Mid Week Mix

Hi Everybody!

Our challenge at Art Journal Journey, hosted  by Chris, is coming to an end, and on Friday we will be starting a new one - don't forget to come back to learn what it's all about and who will be our new hostess.

This is my last piece for 'If you go down to the woods'. I used a mixed media piece made some time back, and digitally altered it and added the sentiment.




This is the original mixed media piece:


And for 99 faces (number 95) I have another doodled heart/face.





Yesterday was very stormy, but towards evening the wind 
got less, and I enjoyed seeing the clouds reflecting the sunset:








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

Tuesday Mixed Bag

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting   new challenge at TIOT 
-quotes-
so we need to see some words of wisdom on your projects. Projects of all formats are allowed, and you have 2 weeks to link your creations to us - hope to see lots of you at there!

I made a hybrid piece, using photos of the Basilica, Erika and a bird in a tree. I have given it bright colours - not my usual choice - to underline my message.




For 99 faces I have another doodle face, and I have started doodling again, so there will be more to come.  This is number 94 - 5 more to go.





And as it's Tuesday it's also time for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so a big welcome to all the T Gang. I did not manage to get round to everybody in the Gang last week, as I was just exhausted after the Rehab/Boot camp, but as I am now free again, I will get to you all this week.
Today I am sharing some Flapjacks - these are English cookies, made with golden syrup, brown sugar, oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruit - whatever you have to hand. No, no calories. They are sticky and delicious!


And my drink is, as always, cappuccino.


And some photos taken on sunny Saturday:





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

Deep in the magic woods

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are enjoying your Easter weekend!
After the lovely, sunny day yesterday we had a wild,  wet and  windy day, but the sun did show itself for a few minutes and I managed a short walk through the fields.

For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods, I have another hybrid page showing the woods from their magical side again.....




For 99 faces  (number 93) I have another of my doodle faces, this time a Buddha variation:






The catkins were blowing merrily in the wind today:



The castle ruins are once again open, so yesterday I enjoyed walking through them again:







The blackbird is one of the residents there:




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

Happy Easter

Hi Everybody!

I am still enjoying my lazy few days here, and today I was very happy to see that the sun had come out. It was great to watch the sun dispelling the morning mist and frost and inviting us to a day of blue skies.

For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods, Mama Bear is back again.
She has been hiding eggs for Easter, and then she sees that the chicks and rabbits have already found them all!




 This is another of my hospital doodles. I have another 2, but perhaps I will
make some more, as they were so relaxing to make, and I still have lots of empty pages in the journal. I am linking to 99 faces (Number 92).





I was happy to get out for a walk again. The skies and the Rhine were blue, and it was even possible to sit on a bench by the river and not turn into an ice cube.

I was even able to sit in the square and enjoy a cup of coffee.








Have a great weekend, Happy Easter to all who celebrate it,
take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
