Happy Birthday PPF

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!

  9. Just 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.

  11. Your PPF birthday wishes are wonderful. I remember what they came from and you did a great makeover.

    I 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.

  37. All wonderful art pieces Valerie and the celebration page is so jolly and just right for a birthday.

    No wonder you love living where you are with so many different things to see and do. Your seagull photographs always take my fancy and the one on the wooden post looking quizzical is brilliant. Always one I can't stop looking at in your fantastic collections.

    Have a great weekend

    Love Chrissie xx
