Hedgehogs and birds

Hi Everybody!

It was still very hot here again, but from tomorrow it should get

a bit cooler.

For Tag Tuesday, our new theme of animals,

I have made a mixed media tag. The background was gessoed, 

painted and textured with a stamp-roller. The birds and 

hedgehog were collaged with a paper napkin.

The hedgehog was sent with other wonderful

napkins by our lovely Yvonne, so thanks again! I sewed it onto

2 other layers and added a scrap of  ribbon

as embellishment. I also added some glass seed beads

to the flowers and berries.

And don't forget, you have until next Monday evening

to join in the 'feathered friends' challenge

at TIOT.

I have been looking for shady paths to walk along these past days.

It's mostly pleasant down by the Rhine, and I love to watch

the ships cruising by. The 2 little canoes were faster

than the huge boat: 

There is some work going on where the moat used to be,

I wonder what they are doing?

I found some shadow in the porch of the basilica:

The birds who live in this little house even have an address, perhaps

for making sure their tweets arrive?

Have a great day, take care

and thank a lot for coming by!
