T sTands for sTeampunk and more

Hi Everybody!

Tuesday is always a busy day, so I'd better get
started without more ado.
At TIOT we are starting a new challenge
😎Steampunk😎

As always, you have 2 weeks to join us, and projects of
all formats are welcome. Looking forward to seeing you there!

I made a mixed media /hybrid piece. The original was painted,
collaged, stamped and stenciled. Then I added some digital elements
from Mischief Circus and me. This is the hybrid version. I am
also linking to Art Journal Journey, Rosie's lovely theme of circles:


And this is the basic version:






At Tag Tuesday you still have a week to link up your animal
creations. Michele has made another post to
inspire you there. I recreated a piece I made
some years ago from the photos I had. The BG was stamped with 
Paper Artsy stamps, the leopard and clock are from
LaBlanche.  The chandelier is a rub-on from a pack of Xmas
embellishments.
Once again I sewed all the layers together.
I am also linking to creative artiste, anything goes




Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday Party.
This is the little market by the Rhine which opens
every Wednesday:


And this is a coffee-bike - wonderful invention!
And the coffee is made cup for cup with an espresso
machine and tastes
wonderful:




As you can imagine, this is a place I enjoy stopping at!


And at home there's always cappuccino and this week
I can offer you some lemon cake:


It is a pleasure to see all the flowers blooming just now:






This is the view from the end of our road towards the tram stop:


Lots of people plant flowers in the earth around the trees
along the road:




And I had to admire this wonderful balcony:

!
Have a great day, take care,
and thank a lot for coming by

    The tiger tag has a wonderful feel to it and then you sewing as well that just finishes it off to perfection

  7. I really loved your first fantastic version of the Steampunk page when I saw it at TioT's. the hybrid version looks amazing with all the extras you added. The tiger tag is wonderful as well.
    The coffee cycle looks great and I'm sure a very popular stop for refreshing drinks.
    Your Lemon cake looks very tempting and I think it would be delicious with my cup of tea as well, if I could grab hold of it.
    Happy T day Valerie.

  8. I really enjoyed the steampunk entry for TioT. It is wonderful in both the original and altered. I also enjoyed your tag because the leopard may well be able to change his spots under your artful ability.

    The flowers were simply perfect and I think that balcony is one I would LOVE to have. Lots of color and beautiful hangings.

    Of course, the Coffee Bike is fabulous. Needless to say, I've never seen anything like it before. No wonder you like to visit there.

    Your lemon cake and cappuccino are simply out of this world. It's a good thing I just ate, because I am already tempted. Thanks for sharing the cake and cappuccino, along with the Coffee Bike and your art with us for T this Tuesday. I LOVE that bike!

    Steampunk scissors-LOVE!!
    And oh, a coffee bike-would love to see something like that in my parts:) Happy T day!

  11. Very nice steampunk page Valerie. You did a great job combing circles and machine tools. :) And another awesome tag. Your lemon cake looks delicious. I'll take a piece please.

The coffee bike is such a good idea and the flower photos are stunning. As for the lemon cake, it looks so delicious and I would love a piece please 😉. Wishing you a Happy T Day! J 😊

  21. I really love the steampunk scissors you created on your page. And the clock next to the leopard with the jeweled eye makes me wonder if the leopard can change his spots before time runs out.

    I enjoyed visiting the quaint, cobblestone pedistrian market. And thank you for sharing the sunshine and beautiful flowers. Today is another rainy day for us and we are expected to set a record for coldest daytime temps in June.

    Your lemon cake is sunshine on a plate. I love your blue and white dishes, I think I told you this before. The cow peeking over the lemon tray made me smile and is that a black cat on the flower pot? Happy T Day!

  22. First of all, you really do wonderful steampunk. I love both of these -- your layering is really nice -- just enough.

    And oh, that market! I'd love going there. And I'd especially love your beautiful lemon cake. That tray is fabulous and it just looks so pretty and delicious!

    Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen

  27. Your pieces are very thought provoking and the blues in the backgrounds restful.
    What a wondrous walk with those beautiful flowers on view. Let's grab a coffee to go from the coffee bike and go back and have a piece of that yummy cake.

  28. The wheel of life really spoke to me Valerie!

    A coffee bike! What a good idea. I would like to stop there too. Is he there every wednesday?
    The flowers are lush! Rich in colour. Nature is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

  31. I can see a coffee-bike doing well here, and the lemon cake would go well with it.

    I love all the flowers! It's such a joy when people plant where others can enjoy them, too :)

    Happy T Tuesday!

  33. I love your take on Steampunk! Such fabulous colours too! Your leopard tag is wonderful with that sparkly eye! I would love to come to the market especially if it includes a stop at the Coffee Bike! Lemon cake is one of my favourites and would definitely be good with a cappuccino! Love seeing all the flowers in your area! Happy Tea Day! Chrisx

  34. Love your steampunk pieces . What a fabulous blog you have , such a lot to look at and admire. I think it is such a great idea that people plant flowers round the trees, what a great idea and I also love lemon cake too

  35. I love steampunk and your journal page does steampunk beautifully. your leopard is also most wonderful. the second flower you photographed seems like something from another planet! quite beautiful. have a lovely day! xo

  36. Beautiful post again ♥ The steampunk art is amazing and I love what you did with the tag too ♥♥♥ The Coffee Bike is a BRILLIANT idea and you'd find me there too. Then there is all of those beautiful flowers. I'd love to just transplant them to my yard but that may be a bit difficult :) I'm down with my back again and had to have and emergency injection yesterday morning . Which is why I didn't post for "T" day. It hit me Monday afternoon like a building fell on me. Feeling much better today but still taking it super easy... so it looks like I'll be hiring the gardening helper for a couple of days. I still need lots of mulching done.

  37. Slightly late as the internet is slow, so I'm sure that lemon cake has all gone now as it looked delicious. Love both versions of the Steampunk page and the leopard tag looks fabulous.
    Have seen Coffee vans but never a bike, great idea. Lovely photos as usual.
