Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's nearly weekend, so hope you have a good one! We've got more rain predicted, and the Rhine is already high, so thank goodness for waterproof boots and coats! I think my fingers are starting to respond to the treatment, they don't feel so bad today, so that's very good. Thanks to all who sent good wishes, much appreciated!

For Eileen's green challenge at AJJ I have another hybrid piece, put together using a hand-painted background, some strips of torn book paper, a vintage photo, and some elements from Serif. The photo shows a distant cousin of Erika, and her name was Emily, but I haven't been able to find out more about her. I placed her here in the window. The original photo was sepia, but  tried a new trick and changed the figure to green, leaving the background sepia. So I am also linking to TIOT, new technique, and to Paint Party Friday.

Here is the original photo:

This week I went on the tram to Hofgarten to visit my feathered friends. There is lots of green there, too:

Here at the Rhine the water is once again rising, a lot of the meadows are underwater, but the paths are still walkable, even if it's all rather muddy:

And our local bookshop is showing a lot of books about strong women:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
