Vintage

Hi Everybody!

We're enjoying a sunny Sunday here, so hope you are

having a good weekend, too.

At Go Tag Thursday the theme is vintage. I started by layering

various pieces of card-stock and a strip of lace and

then sewing them together with the machine. The floral 

patterned card was cut with a Martha Stewart punch.

I used a Tim Holtz bronze frame with a photo of my dear

Erika as a little girl. She always loved all things pink, pretty and 

with lace, and would have loved this tag made in her honour.

I added some fabric leaves and flowers together with a little

bundle of art grass tied with some fibres. The sentiment

was one of the lovely pieces that dear Gill sent me.

Before the embellishments were added:

Beautiful spring:

The farmers are busy on the fields:

The pigeons wait in the tree till they can't see me and then swoop

down to cause havoc on my balcony:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

2nd on the 2nd on the 1st

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good, peaceful and productive

month of April. I hope spring soon comes to

those who are still having issues with 

winter weather.

Elizabeth has a link up on the 2nd of each month where

we show things that we have already shown before. As she is

also concerned with the Earth this month, I am showing

a couple of recycled boxes made 2 years back from small, round

cheese boxes, as I always have problems throwing

them away. I used either natural materials for

decorating them, or embellishments which had

been rescued from old projects:

And just for fun, some 'recycled' photos, taken on April 1st last year:

 The lovely tree has also been cut down:

 Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Almost Friday already

Hi Everybody!

Another week has flown by and it's almost weekend,

and time for Paint Party Friday.
I'm also linking to Art Journal Journey, Yvonne's lovely theme
of out and about.

I'm sharing another piece made this week at

art group. Our theme was 'Glück' - happiness.

I made an A3 mixed media collage, inspired by the

view from my window, which always makes me happy. 

The BG was gessoedand painted, as was the sun. 

I added more colours with

pastel chalks. Picasso's woman and the world were

collaged.

And some photos of this warm and spring-like week:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lo for coming by!
