how many parents actually read nursery rhymes to their children these days! Kettwig is such a pretty place. Enjoy your day, it's raining cats and dogs here! Xx
ReplyDeleteWas für eine coole Seite... Du kannst richtig gut zeichenen Valerie! Super witzig mit dem Spruch dazu und dieses Kettwig ist wirklich ein kleines verträumtes Städtchen - zum Verlieben schön! Danke für die schönen Bilder!
ReplyDeleteHab einen feinen Samstag Liebes!

I love your crooked man with his crooked house and cat, beautiful photos to.
ReplyDeletexxx Hazel.
I think your crooked man is adorable, but of course, the crooked cat stole my heart. This was simply adorable and cleverly done.
ReplyDeleteI adore the curved streets and sidewalks in Kettwig, but something I hadn't noticed before was how many of the windows had window boxes. Even though it's autumn, the flowers are still quite showy and beautiful, too. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Most people are very house proud and spend a lot of time and effort keeping their flower boxes and gardens beautiful.
DeleteAnother fun creation for AJJ!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and so would love to just walk around and admire all the gorgeous buildings. fab creation of the crooked man and crooked house...Lovely creation and fab colour combo's. ♥{The Journey Is The Start aNNie my personal blog}

Gosh, I haven't heard of thought of that rhyme in years! I love your illustration for it - so wonderfully quirky and I love the little glimpses into all these beautiful German towns and cities that we get to see on your blog each week - the architecture is so much prettier than any of the modern stuff they build now.
ReplyDeleteThat little childhood verse has been going through my mind a lot lately as I've struggle to straighten up when my back is not willing too. Your page is adorable. I love the photos from your visit. Such a quaint little village and you know I love all of the flowers everywhere. I want some window boxes ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteKettwig is a beautiful town. I love the window boxes filled with flower and the bricked streets. Such a charming place to be and walk. Your journal page is adorable. I have always loved this little rhyme. Your creation is so creative. I'll be singing this all day now. LOL
