Tuesday this and that

Hi Everybody!

Hope your day is going well!

For Art Journal Journey, inspired by autumn colours, I made another
hybrid journal page. The background has been collaged, painted and scanned.
The lady and the statue are both from June at Dezinaworld, and the curtain from Itkupilli. June showed a painting on her blog as inspiration for a challenge, and I digitally cut the lady out, turned her round, and placed her in the picture, so I am also linking to June's challenge.




Our theme at Tag Tuesday these week is 'secrets'.
My tag was distressed and stamped with DIs before using a stencil to write the quote from Benjamin Franklin. I love his black humour!




Today is also Elisabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so hello to all the T Gang.
Michelangelo's David is once again in the centre of interest. I wanted to invite him for coffee, but he turned up with his tea-egg and said he prefers tea. The coffee cup was digitally removed from one of my photos and placed on the hybrid page. The twigs and leaves are from Algeradesign. Anyway, help yourselves to coffee and Amarettinis!






I always enjoy the hour before sunrise, even though I sometimes wish I could sleep a bit longer.





I love the shadows on the wall when the sun shone through the window:


These huge and heavy chunks of masonry are still on the shore directly under the castle ruins where they have been for more than 2 centuries:





Autumn is still showing her colours, but most of the leaves are now on the ground.





Have a great day you all, take care, 
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  10. ah ha I made it on time early today..
    Fabulous pieces Valerie - all of them put a smile on my face.

    I was engrossed in the first one looking at the great clean extraction of your lady and then noticed the words and thought, why is she lost for words - ooops - not sure how I missed that leaf ha ha.
    Love your tag too - not heard that quote before - that made me chuckle

    Number 3 is cheeky - I had some questions about some objects, then thought better of asking ha ha :) and now having seen that lovely cup of coffee I am feeling very thirsty...

    Loving the photos - I am seeing faces and animals in those great stone photos...

    So I am going to have a cup of coffee and then go and make some art which I haven't had time lately for :( and have some fun :)
    Have a lovely day.... Gill xx

  14. You came up with some stunning art today, Valerie. Your hybrid entry using David made me smile, but when he joined us for T, I laughed and laughed. This is fantastic. And of course, I simply adored the tag. Guess it's quite true and the skulls reminded me of sugar skulls used in Dia de los Muertos celebrations.

    Thanks for sharing your art, making me laugh at David (and his leaf) while drinking coffee during T Stands For Tuesday.

  15. Glad to hear it, laughter is the best medicine!

  16. You do really fun things with your digital art Valerie and so much of it too.
    That David gets around doesn't he!
    I guess he can't resist showing off his leaf :-)
    Thanks for making me smile this morning.
    Happy T Day to you and David oxo

  18. I love your "take" on June's challenge.......and the touch of fall color! It made me smile. Nice work!

  19. What wonderful art you have created for this week. Of course I had to stop laughing and go back for a second look at everything, good strategically placed leaf.....I might add....*grin* Your digital art just amazes me.
    I LOVE Ben Franklin's quotes, I guess I have a darker sided humor.
    Thanks for stopping by for T-day this week. The mandala was fun to just sit and color.

  22. Hello and Happy T Day! What beautiful art you made, creative too, wink!
    LOVE the fall photos, always my favorite! Have a good week.

  23. Thank you for so many stunning images! Where to start? I love the sunrise photos (I never get to see sunrise in real life: I don't do sunrises. I'm in bed) and I love the autumnal leaves as well as the masonry. There is so much beauty around us if we can be bothered to look.
    You art is beautiful as ever. I love the way you do hybrid. It is my wish to learn to do that. I'm in the process of buying a new computer and then I'll treat myself to a newer version of PSE (Photoshop Elements). The version I have is soooo old and the newer version won't play on my also very old computer (Windows Vista). Something to look forward to.
    Thank you for sharing and thank you for visiting me earlier,
    Happy T-day

  30. Haha, I like your use of an autumn oak leaf in place of a fig leaf. :)

    I did not know that King David prefers tea over coffee. I'll have to remember that, in case I ever invite him to be my guest. :)

    Thanks for making me smile today.

  45. Super Idee für Dezinaworld, gefällt mir sehr!
    Ich glaube, dort mache ich auch noch was, denn ich liebe es, wenn viele Leute am gleichen Motiv arbeiten. Es macht einfach Spaß die unterschiedlichen Umsetzungen zu sehen. LG Ulrike
