TGIF

Hi Everybody!

This has been a very busy week for me, so I am looking

forward to the weekend without appointments and with plenty

of time for doing nothing.

Lately I have been making a lot of pieces combining paper, fabric,

sewing and other media. Here I altered an old b/w postcard

from the 1930s (Adagio from Georg Kolbe)  by colouring it with
oil pastels. I gave the hair a coat 

of glossy accents to make it stand out even more. I sewed the

postcard to some recycled card coloured with the same

oil pastel colours. I added some textile embellishments to 

pick out some of the colours, and sewed it all onto some peeled, 

recycled corrugated cardboard, which I sprayed with various

acrylic sprays. I like how this one turned out:

For Go Tag Thursday, seaside, and Tag Tuesday, Chrissie's challenge of 

'my fave colour combination' I made a tag using a photo taken

many years ago at the Dead Sea, where I was on holiday. I love the

colours of the water and sky and the creamy colours of the salt

'statues'. I used one of my fave stamps for the quote:

Recently I walked with a friend to the neighbouring 

village of Lohausen, and then through the park there:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
