That n this

Hi Everybody!

We had another cold and hazy day here,

but at least it was dry, so I was able to have a nice

walk along my beloved Rhine.

I would like to remind you that TAG TUESDAY is now an open 

challenge blog, and our theme is 'Bookworm', chosen by Chrissie -

hope to see you there:

For Linda's theme, '50 shades of red' at Art Journal Journey

I have a hybrid collage, using my own elements combined with

parts from Mischief Circus:

And I would like to share a little journal I finished today. Some of you 

may have seen this collage I made recently:

Now I have at last got round to making some pages to sew into it

and can use it as a journal. I made an old earing and some ribbon into a pretty clasp:

The pages are all water-colour paper: 

In between I sewed some smaller concertina pages,

perhaps for some private journaling:

I had to sew it with my machine as my fingers are not being

cooperative enough for hand-sewing:

But all in all, I like it!

I am linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin

and to More Mixed Media  

Ans as promised yesterday, I have some more photos from

my visit to Schloss (palace) Benrath. A wedding party was being held

there:

The island in the middle of the lake was well visited by

water fowl:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
