Tuesday post

Hi Everybody!

A quick post today - well, quicker than usual, time is running out on me!

This is another face collage, inspired by Karen O'Brien's lesson in Art is magic. I used a magazine page for the background and sewed it onto black card. The lady was cut out and collaged, other bits were from my stash. I am linking to Neet's type challenge at AJJ:






Took these photos this morning in our little town:

 


Clouds and a rainbow are always fascinating:







Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  3. What a unique journal page. The eyes may see everything, but the ones you drew sure are mesmerizing.

    I especially liked the photos of the rose of sharon. At least I hope that is what that is.

  6. I do enjoy your Karen O'Brien faces and this one is perfect on that gentleman's body. How you have matched the two figures up is incredible - just perfect. That ophthalmic poster is great and the words are so true I love looking at eyes and there are a few here for me to see.
    Thanks for joining in again with my theme at Art Journal Journey.

    1. Thanks Neet, I am having fun making and collaging these faces - there are more to come! The ophthalmic poster is an ICAD made many years ago. Have a great day!

  7. You have had fun with these faces, Valerie. I am becoming so familiar with them I am expecting to see them on the street! Last evening we had our meeting in the park, and it was quite delightful. To be outdoors and physically together again was wonderful. It had been a hot day, but by early evening it had cooled down a little and there was a breeze, so it was pleasant. Your little town is looking lovely and it is hard to believe that just a few weeks ago the region around you was ravaged by dreadful floods that caused so much destruction, and many deaths too. The moss growing up between the stones looks rather like my patio. I will have to do some work on it, maybe even before Miriam prods me! Your sky shots are always dramatic and the rainbows are both splendid and whimsical. Enjoy your day. Hugs and kisses, David

    1. Good morning David. At lest it should still be morning at your place! I went to the hairdresser's today, and now I look less wild and scraggy. Glad you had a good time meeting up with your friends, we've had to wait a long time for things like that. And even better that the weather was kind to you! I love the mossy cobbles, but today it was wet, and then the cobbles are very slippery so I needed to 'walk circumspectly' so as not to land on the ground! I am going shopping with my neighbour in half an hour, he's a good chap and it's a big help not to have to carry the shopping all the way home. Have a great day, take care, hugs to you both!

  8. I love the chocolate girl — first a master painting, then the logo of a chocolate company. Now in your collage.

  19. Those faces you are making are such fun, and this one really makes such an excellent page. That Puritan woman serving must have quite the thoughts about her customer. And you had some pretty views today on the your walk, especially that rainbow. Wow. And you did get some great photos of it. Hope you had a nice Tuesday and your Wednesday is a good one too. Hugs-Erika

  22. Valerie, that face is soooooo fun on this page. I love how you collaged it all together to make this very interesting scene. The wire glasses are perfect too. Fun, fun, fun and may be one of my favorite pages you have done with these faces. Lovely pictures from around your town too - especially the sky! TFS and Hugz.

  23. Forgot to tell you how much I love your banner with the furnaces/industrial things! Reminds of the Sloss Furnace and love the colors!

    1. That#s a picture taken at an industrial park in a neighbouring town, where everything is allowed to rust and partly revert back to nature. But it's not haunted - I hope!

  24. I love all the pictures, and the art work. I think I should add more to my Tea Post next week, but I''m always late because I might as well be on the moon! I've not done your kind of crafting, but I will do something once I think what I have made is worthy of veiwing! Have a great week!
