T sTands for loTs of This and ThaT for Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Tuesday is always a busy blog day, and this one will be no exception!

We are celebrating a new challenge at Tag Tuesday,

Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday and also her

2nd on the 2nd, so I am trying to pack it

all under one hat today.

At Tag Tuesday our host this week is my lovely friend Chrissie,

and her theme is faces.

I made a mixed media tag, using a corrugated cardboard

substrate, which was gessoed, inked and

embossed with Frantage EPs. The image is my version of 

Modigliani's painting of Max Jacobs.  I  'cased' a whole

row of his wonderful portraits a couple of years back.

Here the image was digitally cut out, and placed onto

a grungy background - a piece of an old wall by the

castle ruins, onto which I superimposed some

Hebrew lettering. I sewed all the layers together, and added

some studs and a Ticket made with 2 TH stamps.

If you look  closely you can see I stamped it 

upside down, perhaps so that Max can read it?! I am also

linking to Go Tag Thursday, where the theme is tickets.

Here I would like to welcome all the nice ladies

of the T Gang.

For Elizabeth's TSFT and for 2nd on the 2nd I have a

hybrid piece made a year or two back. The sunshine in my cup has to

be coffee!

Last Tuesday we were given a tour of the old buildings of the

Diakonie. Florence Nightingale was a student nurse here.

The old Chapel has been modernised inside, which makes it 

very light and airy. I love the contrast between the old, wooden fixtures

and the white simplicity:

The gardens were beautiful, too:

The tour was a little (lot!) longer than anticipated,

so some of us skived off and went to the ice parlour....

This time I'm showing the mug of tea one of the others 

was drinking:

And before I forget, a quick reminder that you still have a 

week to join our 'transport' challenge

at TIOT.

Have a great day you all, take care, 

and thanks a lot for coming by!
