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
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!

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!
