Friday faces and fun

Hi Everybody!

Today I am showing faces which I put onto tags in the past few years. I am linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFF.













This is a distant cousin of my Mother, Erika. I met her as an od lady when I was working in an old people's home here in Düssedorf:


And another visit to the past - my mum and her Uncle Benny with his wife at their wedding:


Sorry, not much talk-talk, my internet is very bad today so I want to get this posted before it get's worse!

Have a great Thursday / Friday, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

  4. I like the add-ons such as feathers. Unique. I also like the vintage clothing your ancestors wore. Sometimes, they look better than the contemporary clothing we often see in the U.S.

  8. So many interesting faces and tags today but I'm partial to the Beetles tag! I bought their first vinyl album and still have it today - in spite of no record player to enjoy it! LOL

  14. Valerie, I have a hard time finding a favorite here, they are all so beautiful. I just love your art and all the beautiful things you are making. The farmer is great and reminds me of Shaun the Sheep. I wish I just had a third of your art energy! Have a good rest of the week. Hugs - Carola

  17. The Beatles was a pretty clever name wasn’t it, and it could be argued that they got their start in Germany. Even at their best though, they were never quite as impressive as real beetles. They are able to fly (without the aid of psychotic drugs), are decked out in the most amazing range of colours you could imagine, and have been successful in every corner of the world, in every habitat and climatic condition, and all without destroying and polluting. Humans could learn from them, but of course in our normal arrogant way we never will. Sorry to hear that your internet service is being troublesome, Valerie, but maybe it will be resolved soon. In the meantime you may have a not entirely unwelcome respite from the screen. Hugs and kisses to both you and Heike - David.

  18. Yes, this is a typical David post! There are certainly many different beetles in the world, and there were only 4 Beatles! This week I saw green, metallic beetles, very handsome. Today was a strenuous day. And I am also fighting with my new smartphone, oh dear!. Hugs, Valerie.
    Have a great weekend!

  23. Wonderful tags, all, but I especially love the "Why do I have feet" one. Lovely and very interesting.

  24. Great idea with the Beatles (incidentally I love the face following the Beatles one - so pretty). I really like the way you have put that orange fringing on those faces and I love the photo of the wedding your mother attended. I love those hats they wore n those days but am not sure about the way they wore the veils. Must dig one out next time I am home with my mum on as a bridesmaid - I think they all had massive bouquets too.
    Hugs, Neet xx
