Laughter is the sun....

Hi Everybody!

Today I have an A3 Mixed media page for Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland. The central part was made digitally using a photo as background and a quote from Hugo. Once again I have used the lovely photos from Erika which fits so well to this theme. I mounted it onto an A3 page painted with gesso. - I went round the edges with TH Rock-candy crackle, but it did not crackle -  it'sdisappointing when expensive brands don't
 function as they should. I added some colour with distress ink and some frosty embellishments.






Today is Tuesday, so that means its time for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here's a big hello to all the T Gang.

I sometimes drink a coffee at The Burghof restaurant next to the castle ruins, a lovely place to be:



And in case you are hungry, perhaps I can tempt you with a slice of apple pie, made with lots of butter, brown sugar and cinnamon:





And perhaps a cup of cappuccino to go with it?


I always have fun playing with my shadow when the sun shines:



The blue skies look good in the shop windows:


The gulls are always out in force just now:




Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

More Frost

Hi Everybody!
Hope your weekend has been enjoyable.

For Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland, I have another hybrid piece. The background is one of my frosty leaves photos. The little girl is a Banksy stencil from Stencilry, the bird one of my photos, and the quote from Robert Frost.




I love watching the world wake up each morning. In the summer I sit outside with my coffee, these days I prefer to stay inside:


The 'suns' are the lights from the airport:





The gulls were all standing like soldiers in a row:



There were, as always, lots of ships passing up and down the Rhine:


The majority are really huge:




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

Frost

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend is going well.

For Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland, I have another hybrid page, using a photo as background combined with an image from Gecko Galz and  snow flake frame. The quote is from Robert Frost.




Today was cold and frosty with blue skies and blue water:









Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

More birds

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - have a good one!

For Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland, I made a hybrid photo collage using a photo from my lovely blogger friend, Carolyn, who takes wonderful photos, and makes fabulous artwork and digital work. The background of my hybrid piece was painted with acrylics. I always love watching the wild geese, and was very happy when dear Carolyn sent me the photo! Thanks for the permission to use it.




And this hybrid collage was made just for fun, I needed a break from winter!



Today was another very mixed day with blue skies, grey clouds and lots of wind.

I love these old trailers:


The heron put himself in scene again today:




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