Hi Everybody!
Here's wishing us all a wonderful weekend, with sunshine, blue sky and lots of nice people around us. I am looking forward to a quiet and lazy weekend!
Today I have rather a strnge piece for Matilde's birds challenge at AJJ - I used photos, collage, die cuts, a painted background and some digital magic to put it together:
And I have another tag, this time made of fabric, for Pinky's 'use stenciling' challenge at Tag Tuesday. The faces are stenciled, the rest was done with machine stitching:
And some photos from my Friday morning walk - Blogger has shuffled them a bit :
I have seen this sxhip before, but it always makes me happy:
This tree fell down in a storm years back, but it's still producing leaves:
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I do like your bird art, it's so colourful.
ReplyDeleteYour tag is good too.

Enjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
We do indeed, it's so important! Happy weekend!
DeleteGood morning, Valerie: Since some might say that I have birds on the brain most of the time, I feel uniquely qualified to say that your creation this week is filled with inspiration. We would be justified in modifying the expression "busy as a bee" to "busy as a bird." And busy they are at this time of they year. One of our nest boxes now has five chickadee eggs in it and we will look forward to having them hatch and raising another family in our midst. I will be leading yet another bird walk this morning, this time for the local Women's Awareness Group, an organization started forty years ago by my friend, Mary, and still going strong. They are always a very keen group, and today they are even bringing their husbands or boyfriends, preferably not together! We are there for bird-watching, not for fisticuffs! Enjoy the weekend now upon us. Hugs and kisses, David
ReplyDeleteBe proud of your bird filled brain, you know more than many encyclopedias! Glad you have nice groups today, Hope the men don't fight over the Ladies. I Just cleared out my closet - who Put all those things in there!? Have a great day, big hugs!
DeleteYou sure like those faces and this one is a bit quirky. It's different and I like that it is unusual. Thanks for another great entry using Matilde's theme at AJJ. That tag is well done, too. I love how you sewed on the hair.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the boat on the river. It's my fav today. Keep our rivers clean!! Have a super weekend, dear.
Yes, I love quirky faces - and people! Yes, that's a beautiful boat, let's Hope more people and projects get 'clean' before it's too late! Hugs!
DeleteI'm excited to see another one of your heads, and this one is great, I love how you used all the digital elements. The feathers and birds make it great for Matilde's challenge. And I love the stenciled faces and how you created the hair. Very fun . I think it must also be fun to watch the river boats go by. . I hope you have a great weekend Valerie. My day will be helping lay the floor in the project since this is when my husband is off. I don't work as hard as he does, but sometimes being his cheerleader if he gets frustrated is more exhausting. He does not like how the floor is going in. Have a great relaxing weekend yourself. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, I love my heads, too. Now that Sounds strange, but you know what I mean. Have fun with laying the floor, und keep your hubby happy! Hugs!
DeleteAh, dandelions! Always good to see where they are left to go their own way :)
ReplyDeleteI Love dandelions. The park, and all of the Rhine meadows as well as the roadsides are left unmowed till end of September and then used as hay for the animals.
DeleteValerie, this is a stunning piece of art. I like the second one too. I wish I had the sunshine like in your photos. Hope you are well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole, Hope you soon get sunshine!
DeleteWow Valerie your bird piece is fabulous! I love the colours and textures, and beautiful photos too! Take care and have a very happy weekend, Sue xx
