T sTands for sTeampunk and more

Hi Everybody!

Tuesday is always a busy day, so I'd better get

started without more ado.

At TIOT we are starting a new challenge

😎Steampunk😎

As always, you have 2 weeks to join us, and projects of

all formats are welcome. Looking forward to seeing you there!

I made a mixed media /hybrid piece. The original was painted,

collaged, stamped and stenciled. Then I added some digital elements

from Mischief Circus and me. This is the hybrid version. I am
also linking to Art Journal Journey, Rosie's lovely theme of circles:

And this is the basic version:

At Tag Tuesday you still have a week to link up your animal

creations. Michele has made another post to

inspire you there. I recreated a piece I made

some years ago from the photos I had. The BG was stamped with 

Paper Artsy stamps, the leopard and clock are from

LaBlanche.  The chandelier is a rub-on from a pack of Xmas

embellishments.

Once again I sewed all the layers together.

I am also linking to creative artiste, anything goes

Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday Party.

This is the little market by the Rhine which opens

every Wednesday:

And this is a coffee-bike - wonderful invention!

And the coffee is made cup for cup with an espresso

machine and tastes

wonderful:

As you can imagine, this is a place I enjoy stopping at!

And at home there's always cappuccino and this week

I can offer you some lemon cake:

It is a pleasure to see all the flowers blooming just now:

This is the view from the end of our road towards the tram stop:

Lots of people plant flowers in the earth around the trees

along the road:

And I had to admire this wonderful balcony:

!

Have a great day, take care,

and thank a lot for coming by

Flowers and birds

Hi Everybody!

It's time for a new challenge at

More Mixed Media.

As always, it's an anything goes theme,

with optional purple.

Our challenges always run from the 5th of the month,

and projects of all formats are very welcome, so hope

to see you there!

I made 

an  9 1/2 x 11 1/2" mixed media piece. 

The paper was gessoed, and the central image is a paper napkin. 

I stenciled the birds, numbers and alphas with black Archival, 

and the dots with blue distress ink. 

The sentiment is from Dylusions.  As backing I used 

cardstock in blue and purple, and sewed round 

it twice to make it stable enough for a future

journal cover.

I am also linking to creative artiste Challenge, anything goes and

we love to create, also anything goes.
I am also linking to Create with TLC, anything goes,
as Desire asked me so nicely to join in!

This hybrid piece, made with elements from Mischief Circus and me,

is meant for Rosie's 'Circles' challenge at

Art Journal Journey:

More visitors to my balcony:

Flowers on the Rhine meadows:

  Horses on the fields opposite the supermarket:

Flowers by the Basilica:

And last but not least, some of the flowers on my balcony:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Saturday is tag day

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy!

For Tag Tuesday, Michele's lovely theme of 'animals',

I made a mixed media tag using some tiny animal

stencils, using vintage photo DI. I made a many layered 

background, sewed it all together

and added some fibres. You still have more than 

a week to join in!

For Go Tag Thursday, roadtrip/holiday

I made a digital tag. I wonder where these

strange people are going with the bike? She looks

quite happy, but the gentleman looks rather

bad tempered. Her bike looks rather modern, too -

perhaps she's time travelling....

I am also linking to Digitally made Challenges

Images used are from Mischief circus

Yesterday was market day, so I walked along the Rhine and 

then to the market. I stopped for a cappuccino

at my fave ice parlour before walking round

the market:

Love this old house and the lovely flower-boxes:

Plants growing on the wall:

On my way home I was smiled at by lot of flowers:

We had some stormy rain-showers this week which

left some of my feathered friends looking

very bedraggled and badly in need of food:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
