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!
The pie looks yummy..haven't had damsons for years and I used to love them.
ReplyDeleteBoth 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
Oh wow. I'm going to have to find out more about that pie. It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
Lovely work for the challenges! Your pie and coffee...yummm! So glad the water is receding.
ReplyDeleteSo much in your post today. Love your transport page. Its a fun collage. And your digital collage is great, along with all your birds today. Happy T day. YUM- that pie looks delicious. I bet you enjoyed it a lot. :)

ReplyDeleteLove how you collage. Brilliant colour and work. Also love your fab photos. Your page is always a pleasure to visit. x
ReplyDeleteYour 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
ReplyDeleteYour 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

fantastic travel collage Valerie and I really LOVE the one with those sweet maypole dancers! Gonna look up that pie as I never heard of it before but it sure does look tempting:) Always a delight to see the birds along your walks too. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your art and the descriptions of how you created it. Nice to see those nature shots too.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Valerie,
ReplyDeletewunderschöne und absolut geniale Bilder hast du gezaubert, das ist ein Augenschmaus... naja Kaffe und Kuchen ist bei diesem Wetter herrlich... die Fotos vom Rhein sind dir fantastisch gelungen.
Herzliche Grüsse, Sichtwiese
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
ReplyDeleteShame 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.

ReplyDeleteHappy T day!
I love your collage work, and all your bird photos! Beautiful! I'd love a piece of your pie :) I can't remember the last time I had that kind of pie. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteWonderful collage work Valerie.....love the maple dancers.
ReplyDeleteThat pie has my stomach screaming to be fed since I haven't taken time for breakfast yet.....LOL
Happy T-day
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.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeleteReally 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?

Your pages are wonderful. The first is packed full of fun and the second is so very serene.
