Mixed media, a snail and counting sheep

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy! We are expecting some bad weather this weekend, so that might mean less opportunity to go walking and more time spent at home to catch up on some tasks here. I have been taking my long walks every day and making the most of the dry weather.

On the 5th of each month we start a new challenge at More Mixed Media.

As always, our challenges are anything mixed media goes, this time with optional pink. I made this A3 mixed media page back in March, and am glad I worked in advance as I still having problems using my fingers:

I started off with a painted background with some added scraps - a piece of painted, heated and bubbled tyvek, a piece of hand coloured silk, some pink sequined cloth and a piece of silver gauzy stuff, which were sewn on:

Then I collaged lots of tissues, mostly from Jane Davenport, and some painted blobs, before finally doing some more sewing :

The challenge runs for a whole month, and there are prizes to win, so it would be great to see you joining in.

And some photos from an evening walk by the Rhine:

This snail oozed across my path:

The sheep have been grazing here the past few days. Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, they were taken with my cellphone which is not so good these days after taking a dip in the toilet:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
