Hi Everybody!
This Friday we are celebrating the 7th birthday of
Congrats and thanks to Eva and Kristin for keeping it going so long!
I have altered an old piece to make my birthday greeting. This hybrid work has been made using figures I painted with the addition of some arty bits from Serif:
For Tag Tuesday I have a quick , digital tag for Wendy's spring flowers challenge:
And this is an A3 mixed media piece using napkins and stencils that I made together with the grandchildren of an ex-colleague. They had great fun pasting and getting sticky :
The warmer weather this week means I have been able to get out every day which was wonderful. The green bunnies have gone, now there are only yellow and white ones:
I always enjoy watching the gulls:
And I just enjoy wandering around our little town:
Beautiful morning scenes:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Yes, just another day of being awesome, as you are, with such a fantastic post. I just love love love.xxx [aNNie]

What a wonderful post, so much to see and enjoy. The journal page with those kiddies is so lively and such fun, LOVE it. The tag is wonderful, as is the page you made with the kiddies, I bet they enjoyed getting sticky with you! Hope you didn't need too long to clean up afterwards! Great photos as always, too. Have a lovely day, hugs, Sarah

Love your PPF piece, I feel the celebration joy! Beautiful spring tag and enjoyed your photos today.
ReplyDeleteYou've been seriously busy and creative! I love your walks and the gull pictures are particularly fun to see -- I won't see any in person for a few more months. You got some great positions on them, too!
ReplyDeleteJust another day of the awesome art you make. I love wandering around your little town, too. The gulls always make me think they are waiting for the ferry and I often wonder where they are going and what they will be doing.
ReplyDeleteThey always hang out there although there's a big notice telling people not to encourage the gulls....
DeleteOh it does look like Spring now!! I love seeing the gulls too! Your art looks such fun and I'm sure the youngsters enjoyed their art time with you! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteYour PPF birthday wishes are wonderful. I remember what they came from and you did a great makeover.
ReplyDeleteI love your spring inspired art, and was so glad to see you had been out and about every day. What a fun time you had and the yellow bunnies that magically changed color overnight (grin). Beautiful art and walk photos.
Your pieces are great but the third one is wondrous. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you're proud of your town. It looks like something out of a fairytale.
Hugs
A really happy fun, celebration page. The springtime art projects are beautiful as well and you always lovely quotes and sentiments.
