Out and About

Hi Everybody!

I'm very happy that it's weekend, as I am really exhausted

after all of the therapies this week, and a bit of rest

will do me good.

For Yvonne's challenge 'Out and About' at

Art Journal Journey I have a hybrid page made by cutting

and combining 2 of my van Gogh paintings, with a photo of a horse 

and a bird added:

The tag was made some weeks back, and as it has now reached its 

destination in Canada I can show it. I used various bits and bobs, 

combined with da Vinci's Leda stamped and painted onto

a coffee pod paper. I sewed the tag onto cardboard and then onto 

some brown burlap sent to me some time back by dear

Chrissie:

Nature is springing even if the weather isn't

playing the game:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Mid-week this and that

Hi Everybody!

Today is cold, wet, wild and windy, and so I arrived back home

wet and tired, and plan on having an easy

afternoon with my feet up.

For Art Journal Journey, Yvonne's wonderful 'out and about' challenge,

 I have a hybrid piece using my fave bears again (Serif). The background is a photo of the plastic lid I use as my palette. Family bear are

having a picnic for Dad's birthday, and he forgot to bring goodies for the kids

and has already emptied nearly all the bottles. Mother Bear

is not amused

For Paint Party Friday I have a double mixed media spread

in my 2nd 'new' journal, using a painted background, paper napkins

and stenciling. The quote is from Dylusions. I am also linking to Simon
Monday Challenge, make your own background:

We had some incredible skies again this week:

I discovered this strange, rusty fire hydrant on my walks,

I think it will be good for a steampunk piece sooner

or later:

Have a good week you all,

take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by

Tuesday post

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at

Tag Tuesday -

Hats and headgear.

Michele has a surprise for you this week, so be sure to look!

I made a mixed media tag, with a partly 

peeled cardboard base which was painted and collaged.

You have two weeks to join us there, and conventional hats

are also very welcome, I just couldn't

resist these birdies:

Today is also T stands for Tuesday at Elizabeth's blog,

so a hearty welcome to all of the nice

ladies of the T Gang. The ice parlour has opened it's doors

again and the cappuccino tastes as good as I remembered:

I baked a chocolate chip cake, the photo was taken

before I added the frosting - help yourselves:

My Sunday walk was sunny:

Have a great day you all, take care

and thanks a lot for coming by!
