Hi Everybody!
Here's wishing us all a happy weekend. Make
it a good one!
This is my last piece for my heavy metal challenge at AJJ. Thanks to all who played along with this challenge, I very much enjoyed seeing your creations.
The heads were cut from black card and stenciled with a gold pen:
Some more photos from the boat trip through Duisburg Harbour, the largest river harbour in Europe:
An old paddle-steamer:
The ancient harbour:
That's all for today.
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Your a little head of me. One of my sketch book project will be done in wires. But who knows when get to it. Love all water photos. Happy PPF

DeleteHi Val, good morning! Love your Art and beautiful Photos today. Here all is well, Take care, have a great Weekend! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, have a great weekend, hugs to all!
DeleteWhat a diverse collection of landscapes today, the ancient and modern, the industrial and natural. I have been watching Landscape Painter of the Year on Sky Arts, and your diversity reminds me of some of those episodes
ReplyDeleteStay safe, hugs, Deb
Thanks. I love these contrasts! Have a wonderful weekend, hugs!
DeleteLove your last to pieces of heavy metal art...you are very creative.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always exquisite...no matter the subject.
Hugs ❤
Thanks Jan, have a great Weekend!
DeleteValerie I changed my blogs name and it's and it's url to
DeleteAn Old Crone's Heartbeats.i just like this name. It fits me better
Thanks Jan!
DeleteYour metal page is amazing-you are so creative, and thanks for the boat ride-enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Hugs Kathy
Thanks Kathy, glad you enjoyed the boat ride!
DeleteI may have had gold birds flying in my mind, Valerie, but I am quite sure they have never flown across my face! Very creative finale to your metal page theme and the messages are oh so true too. Perhaps soon it will be possible once again to cruise down the waterways of Germany. In recent years Rhine cruises have been very popular with North American tourists and I know of several people who have taken them and enjoyed them greatly. However, cruising in general may have taken a fatal hit during the pandemic, and people may be very reluctant to confine themselves on ships with others, with the memory of the recent nightmares fresh in their mind. Enjoy the weekend. Hugs and kisses, David
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have birds flying in your head! Birds and faces remind me of Hitchcock! A lot of Cruises usually Take place all Year round, but of course, None Just now! At the moment we are Here in the kitchen baking cinnamon Rolls. Have a great weekend! Hugs to you both!
DeleteThe gold is very striking on the black paper. The harbor is so busy and colorful! Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ! Stay safe!
DeleteIt appears I'm once again running behind visiting your blog. I'll be by tomorrow (Sunday) to catch up on what I've missed. At least that's the plan, anyway, Valerie.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, be happy!
DeleteYour heads are always a favorite of mine Valerie, and I really like how you used black and the gold. The gold really pops. And I how you used the honeycomb in the brain. All those bits of info stored away. And mine brain is certainly birds and stars because I have always been told my head is in the clouds. Anyhow, enough babble from me. Enjoy your weekend. Hope it is sunnier and not as wet as mine is. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. I got to hear the same many times! Enjoy your weekend, hugs, Valerie
DeleteLove your artwork! The harbor is so beautiful. You certainly live in a beautiful spot on earth. Hope you are well and feeling good. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra. I am getting better! Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteThe secret to freedom is courage. I love that.
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is joyous.

A little notice:
I had problems with my blog settings, but now they have been fixed, that's why I disappeared from blog land for a few days!
Thanks Ella, I'm doing well! Glad your blog is fixed!

DeleteVery wise words on the heads and underneath. This is VERY inspiring and something I actually think about often - we can easily get caught up in success or failure (or our poor definitions of them). Love the pictures! Such an interesting place!!! Hugz
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. We often judge ourselves too harshly!
DeleteThat harbor would fascinate me for hours! Well, maybe not this time of year lol but definitely in warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteThe harbour is really fascinating, I love going there.
DeleteEager to get on the water again! This looks like such fun!
ReplyDeleteI Love being on and in water!
