Second on the Second

Hi Everybody!

For the next couple of months I will be undergoing a course of treatment

at the Diakonie, the local hospital, where I will be

spending a lot of time, so may not always

be able to keep up blogging every day.

Thursday is Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd, where we can link things

already shown at some time in the past.

I showed this woven piece 2 years back.

I cut a frame in A4 size from the back of an old paper pad, made

holes with my cropadile, and threaded it with linen yarn. I wove

strips of old linen, fibres, ribbon, burlap etc through the threads.

When it was done I mounted it on a piece of chipboard, 

which had been painted and embossed, and added

the beads at the bottom.
I am also linking to Paint Party Friday

I wrote the quote on the back:

For Yvonne's lovely theme of 'out and about' at Art Journal

Journey, I have a hybrid piece, using a water-colour background 

painted in 1991. It shows The Kloster (convent) at Sießen near Saulgau.

Bertha Hummel, who created all the Hummel figures, was a nun there.

She did some very fine drawings, which I like better than

the porcelain figures, and they can all be seen in the

museum there.

The pictures were taken at the weekend, some with sun, and some 

without,  where the water looks cold and grey: 

Have a great day, take care,

and thank a lot for coming by!
