Tag Tuesday and T stands for Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

We were delighted to see so many people joining
in last week at Tag Tuesday,, and Karen from Lunagirl
has chosen the winner of the image sheet,
but you will need to go to the TT blog to learn more....
On Tuesday we are starting our new challenge there
hosted by our lovely Wendy, who chose the theme:

🐦Birds and Nests🐦

As usual, you have 2 weeks to link your tag, and tags of all
formats are welcome.

I made a 10"mixed media tag, using a paper napkin
over partly peeled corrugated card:


It started like this:


Then I sewed the tag to a coordinating backing:


The nest was made from some Xmas band twisted
together and with added twigs. The eggs are art stones.
I glued it all with silicone glue:


I painted them with water-colours and glazed them:


I added more twigs:



The ticket and sentiment are stamps from Tim Holtz:



Today is Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so a big 
welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang.
No cake again, sorry, I'm just knocked out,
but I made a coffee tag using a napkin and some
coffee dyed lace, all sewed together again:




Spring is springing everywhere:









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

Sunday

Hi Everybody!

This mixed media A4 piece was made last week using a 
paper napkin on a painted and textured background. The dots were
sponged on using a stencil with red, orange and black paint.
The quote is from Nelson Mandela. I am linking to
Art Journal Journey,
Yvonne's theme of out and about.




These were taken on my way to the clinic last week:




This little chappie was sitting on a nest box and singing
as loud as he could:


 Trees are blossoming:


Saturday was cold and wet, but the gulls don't mind:






  I always love watching the day grow light:






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

Weekend post

Hi Everybody!

This has been a good week, but a very strenuous one,
and I am looking forward to a restful weekend.

For Paint Party Friday and Art Journal Journey, Yvonne's lovely theme 
of out and about, I have a mixed media A3 page. The background was 
painted and textured with a patterned brayer, and the image 
was cut from a magazine called Geo. 
I added some painted strips and
feathers to her headdress, and more painted strips for the quote. I used
a stencil to paint the dots with a sponge.






At Go tag Thursday the theme is to use a quote or
verse. I made a mixed media tag, using an image from Gecko Galz, 
and some natural materials as embellishments. I am also linking to
Tag Tuesday, hats and headgear:






The photos were all taken 'down by the riverside'
in the past days:











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