Sunday post

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing one of the paper/fabric collages I have been making 

recently. The background was a painted sheet from my stash,

and I used various scraps of fabric, painted paper and

mirri card. The eye has been printed on a 'skin', made of a mix of gold paint and gel medium, spread onto a piece of plastic and allowed to dry. 

Thenit can be carefully peeled off and stamped or printed. This was just

one of the smaller scraps left over after using the main part, which

you will see another time. The photo is my distant relation, Erika,

taken shortly before she had to flee Germany during the Nazi time.

I have often used the photo of her as a little girl, dressed up in a winter 

coat and fur muff. I had fun using different stitches and doing some

 machine embroidery here.

I am linking to Simon Monday challenge, you've got the edge

And I have another tag for Chrissie's 'Favourite

colour combination' at Tag Tuesday. 

Here are a few photos taken on yesterday's walk:

 Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
