More this and that

Hi Everybody!

This week is flying by again, and today we even have

wonderful sunshine - so nice after the grey and gloomy

days. My ribs are still sore, but I went out for a short walk today,

and it was great to be by the Rhine again.

I do not like stopping home all day and have

been rather stir-crazy these past days, but the main

things is that my barbecued cracked ribs

are healing. And it did give me lots of

time for being creative!

One of the things I made is a box canvas, 12 x 9 1/2". It had already

 been painted before, and I wanted something new. I

worked it over using scraps of paper napkins, 

torn pieces of old letters, stamps from an old

passport, and loads of paints, sprays, German glass 

glitter, crackle glaze,

various Frantage embossing powders, 

and some lovely pink and green iridescent waxes 

from Pentart. I had great fun playing with this.

I added the transparent photo of a man and his

son. I don't know who they are, let's just say the represent

all who have somehow passed through the

world, written those letters, used the

passports etc. The photo is just a shadow or 'shade'

of them all. Friday, January 27th is the International

Holocaust Remembrance Day.

I am linking to Art Journal Journey, Erika's wonderful theme

of 'Tell me a story', Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin.

and Simon Monday Challenge, spread your wings.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
