This, that and more for Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Today we are beginning a new challenge at TIOT, transport.
As usual, the challenge runs for 2 weeks and projects of all formats are allowed as long as they are relevant to our theme. I used a background which was painted, stenciled and then collaged with magazine cut-outs. Then I digitally added some photos taken here. The vintage car on the right is from Freuebel's Freebies.




For Art Journal Journey, if music be the food of love, I have a hybrid piece. The tree, branches and birds are all photos taken here, and I collaged them with a silhouette of the children dancing round a Maypole.




It is also time for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so a big hello to all the T Gang. I am showing you a damson pie I made, and it was really delicious. Yes, dear readers - was. Next time I will save some for you!


And my drink is, of course frothy coffee:


The water in the Rhine is slowly receding, the water fowl will miss their playground!





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

  1. The pie looks yummy..haven't had damsons for years and I used to love them.

    Both terrific pages. The transport one has such a lot to see and I loved the way you mixed the different elements,

    Great use of your own photos again in the next project and love the children at the bottom.

    Hope you had a good day today

    Love Chrissie xx

  2. Oh wow. I'm going to have to find out more about that pie. It looks wonderful.

    Your TioT entry has me thinking. It's a wonderful example of transport.

    I also enjoyed the AJJ entry because it had silhouettes included with your birds and trees. This is truly LOVELY.

    May I join you for a bit of frothy coffee? Looks about the right amount of 1/2 and 1/2 to me!

    Thanks for sharing your art, your photos of the birds and river, your pie, and your coffee with us for T this week.

  12. Your pie looks lovely. I bet it was delicious. As I am on a diet at the moment I am literally salivating! Just as well you didn't save anything for me...lol
    Your hybrid artwork is beautiful. I like the idea of the maypole.
    And I love your photos of birds and ducks and other riverside creatures. Thank you for sharing.
    As you might have noticed,I haven't linked up yet for the simple reason I have not written anything yet. I will soon. We are in a bit of a situation here, which is will be resolved but you will read about it in my blog later on.
    Happy T day

  16. I h!ave never heard of Damson but looked it up and found it was a plum-like fruit. That pie sure looked delicious! I think the transport piece is really fun as you managed to include just about every form of transportation. Hope you had a great day

  17. Shame to miss that delicious pie, but the fantastic pages are eye candy to look at. Awesome transport page, I lingered quite a while seeing all the details. The dancers on the other page are so pretty. Hope you are having a good day.

  22. BEAUTY . . . That is what your blog reveals today, a gorgeous collage with fantastic blending, an art journey page that reminded me as a child doing the annual wrapping of the May pole and beautiful photos that all of us enjoy so much.
    Hugs,

    Really Valerie, you are so good at these collages. Everything about the transport one fits perfectly - It just all goes together and the colors do too. Of course the second on is delightful too. Isn't getting time for your surgery?
