Sunday This and That

Hi Everybody!

I've just been watching the sun rise up through the

morning mist, and it looks like it will be a

beautiful Sunday, so hope your day will

be good, too.

Yesterday I was awake very early, as always, and had time

for some crafting before I went for my morning walk.

This mixed media tag is meant for  Things with Wings, at

Tag Tuesday, and for Simon Monday Challenge, rainbow.

The background is part of a motherboard I made recently,

using the cardboard backing from a sketch pad, which was gessoed,

painted, sprayed and splashed - fun! I used some

three dimensional flower and insect stickers I

recently discovered in one of my many boxes, and put them

round a vintage image (LaBlanche). I added some lace and a

ribbon hanger, and fixed it all to the painted background.

This tag is for Sandie's Go Tag Thursday Challenge, where

the theme is stamps - either postage ones or rubber ones,

so I used both. The background image is from Gecko Galz

and has been mounted onto a piece of mirri-card. I added

a postage stamp, and then used some mail-art stamps. I sewed it 

onto a piece of peeled cardboard which was gessoed and then 

dipped in Utee EP.

These photos were taken on my walk to the Rhine

yesterday:

I love the fresh green of the pollard willows on the meadows:

I always enjoy walking through these tall trees:

The avenue of chestnut trees leads to the Ferry:

This tree at the 'Diakonie' is the loveliest one of all:

In the afternoon I met up with friends in the Altstadt (old town)

but more about that another time.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Tulips

Hi Everybody!

I'm happy that it's weekend, hope you are, too!

For Paint Party Friday, and More Mixed media, anything goes / 

optional yellow, I have an A3 mixed media piece made

this week at art group:

Spring continues to spring, and I enjoy the sunrise

day by day:

The crow is trying to hide in the tree:

I love seeing moss and plants growing on the 

castle walls:

And the tulips brought spring into my home:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot fo coming by!

Paint Party Friday and more

Hi Everybody!

We've had a couple of cooler days, but spring is still

there, and it's great to see fresh green every day.

Thanks to those who asked how my clinic treatment is

progressing. I am enjoying my time there, it is strenuous,

but it is doing me good.

For Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin, I have a

mixed media A3 piece. The background was gessoed, painted with

creme and bronze and textured with a brayer. The head was

collaged after being cut apart. The dream figures were painted using 

various stencils. The birds and butterfly were stamped. I added the 

quote and some washi tape. I am also linking to Hazel's 

Magical Mystery tour at Art Journal Journey.

And some more spring flowers and blossoms:

This lovely old garden house is in the grounds of

the clinic:

The lilac trees are blossoming too:

I love the plants poking out of the crack between the

wall and the paving stones:

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
