Hi Everybody!
Today we are starting a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday - TIOT-and the theme this time is animals. They can be real or imaginary ones, and projects of all formats are allowed and welcome. As usual you have 2 weeks to link to our blog. I am also linking to Neet's challenge at AJJ, as elephants are hairy and have fur in their ears. I made another elephant, this time a hippie elephant surrounded by flowers, and singing, 'If you are going to San Francisco....'
And this wonderful photo fits well:
Today we are also starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our lovely Wendy is hosting and roses is her theme. She has made some lovely examples on our blog. I made a hybrid piece, put together using photos,
and painted backgrounds, digitally combined:
And some thinkies- funnies:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I am loving your hippie Elephant Valerie. And I'm happy to see you back at TIOT. This lady is the perfect example for the new challenge. And I am loving that tag. Roses is a great challenge. I'm not sure I'll be home long enough to make any tags for it, but maybe. Have a great Tuesday! hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. Enjoy your vacation, have fun! Hugs!
DeleteLovely art and enjoyed the funnies
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine!
DeleteSan Francisco is great place to see. But costly
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
I enjoyed San Francisco very much, even without flowers in my hair!
DeleteI absolutely adore your hippie elephant who is going to San Francisco. Just adorable and really colorful, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful tag. Stunning roses and a great entry.
LOVE the baby elephant and the man fixing his car. So cute.
Thanks Elizabeth. I love the dog repairing the car, too! Hugs!
DeleteI love your hippie elephant very much-so sweet. great memes too-hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, have a lovely day! Hugs!
DeleteHappy elephant going to San Francisco. I know that song. Cute baby elephant. Love the dog mechanic. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. That song is a real ear-worm! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteHi Val, good morning!Love your Hippie elephant and I am singing along with him! Love the photo, too. And the tag is gorgeous, love it. Have a happy day, hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, glad you like my elephant. I think I will be singing all day! Hugs!
DeleteLove your hippie elephant, and yes I am too now singing the song!! Your tag is beautiful Valerie and as always I enjoy the funnies.
ReplyDeleteThaanks Sue, have fun singing! Hugs!
DeleteI can see that once again you have been munching on magic mushrooms, Valerie! How else could you come up with this psychedelic elephant? What a vision! I shall have to check the list of Timothy Leary's dedicated entourage and I am quite sure I will find your name. Maybe old pictures need to be scrutinized carefully so that I can find your image. What a life you have lived! It's little wonder that you are able to find so many rare species of birds, all phantasmagorical and brilliantly hued. Your powers of observation obviously are enhanced in countless ways. You are the Sage of Balconia, the Guru of Germany, the Devotee of the Different! Your tag is quite lovely too, although not on the scale of shimmering, lumbering elephants. That is hard to top! I shall be leading a small group of birders this morning and I will be straining to find them something comparable. Doubtless my search is doomed to failure! Have a lovely Tuesday. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteNow wouldn't that be nice! I don't need mushrooms, I'm naturally crazy! I just have fun making silly things! And you seem to have fun writing extraordinary things about my creations! I was out and about with Heike all morning, and we went for a delcious meal, yummy! Now I need to have a snooze and sleep it all off! Have fun with your birders, and if ou do happen to find a psychadelic elephant in the woods, please take a photo! BIG hugs, Valerie
DeleteLove your elephant and the photo of mama and baby. I think elephants are so wonderful. ALso loved the quote by Einstein.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love elephants, too, such fabulous animals, and they are clever. Have a great day!
DeleteLovely to see you back at TioT Valerie and with such a lovely colourful piece. Love this hippy Elephant and the photo you hsared of mother and baby elephant is adorable. Your roses tag is gorgeous too. Enjoyed reading the funnies and the 'dog mechanic' is a hoot!
ReplyDeleteHoping to make the most of a week off childcare duties and it's been nice to pop in for a visit.

DeleteI love your elephant! San Francisco also happens to be one of my favourite songs ever! Are you taking part in the life book tasters this year? There's a few more days of art soul gathering left, which I'm really enjoying. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, I love that song, too. Yes, I've registered for the life book tasters, and I'm busy with art-soul, too, but I'm just choosing a few of the projects. Have fun! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely elephant, I really love it. It's so cute, have a nice week !
ReplyDeleteThanks Kinga, you have a great week, too!
DeleteAnother wonderful elephant from your brush and this time a hippie one. I loved the song and always wanted to wear flowers in my hair. If I could choose a time to go back to I would have to be a flower child, but not a smoking dope one. I would ride all over town on a magnificent elephant like the one on your journal page and I would be dressed as colourful as he is and we would make our grand entrance everywhere.
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry Valerie, you caught me dreaming, I love your elephant and the sentiment so much. Thanks for joining in with my theme at AJJ..
I hope you are having a lovely week
Hugs, Neet xx
What a wonderful dream, Neet, we can perhaps go together, with flowers in our hair and happily singing. We don't need dope, we would just be happy! A really lovely dream, thanks for sharing!
DeleteThat elephant is truly in the flower power spirit :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I got stuck in flower power since the 1960s!
DeleteLoved the memes and the pieces. The first one was fun and the second lovely.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Thanks Sandra, have a great day!

DeleteI love your Tag Valerie, the roses are fab, like cabbage roses,which are my favourite type. Great placement of the clock just emerging from behind the roses. xx
