Friday this and that

Hi Everybody!
It's nearly weekend!

For Paint Party Friday and Tag Tuesday, texture, I made a tag
using a hand-painted background, painted in
turquoise, green and blue Maya Gold paints.
I stamped the image in Archival black and embossed it 
with Ranger holographic EP. I matted it with 2 different 
backgrounds which I sewed together before adding the
embellishments. I love the colours and texture created
by the EP. I am also linking to Simon Monday challenge,
touchy-feely.






This is the wonderful throw and splash wall in the room where I
have my art group - I find it very inspiring:


 The space under the roof in the big barn at the farm/zoo is crammed
with interesting old things:









 A stream runs through the grounds which then flows into the
River Erft:




Some more of the inhabitants:



Just LOVE this one:








And this handsome one really knew it!:


Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  22. Your art work is so wonderful! I love the bacground colors! You have a great space to evolve yourself in, wow! And such many exciting old things in the barn! It's a museum! Lovely animals and do I see donkeys there as well? I love goats, they are so fun. And a lovely horse. Such a wonderful place also.

  23. The tag is absolutely amazing. I love how you added the metal peacock. It really makes it fabulous. And I love the donkeys in your photos. The one you mentioned is really amazing. I think donkeys/burros are really cute animals. They are often overlooked and underrated but that makes them more special. :) Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
