Friday post on Thursday afternoon!

Hi Everybody!

I have been trying to get this post started since early this morning, but life somehow got in the way as it so often does!

As I am linking to Nicole's  FFO, I dug out some faces from the 1990s and rearranged some into little collages just for fun:




And a few larger versions:



The Latin text here means something like :No one meddles with me and gets away with it'





For my challenge at AJJ I have made some collages of the houses in our little town, which are mostly very ancient and with LOTS of geometric shapes in them:




And some 'normal' collages - I think we have every geometric shape there is!


And a few funnies / thinkies:


David Zinn:




David Zinn again, he's fabulous!


And a neighbour has now got a cow in his garden:


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

  10. It's so much fun to see all these faces. They're all new to me, but that would make sense since I didn't know you back in the 90's. I love all the texture in those pieces. And I would love that cow in my yard. It's such fun and cheery. I hope you have a wonderful Friday and start to your weekend. hugs-Erika

  12. Fabulous faces. Isn't it fun to look back on our older work and see how much we've changed? I smiled at your Latin motto then realised it's actually the motto of Scotland! Did you know? Hugs, Deb

  15. Ancient houses, in an ancient town - pictures taken by an ? lady. I will leave it to others to fill in the appropriate adjective. Having seen the image above where the fierce female says that no one messes with her and gets away with it, I am not bold enough to insert the word! Geometric shapes as a theme gives lots of scope doesn’t it? As I look around the room where I am now situated there is all manner of objects with rectilinearity and even a couple of spheres. David Zinn continues to amaze us with his creativity, whimsicality and charm. The world needs more David Zinns. Hugs and kisses - David
