Tags and heads

Hi Everybody!

Time is flying by again - it moves more quickly

than I can!

For Art Journal Journey, Erika's lovely theme of 'Tell me a story', and for Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin, I have a

hybrid piece made from 2 large tags I made this week. 

I scanned the tags into my computer, and with some digital magic

I put them into two of my heads and grunged them up a bit.

I placed them on a background made from another collaged

tag made this week which I will show another day. I changed the

colors to black and white in one of them and

added the sentiment:

For my mixed media pieces I used 10" kraft tags. First they were painted with olive and blue metallic paints, then stenciled using some new stencils Annette sent me for Christmas - thanks so much! After they were dry I used my 

clear-the-table technique

to collage them with all the UFOs flying about, and then used more stencils to draw the figures. To finish them off I added some white stenciling and some dotted highlights on the figures. I had fun making these, I haven't been able to do much lately as my fingers are not being very cooperative.

As I have used my new stencils I am also linking 

the tags to Simon Monday challenge

and to More mixed media

anything goes

These were the backgrounds before I pasted everything onto

them:

Recently I visited The Kunsthalle art museum

in Düsseldorf. I have a season-ticket which gets me into all

museums without having to pay, but I would have 

been very disappointed if I had paid 18€ to view this

'wool and water' exhibition:

And this exhibit really takes the biscuit -

this is not my idea of art:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
