Weekend this and that

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey, Susi's challenge of collage with a twist,
I have another hybrid piece, using 'my' men, and some digi elements from Mischief circus. This time I stuck to a vintage, monochrome look. I am also linking to Paint Party Friday.




I think I showed this piece before, I discovered it lurking in between the clean sheets in the closet. I have no idea why I put it there....






Here are some of the stained glass pieces from the glass museum.
These are from the early 16th century:


This is a  modern one:


These are from the 17th century:





And some more modern work from the 20th century:






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

  3. I love stained glass and was fortunate to see the Tiffany exhibit a few years ago. Thanks for sharing the photos. Your vintage color piece is beautiful in simplicity. And as for the rerun, I don't remember seeing it. It is also very beautiful. I love those bright colors.

  4. Both terrific pages with interesting things to look at.

    The stained glass is amazing both ancient and modern. The colours are amazing as are your photographs

    Hope you are feeling a bit better today

  5. Really gorgeous collages Valerie and you sound like me, discovering things in strange places! Beautiful stained glass artwork too, so lovely and colourful.
    Sorry to hear of your eye troubles too, making mine seem very minor compared to yours!
    Have a lovely weekend, Fliss xx

  7. Lots of magic in your work today -- and Oh! I am such a sucker for classic stained glass windows. I can't get enough of them! These are spectacular.

  10. Wonderful pages, the vintage monochrome and iridescent colourful stars are so different and both are gorgeous! Like your pages the same can be said of the stained glass, both the old and modern pieces are very beautiful indeed! Have a great weekend! J :-)

  11. Had to laugh at your discovery in the closet. Reminds me of the time I misplaced my glasses that I only need if I'm driving. I looked everywhere, and couldn't find them, then opened a kitchen cabinet and there they were. I was flabbergasted.

    I love your "men." This is a beauty, and even though it's quite modern, has an old world feel to it.

    The glass is all lovely today, and I especially like the modern stained glass piece you shared. It is so very different, I guess that's why I like it.

    Have a good weekend and I hope you are feeling a bit better.

  13. I like the way the postmark turns into a halo for your figure on our right, which chimes with some of those in the wonderful stained glass.

    Hope you are feeling well.

  14. Love both the pieces you are showing today Valerie - may be an art gremlin hid your second piece - but I wonder why? :)
    Love the stained glass photos - I'm always drawn to stained glass and would have loved to have learnt how to do that. The nearest I got, was making a smallish faux stained glass effect on some doors (butterflies and birds of course are on it) but some colours seem to have been lost and other faded over the years now.
    Wishing you a lovely weekend and hope you are still on the up and feeling better.

  15. Your pages are beautiful, the first one so clever, I like them. And I really like the stained glass windows, old and new, I may prefer the modern ones.
    Happy PPF on a Saturday!

  21. Das auf alt getrimmte Bild gefällt mir sehr gut, die Knitter im Hintergrund und der "Heiligenschein" des rechten Mannes! Das blauviolette mit den Sternen und Kreisen in Weiß und Schwarz finde ich ganz toll!
    Sehr interessante Fotos von dieser Glaskunst!
    Dein neuer Header erinnert sehr an facebook ... :)
