Hi Everybody!
Today we are starting a new challenge at More Mixed Media. As always, our challenges run for 4 weeks, and anything mixed media goes, with an optional colour challenge - pink. Hope to see YOU there!
I made an A4 mixed media piece. I used pieces from a deconstructed tag to make the tag in the middle. The background is recycled cardboard from an Amazon envelope. I added some vintage tissue paper with maps, and an image stamped onto a coffee pod paper. I sewed round the edges with pink and added some flowers. The sentiment was hand written. I am also linking to Elle's language challenge at AJJ:
Some photos taken with my phone on my Monday walk:
Walking through the park in the old moat:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
You and the art crew constantly amaze me with your ability to take the mundane and turn it into something of beauty. Thanks for letting us tag along on the walk.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling well.
Hugs
Thanks Sandra, have a wonderful day!
DeleteLove your mixed media piece Valerie and beautiful photos as always. I hope you are healing up well. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, I'm doing well! Have a great day!
DeleteYour mixed media entry is beautiful, Valerie. I am so impressed because there is SO much going on with this beautiful piece. And, even though I'm not a fan of pink, this was very tastefully done. Thanks for sharing this with us using Elle's theme at Art Journal Journey, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers in the meadow. Love the horses and the tree lined pathway, too. Great shots from your phone, dear. Hope you are healing well.
Thanks E! I tried to tone the pink down with the brown background.... The horses always looks so happy, I love watching them!. Have a great day!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! Hope you slept well! Love your art today, so pretty. It's still bad weather here, hope it's not as bad where you are. Have a great day, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah!. Cold, wet and windy here, too. Hope you are all well and fit. Hugs to all!
DeleteLovely mixed media with a touch of pink and fabulous photos as always. ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie! Love the new avatar with Bella!
DeleteLove the vintage lady and all your fun supporting and framing elements including the flowers. A fab look! Lovely pictures from your walk too - glad you are walking again!!! Hugz
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, it was good to be outside again. Enjoy your day!
DeleteA lot of different steps go into this piece, Valerie, and the result is a lovely mixed media tableau, with pink as required. For this I award you ten out of ten! The walk around the moat looks quite wonderful and I am hearing bird song in my head. That would be a very agreeable little perambulation, finished off no doubt by a coffee at a sidewalk café. Life can be so pleasant at times. Now, if only we could get COVID to go where defeated viruses go to, the world would be very grateful. Yesterday it rained on and off here but I was outside nonetheless and watched an industrious pair of House Wrens building their nest. A pair of Tree Swallows were challenging them for the same nest box, but the wrens seemed to have gained the upper beak! It is mid week already. I hope the rest of it is good to you. Hugs and kisses. David
ReplyDeleteHi David, many steps indeed, but I still don't like it! The walk through the most was really filled with birdsong, I love sitting there for a rest. But still no coffees, everything is closed here except essential shops. Here it's cold, set and stormy, but yesterday evening we had a wonderful rainbow 🌈. Glad to hear that the little arena got the upper beak in next building. Have a good week, take care! Hugs to you both!
DeleteThis is a beautiful page Valerie. I like the touch of pink you used. It really stands out beautifully on the brown. And such wonderful spring photos too. I love seeing all the green. Ours is coming, and especially might after today's rain. But we need the rain so no complaints. Have a great middle of your week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. I love seeing everything greening up in spring!
DeleteI love all the delicious texture on this piece. I’m planning to do some mixed media play today so this is good inspiration for me. Hugs, Teresa
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa, have fun!
DeleteCardboard adds such fabulous texture to your piece! Love your wildflowers, I am even trying to appreciate the pesky dandelions in the lawns now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, glad you are appreciating dandelions these days!
DeleteSpring flowers and lovely spring scenes. The perfect outing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was indeed!

DeleteI so enjoyed my walk with you this morning, and I enjoyed your lovely mixed media piece as well. Such a lovely image in the centre and so much texture surrounding her with just the right amount of pink making a pop on the page.
ReplyDeleteHope that you are feeling better following your fall.
Hugs, Neet xx
