Mid week mix

Hi Everybody!

At Tag Tuesday this week our theme is 'industrial'
and this is the tag I made:


For Art Journal Journey, journeys, I made a mixed media spread in my 'new' journal, using painting,stamping, stencils and collage. These three words are, for me, the foundation of every journey, whether a real or an imaginary one: 





And some photos from today.
This little coal tit (Tannenmeise) is not a frequent visitor, and is much smaller than the other tits (chickadees).


I'm not sure what this one's called, it would not turn round and show it's beak! It seems to be a finch.


And here are the first photos I got of the baby woodpeckers:



My walk this afternoon led me through the fields by the Rhine:





The sheep were grazing:





And the fire-brigade boat was patrolling:



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

  4. Those are the 3 best words for any journey, and they inspired you to make a beautiful page Valerie. And you have such a variety of birds. How fun to be able to watch them. Gorgeous flowers too. We need rain so we don't end being too drought like. Have a great day. Hugs-Erika

  6. Your tag spoke to my industrial sensibility, and I thought it was wonderful. Your AJJ entry really DOES seem to contain the right words before or planning for a journey. It is well done, too.

    I am in awe of the bird and floral photos today. A genuine color fest.

  13. I do miss the birds and my goats and chickens. But I do not miss the big house are living back in the mountains. I really love it here and will have to take some pictures.
    Wonderful journal spread and I do like the addition of lace. I also like the neutral colors and the simplicity. You can dwell in these pages and rally kind of meditate.
    As always wonderful pictures!
