Sunday post

Hi Everybody!

It's been a sunny day here, albeit very windy, but I enjoy

wind, so it was fine with me.

I made this mixed media tag using recycled 

cardboard last week. I used various scraps of paper

napkins and old letters/ books. The background was painted

 and embossed with Frantage, and everything was sewed together:

There's a new challenge starting at digitally made.

Thanks for the tip, Annie!

I didn't think I would manage to get something done, bit I did, so here it is.

Everything needs to be completely digital.

The Digis are from Mischief Circus, serif and me:

The pictures were taken on my walk yesterday:

I spied a heron on the field when I was going down

to the Rhine. It was good 50 yards away, but I hauled it

in with my zoom:

This bird had grey feathers and a rose-pink breast, I have

no idea what it is. I waited some minutes,

but it would not turn round:

I love hawthorn:

This little cutie didn't mind having his

photo taken:

Have a good week, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

It's weekend!

Hi Everybody!

It's a three day weekend, the sun is shining, and it's neither 

freezing nor raining today - wonderful! 

Today I am sharing a mixed media A3 journal page

made at the art group. I used a vintage image, which

I printed out in sepia and fussy cut. The background was

gessoed, painted with acrylics in sand and ocker, and textures

with a brayer. I used a TH die-cut 'waste' as a stencil and

painted the tree. The birds, numbers, Hebrew alphas, diamonds

and spots were also added with stencils, using burnt sienna

paint with a sponge. I added 2 painted strips and my quote - finished!

I am linking to Simon Monday challenge - numbers, and to 

Moo Mania, faces.

Beautiful flowers everywhere:

garden of the care home:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Friday this and that

Hi Everybody!

For Paint Party Friday,  for Simon Monday challenge,

add numbers, and Moo Mania, faces, I have an A4 mixed media 

journal page.

The Mona stencil is from Stencilry.Org

And I have another mixed media tag, with many layers and a stenciled rose.

This time I needed a flat tag to send in a 'normal'

envelope, so in spite of using corrugated card, many layers, textures

 and sewing, I was able to post it cheaply.

Sunrise is always my fave time of day:

Recently I showed photos of this railed off oak tree in

 the grounds of the Diakonie, with inscriptions,

and the date March 22nd 1887, and I didn't know

why this was special - now I do! It was planted to 

celebrate the 90th birthday of the Prussian Emperor

William I.

Some photos from my morning walks to the clinic - enjoy:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
