Friday this and that

Hi Everybody!

It's nearly weekend!

For Paint Party Friday and Tag Tuesday, texture, I made a tag

using a hand-painted background, painted in

turquoise, green and blue Maya Gold paints.

I stamped the image in Archival black and embossed it 

with Ranger holographic EP. I matted it with 2 different 

backgrounds which I sewed together before adding the

embellishments. I love the colours and texture created

by the EP. I am also linking to Simon Monday challenge,
touchy-feely.

This is the wonderful throw and splash wall in the room where I

have my art group - I find it very inspiring:

 The space under the roof in the big barn at the farm/zoo is crammed

with interesting old things:

 A stream runs through the grounds which then flows into the

River Erft:

Some more of the inhabitants:

Just LOVE this one:

And this handsome one really knew it!:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Rocking horses and more

Hi Everybody!

For Wendy's texture challenge at Tag Tuesday I made this 10" tag. The 

substrate was cut from packing materials and painted with Maya Gold

metallic paint in turquoise. The large flowers and dots were stenciled

with  structure paste in purple, which I then bubbled with

the heat gun to give more texture. The centres were made with

small 3D balls (Pentart) pressed onto silicone glue and painted with

turquoise. I added a few glass dew-drops, the acetate butterflies

 and the sentiment, which very much

expresses my feelings....I sewed it to a piece of recycled 

corrugated card. I am also linking to

Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin,
Simon Monday Challenge, touchy feely

and Go Tag Thursday, anything goes.

For Art Journal journey, Rosie's circle theme, I made an 7 x 5"

journal page, using a quote written

 with my new quill pen and hand made ink, see here.

The background was stamped - the 'sun' is from Hein Design, the ducks from Lavinia and the plants from LaBlanche. Once again I sewed all

 the layers together.

The farm/museum I visited recently also has a wonderful

collection of toys, including lot of rocking horses, which I am

sure will please Elizabeth!

I still have more toys to show in another post!

Have a great day , take care

and thanks a lot for coming by!
