Along the shore

Hi Everybody!

Another week is flying by, and the weekend is almost upon us.
For Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin, and for 

Simon Monday Challenge, Nautical I made a mixed
media canvas (12 x 9"). The image in the centre was
done with a mod-podge transfer. When it was rubbed free of
paper I used some soft structure paste, roughed up with a spatula,
to make the surrounding - I wanted it to look like an
old wall. I kept it very simple, painting with  Deco art acrylics in Titan buff
and a little brown, and then shading with some of my home-made
vintage brown ink. I added the shells and string using silicone glue.
I love the grungy look of the transfer as opposed to the crisper
line you get from just gluing a picture down.

I am also linking to Creative Artiste and Eclectic Ellapu,

both anything goes

Now I am continuing with our trip to 'the other side'.

The ducks welcomed us before we started our walk along the shore:

The cyclists were waiting on the ramp for the next ferry:

 We saw lots of boats, large and small along the river:

Fun to look over to 'our' side:

Tractors at the camping place to help get the caravans etc

This 'camping barrel' can be rented for a holiday:

The camping grounds are beautifully kept:

 Nomen est omen:

The next part of the story  will take us to crocodile land!

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