T sTands for This and ThaT for TIOT and Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are beginning a new challenge at

TIOT

-Numbers and or letters-

As always, projects of all format or allowed, and you have

2 weeks to link your creations to us -

hope to see you there!

I made and A3 mixed media piece. The background was gessoed

and then painted with cream with a little streak of yellow ochre here

and there. The numbers, diamonds and cogs were added with stencils

and burnt umber paint. I used various bits of paper napkins and

then added some splatters. Two of 'my' men were placed centre 

stage and given some contrasting colour and some gold leafing

. I shaded their edges with umbra pastel chalk. 

The sentiment is from Dina Wakley.

I am also linking to Rosie's circles challenge at 

Art Journal Journey

This is another hybrid piece, using  my Matisse ladies cut

digitally and placed on a grungy background. I used the

photo of the splash and throw wall to cut them out.

Today is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday.

My drink is cappuccino, drunk from my new mug showing

Duisburg and the wonderful Lifesaver Nana from Niki de Saint Phalle

that stands there in the pedestrian zone. 

I got the mug as a present recently

And today I have the last photos from my trip to the petting zoo/ farm/

museum:

This animal did not look dangerous:

This old 'manor house' was next door:

The old chapel was beautiful:

Have a great day, take care

and thank a lot for coming by!
