Light and dark, grunge and elegance

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy!

For Paint Party Friday and Art Journal Journey, elegance and grunge.

I have an A3 mixed media piece, using an image cut from

a magazine. I used a quote from Harry Potter and the Order

of the Phoenix,  'We've all got both light and dark inside us. What

matters is the part we chose to act on. That's who we

really are.'

And I have some more pictures from the Japanese

Culture Centre and Eko House:

 In the beautiful Buddhist Temple:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Wednesday Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing an A3 mixed media piece, once again using 

my head. I am linking to Art Journal Journey, Gill's lovely challenge 'elegance and grunge'. I am also linking to Simon Monday challenge, it's

a frame up, as my head is framing the content here, and to
Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin

Yesterday the day started off with a lovely sunrise:

In the afternoon we visited the Eko House, the Japanese

culture centre, garden and Temple in Düsseldorf - 

a very beautiful place

More photos to follow another day!

And the moon in the evening was fantastic, too:

Have a great day, take care, 

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for This and ThaT on Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

This Tuesday sees the start of a new challenge at

Try it on Tuesday 

- Little things mean a lot-

Projects of all formats are allowed, but must not be

larger than 4"x 4". They do not have to be square.

As always, you have 2 weeks to join in the fun and link to us.

I made a tiny, mixed media canvas:

For Go Tag Thursday, mechanical, I have a mixed media  clockwork

butterfly tag.  The background was made with crumpled tissue

over cardboard, which was painted and then embossed with gilding wax.

The butterfly was printed and cut out twice to give more body.

And please don't forget - you still have  a week to join Chrissie's 'faces'

challenge at Tag Tuesday.

Lat week I went to the little museum here in Kaiserswerth.

There is a wonderful model of the town as it was at the beginning

of the 18th century, before the castle and much of the town was

destroyed:

The castle must have been very magnificent:

The museum is beautifully housed in the rooms of the old school:

I will show more photos next time.

Today is also  Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday,

so here I would like to welcome all the nice ladies of

the T Gang. I'm drinking cappuccino, as always,

and that's cherry / cream cake....Help yourselves!

And to finish, the beautiful moon:

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
