Hi Everybody!
Here's wishing us all a great weekend!
Today I have a hybrid piece for Elizabeth's collage fodder / food challenge at AJJ. The background was painted and the circles drawn with a stencil. The scribbled circles and text were added digitally. The face is a copy of one I made last year and I collaged it onto the magazine cut out of the model:
Some funnies/ thinkies:
Some photos from our little town:
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I truly love this. Your sunny day pics are beautiful. Seeing the pogo stick made me smile- it reminded me of the day my Gran tried to have a go on one! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteThe photos were taken in summer, sunny days are always good!
DeleteI don't worry about age...I just work on being the best possible person.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
That'a a good way of thinking!
DeleteWhat a fun entry you have created for AJJ. It's a great hybrid entry. I love the sentiment, too. Thanks for this great entry at AJJ using Bleubeard's and my theme.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos from your town, especially those around the wall. and I laughed at the women acting their true age! Hope you feel better soon, dear.
Thanks Elizabeth, I love taking pics of the narrow lanes and old walls and houses.
DeleteLovely page and fun thinkies. The photos are gorgeous -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, have a great weekend!
DeleteI like the sky and river photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, enjoy your weekend!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! Hope you slept well and can enjoy today! Love your fun art and beautfiul photos! Big hugs from us all! Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, have a great weekend, hugs to all!
DeleteLustig ist das Journal von dir geworden und die Fotos sind sher schön , aber auch die Witze machen gute Laune!
ReplyDeleteScvhönes Wochenende wünsche ich dir!
Lieben Gruss Elke
Manchmal brauchen wir eben was lustiges. Dir auch ein schönes Wochenende, Alles Liebe!
DeleteYour first funny reminds me of something my dear daddy used to say. Don't grow old gracefully, grow old disgracefully. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs. Deb.
ReplyDeleteYour daddy was wise. I think I manage a lot disgracefully and I enjoy it! Have a great weekend, hope you are keeping well!
DeleteThis is quite a woman, Valerie, with her pear-shaped head and gold lamé dress. The first blog I looked at this morning had beautiful blue orchids so this is a stark transition. I am not quite sure how I react to her, but it's not with warm, fuzzy feelings. Your creativity is none the less impressive for all that. Her head looks a bit like Humpty Dumpty now that I look at her again. The woman on the pogo stick reminds me of an old joke - What do you call a nun on a pogo stick? Hopalong Chastity! With that I will leave you to enjoy the weekend. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteWell, I wouldn't want to meet that lady either. Nice joke about the nun on the pogo stick. I would like to try somethingv like that again, it looks like fun. I do sometimes go on the swings or woosh down the slide when nobody's looking, always fun. Why do we need to be serious when we get older? I want to have a bit of fun! I hope you will have fun over the weekend, lots of birds to see and good meals cooked by your delightful Miriam! BIG hugs, Valerie
DeleteTonight I am cooking for her.
DeleteI am sure I am not perfect, but here is what will be dinner. We are just about to have Oka Mushroom Cheese and crackers with a glass of Australian sherry. For dinner it will be lemon/mushroom chicken, with vegetable rice, and broccoli with a cheese sauce made from a very agreeable Pecorino Romano. All will be helped along with a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. Now that all sounds good to me. Actually I have made it for her before and it is a firm favourite. Since we are discussing the whole thing here I might as well glean all my brownie points. I set a nice table with candles, and we linger over dinner. I make sure the plates look attractive too. Then we will have a decaf coffee. No dessert tonight, but quite often we have a cannoli. That's it!
DeleteOh my, David, this sounds heavenly. I have got lazy and just eat a sandwic h or yogurt while watching TV or reading - sigh, it's not the same. You definitely deserve all of your brownie points, that's for sure. I'll say this again I wish I lived nearer! BIG hugs, Valerie
DeleteThis is such a fun page Valerie. I love this ladies gold outfit. And the circle theme too. What a great page for Elizabeth's (and Bleubeard's ) challenge. Yes, let's hope it's a nice weekend but it's wet here. oh a good day to make some art though-smile. Enjoy your weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, sometimes I have cutouts in my folder for years, so I'm glad to have a nice selection nows! Here we're still having nice weather, more like spring than the middle of November. This afternoon is a good day for a nap, so that#s where I'm heading just now! Hugs!
DeleteFun post, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteLoving your beautiful photos as always.
Thanks Veronica, our little town is very photogenic!
DeleteThanka CJ, they were taken in summer. have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteCollage is alwaysy fun to make, you never know how it will turn out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shares. Hope your weekend is wondrous and loaded with energy.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Thanks Sandra. I'm off to search for the energy! Hugs!
DeleteBardzo ciekawe zdjęcia. Miłego weekendu.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, you, too!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder where the time is since again it took a while before I finally came here. That lady I would probably call an egghead. I like your funnies (I certainly belong to the immature group) and the photos of your little town are beautiful as well. Those blue shutters are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTime flies faster the older we get. Whole days just seem to evaporate, and I have nothing to show for them. Yes, that lady is an egg head. We have to have fun where we find it! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteLove how you play with your art. Have a great weekend. Anesha x
ReplyDeleteThanks Anesha, have a great day!
DeleteLove the art work vj. Also loved your street photographs
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashok, I love taking pictures here!
DeleteA fabulous page, I love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your pretty town too Valerie.
Alison
Thanks Alison, have a nice Sunday!
DeleteEverything about today's post makes me smile. Your wonderful art page, the terrific photos ofyour town and the fun words of wisdom you shared in the memes! Some days it all comes together. I hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a slow Sunday with lots off feet-up time!
DeleteLove the photos of your town and the funnies - some I must remember the words of as they are so true.
ReplyDeleteGreat journal page - I love orange in art. Not a colour I can wear so I can get my supplies out and use it in my journal and it is so good to see it here in yours. A great idea for the page, I am going around in circles at the moment with a stonking head cold - at least I think it is.
Take care of you.
Hugs, Neet xx
Sorry about your cold, I hope you will soon feel better. I love orange in art, too, but I wouldn't wear it. Take care of yourself and be well soon!💓😘💓
DeleteNothing beats having fun!
ReplyDeleteYessssss 👍👍👍!
Deletelovely photographs of your town.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Lovely photos of your town, Valerie. I love the light in the picture with the bricked arch. The sunlight masked by the clouds is striking. As for your collage, it captures the frustration of going around in circles like a slug to the stomach. Wow!
