T stands for Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Today is Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the

💛NICE ladies in the T Gang.💛

For Art Journal Journey, Susi's theme of 

Collage with a twist, I have a mixed media/hybrid piece. 

I used some torn pieces of a photo and a book page. I think we see things differently when we only have fragments:

At the ice parlour where I sometimes drink a coffee they have new

bags of sugar. As I never put sugar in my drinks, I bring them home. It's interesting to see all the varieties of coffee you can have:

Help yourselves to oat cookies before they are all gone:

 I enjoyed my visit to the 'art palace' yesterday:

I love the spaciousness of the interior, here the foyer:

This huge head was rather fascinating:

 And I'm pleased to say that the art museum I visited yesterday

also has a nice cafe:

Of course, I drank cappuccino:

The cats are on the stone benches in front of the museum,

and there are four of them all together:

I call this man Mr Happy, because he sits by the Rhine nearly every day,

plays beautiful music on his accordion, and is always smiling. I think he has a special gift to make people happy, and that is something good.

So, don't worry, be happy!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

This and that for Monday

Hi Everybody!

It's still very chilly here, but at least it stayed dry today.

One of the museums in town, the 'Kunstpalast' (Art Palace)

not only has a special exhibition at the moment but was 

doing a free Sunday, so guess who was waiting in front 

of the doors when they opened up this morning -

and it was worth it. I will share the photos bit by bit!

For Art Journal Journey, Susi's fun theme of collage with

a twist - no faces, no wings and no  leaves - I

have another hybrid piece, using some elements from Mischief Circus.

And here some random photos taken yesterday and today.

On top of the spire of the: Basilica:

A cruise ship:

The square by the Basilica:

The pigeons always like sitting on top of the hospital roof: 

This eye was watching me:

The horses were busy grazing:

This is the bronze eagle right up on the top of the roof of one 

of the corporate buildings by the Rhine:

 

And this Rhino is in front of the art museum:

The building in the background used to be a planetarium and is 

now a concert hall:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

wheels, cogs and cookies

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy! Today the sun came out after a

week of grey, rainy days, so that made me happy!

For Art Journal Journey, Susi's fun theme of collage with a twist, I was inspired by recent events to make a hybrid page, 

using a water coloured background. 

(Some of the digital elements are from Mischief Circus)

I am also linking to Moo Mania and More, wheels

The sky this morning was beautiful,  I love watching the

colours change, although it was rather chilly outside in my pyjamas!

The gulls are always waiting for treats:

Today I enjoyed watching the ships, this is a 'work' ship
which makes sure that the waterways are
clear of silt and sand:

And I baked some oat and syrup cookies - help yourselves! I think the photographer must have taken one already!

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
