Weekend this and that

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey, Susi's challenge of collage with a twist,
I have another hybrid piece, using 'my' men, and some digi elements from Mischief circus. This time I stuck to a vintage, monochrome look. I am also linking to Paint Party Friday.




I think I showed this piece before, I discovered it lurking in between the clean sheets in the closet. I have no idea why I put it there....






Here are some of the stained glass pieces from the glass museum.
These are from the early 16th century:


This is a  modern one:


These are from the 17th century:





And some more modern work from the 20th century:






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

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!
