Our challenge at Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland, will be finished in a few days. Chrissie has done wonderful job at hosting! And you still have time to join in!
I made another hybrid piece, combining the view from my window with a little fantasy, and memories of C.S Lewis' 'Narnia', one of the books that accompanied my childhood.
And I have been playing with my head and dipping it into a bath of marble colour - I am linking to 99 faces.
Some views from the Rhine:
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Super pieces both of them! The first one has such a lovely mood and I adore the face one!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow, I will be thinking of you!

Love the Narnia piece,, and the marble head is fantastic. I remember when we made marbled eggs with the kids, many moons ago! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThe Narnia inspired art is magical, to say the least and then for the heat, love the way you worked with marbling inks, gorgeous result.

ReplyDeleteWUnderschön ist die Narnia Seite und das marmorierte Gesicht ist einzigartig schön!
ReplyDeleteHab einen feinen Donnerstag Liebes!
So snowy and frosty and I like the way it is dark but you have lit up the scene with the street lamp.
ReplyDeleteThe seagulls look good again, perhaps they wait until you come along to get their photo on the blog.
Hi Valerie, its been an absolute age since I passed by and hope all is well with you. Two fabulous pieces, I love the snowy scene and then those fun little animals especially love the dog and his cute hat. Love the marbling I love this technique and have tons of pieces I have done I just love that every piece is so unique as is this.

So I see your amazing wintery piece and I'm thinking 'ooooh, it's like Narnia'. Then I scroll down and see the sentiment. HAHA!! Great minds and all that! Love your 99 faces pieces too, great play on words. Great shots today. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wintery scene and I love the marbling on the second piece. Take care, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteFab post Valerie - love your marbled head especially. Don't worry about loosing your marbles as if you ever need any I have a huge jar full of them that props open a door.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good day

I was just thinking about the lamp post in Narnia yesterday. Great page and I love the sentiment. You also did a beautiful depiction of losing one's marbles. :)

You have taken me back to Narnia with this gorgeous page Valerie. Had to smile at the marbled head, its fantastic and fires the imagination.

Cute dog in hat and sweater image. Love the marbled head. xox
ReplyDeleteYour marbled head is fantastic and very creative. It reminds me of my own rattled at times. Your winter scene is another great one, I almost hate to see this theme end. Unfortunately I am not familiar with "Narina" and probably was too busy playing to read it as a child. Thanks for sharing your photos today.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
C
Great collages! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHaha! I saw a Narnia clothes closet today! I even opened it and went to the back to see if there was a door. Lol! Goreous design today and such interesting details! Awesome sauce! Hugz.
