All that glisters....

Hi  Everybody!

Time is flying, hope it's flying well for you!

Yesterday I made a 10" tag with Klimt's image of 

Adele Bloch-Bauer, which was featured in the wonderful

film 'Woman in gold'. I painted the tag with Maya gold in 

turquoise and used a CWS stencil to add the squares 

with pewter metallic paint. The image was fussy cut, and 

surrounded by gold leafing in various shades. I also used some

gold rip-off foil to add some more gold shine here 

and there. I doodled lots of swirls into the background

using  gold pen, and gave Adele a coat of liquid glass. I

sewed the layers together, and added 2 tag-embellies

(thanks Donna!).

I am linking to Simon Monday challenge, use a stencil,

and to Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin.

And as I like the image, I had fun playing with it in my digital

programme, layering the images one over the

other to give this nice effect. The quote is, of course, from 

Shakespeare's 'Merchant of Venice':

And I have another tag using torn and sewed paper for

Tag Tuesday, Joan's theme of The beach:

And last but not least, some photos from my walks and/or

balcony:

Saint Swidbert watching over his town:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
