Heaven is a place on earth

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy!

For Art Journal Journey, For the Record, and Moo Mania and More, 

Music, I have another A3 mixed media piece. The central piece was put together using various photos - an old photo of the embankment in London taken on a foggy night, and various photos taken here - the spiral staircase from my last apartment, 'my' balcony blackbird and heron, the anchor that's here at the Rhine, and the statue of Mary from the grotto in one of the old houses by the Rhine. The moon was the last blood moon taken here, too. I printed the picture out and pasted it onto the gessoed and sprayed background. This fits to 2 songs that I like - stairway to heaven, from Led Zeppelin and Heaven is a place on earth, from Belinda Carlisle. I added some floral die-cuts as embellishments.

And here Belinda Carlisle's song:

'My' blackbird spent a lot of time on my balcony today. He was trying to eat from the fat balls, and needed quite some time before he understood that he needed to push his beak through the net before opening it to get some food, and I could almost see him scratching his head and wondering what was going wrong....But in the end, he mastered the technique, and as practice makes perfect, he came back time and time again for more.

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
