Happy Thanksgiving and more

Hi Everybody!

Happy Thanksgiving

to all friends in the USA!

Thanks to all who sent well wishes these past days.

I am still not feeling great, but things do seem to be improving, so

that's really good.

For Art Journal Journey - Susi's collage challenge, and Paint Party Friday

I have a mixed media/hybrid piece. The Matisse ladies are made with templates I cut years back, it was fiddly work but as I can use them again and again, it was worth it- I combined two hand painted backgrounds with a mask digitally, and then added my ladies, cut from DP which has flowers, but no leaves. And the ladies have no faces. The quote is from Matisse.

We have had more wonderful morning skies this week:

 And here some more photos from the modern section of the 

glass exhibition at the Kunstpalast (art palace museum)

And I still have more photos for next time!

Have a great day, take care

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Grunge and glass

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey, Susi's collage theme,

I have a mixed media/hybrid collage. I made my men very grungy after

 cutting them from a collaged and painted piece,

and added some extra blobs and splats.

The alphas are from Serif.

I snapped the  twinkling lights of the airport and the first light 

of the sun early this morning from my window:

The raven was waiting for me to dish up his breakfast:

And Here are a few more photos from the

wonderful glass museum:

An Art Nouveau Window:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Tuesday this and that.

Hi Everybody!

😊

There's a lot going on again on Tuesday.

We are starting a new challenge at TIOT,

and it's Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, 

so here a warm welcome to the nice ladies of the T Gang.

I am glad I always work well in advance, as the last few days

I wasn't able to do anything as I am still feeling bad.

At TIOT our new challenge is 'Layer it up'.

As always, you have 2 weeks to join us, and projects of all

formats are welcome, so hope to see you there.

I made a card, using an image from Gecko Galz, and I have 8 layers on the card.

I used crackle medium on the image, and the lovely floral brads were a present from Sabine, so thanks a lot!

For Art Journal Journey, Susi's collage challenge,  I have an A4 page. I stamped the Da Vinci image onto paper, and smudged the face 

with my finger while the ink was still wet - 

no faces etc allowed! 

I glued the paper onto a gelli print, 

and added it digitally to the grungy background, using a 

filter  to liven up the edges.

For T stands for Tuesday I want to show you some of the glass exhibits

from the museum  Kunstpalast that I visited last week. The small 

cup and saucer look so real, but they are in the glass.

I found this one unbelievably good.

These 2 are from the same artist:

I loved these modern glasses, too:

The whole museum is full of incredibly beautiful glass,

I will show more pics bit by bit. 

I loved the Art Nouveau pieces, too:

The stairs leading down to the antique glass section. This museum is

such a riot of colour and beauty, I will go back there

soon and enjoy it again:

Stormy weather

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey I have a hybrid piece. The background was painted, distressed and collaged. The 'graffiti' quote was stamped onto a gelli print and added together with the other images, and the chalked quote was added digitally:

I have stayed home over the weekend, but the sky and clouds

were worth taking photos of, and I much enjoyed watching the

ever changing heavens on Saturday evening:

And early Sunday morning:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
