Friday mix

Hi Everybody!

It's Friday already, so the weekend is almost here!

For Art Journal Journey, collage, and for Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin,  I made a mixed media A3 collage. I made a torn paper background, which I painted with gesso. I added some more prospect cut outs, and lots of bits and bobs from my various boxes. I wrote some journaling at several places. I added some colour at some places as the white looked too, well, too white.

This is a hybrid collage , also meant for Art Journal Journey and 99 Faces.

The background was painted with acrylics, stamped and embossed. I added my drawn face digitally. The quote is from Buddha.

And here some photos from my corner of the world:

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Blue

Hi Everybody!

Another day has sped by, and I do not have much

to show for it.

For Art Journal Journey and 99 faces I have another A3 mixed media page, once again in blue. Recently I squeezed much too much paint out of the tube, and used the surplus to make several backgrounds, which accounts for my blue phase. I spritzed the page with some inks in blue, brown and white, sprayed water over it and watched it move, and I find the effects quite interesting. I drew  the face using a home made face template, and used water colours to add colour to her lips, eyes etc. I collaged some strips of old letters, a feather, some fibres and a couple of stars. The quote is from Dylusions and has also been collaged.

Some more photos of the wonderful sunset at the Rhine:

And the sunrise the day after:

Today was just wet, wet, wet all day, so didn't take any new photos.

Have a great day you all, take care, 

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Christmas at Moo Mania and More

Hi Everybody!

A quick post today - did this, did that, and the day was gone!

Today we are beginning a new challenge at

Moo Mania and More -

Christmas.

As always, projects of all formats are allowed, and you have 2 weeks to join in - hope to see you there!

I am also linking to Art Journal Journey, collage

I made 2 pieces. The first one is a hybrid piece and has a painted and crackled background 

The gingerbread pair have been placed on an airmail envelope:

The stamp shows the mince-pies I made last year:

And I made a hybrid face using photos and eyes from one of my painted faces for 99 faces and Art Journal Journey, collage. If I counted right this is face 33. The fish is from Itkupilli.

Yesterday afternoon I had an appointment at the dentists's and walked home along the Rhine enjoying the wonderful sunset:

Destiny chugging towards the sunset:

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
