T stands for New Challenges

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are beginning new challenges at
Tag Tuesday and at More Mixed Media.

At Tag Tuesday our lovely Wendy is our host, and has chosen
Paris as her theme, and I know that is a theme that we
all like. For my tag I stamped a tag using a French script stamp
and some flourishes -both from LaBlanche. The Arc de Triomphe
(Artemio)was stamped with Stazon  onto acetate.
The rose is a decal. I sewed it
all together. I am also linking to Simon Monday Challenge,
Stamptember. :

At More Mixed Media Challenge our theme is anything goes

with optional brown. I like brown when it's used in vintage work,

so used a family piece I recently put together, printed it

onto a T-shirt film and ironed it onto canvas. The canvas was then sewn 

onto recycled cardboard from an Amazon envelope

and sewn together with some wild stitching. I coloured the edges

 of the cardboard with some distress oxides and added some crackle

varnish from Deco Art. I sewed some hemp ribbon to it and

added some embellies which I fixed with a TH safety pin. 

I am also linking to Art Journal Journey, Yvonne's lovely

theme of 'colour in m world'

This will be going into my family scrapbook:

And today is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a hearty 

welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang. Last week I baked

a chocolate cake with lots of chocolate chunks in it and chocolate

fondant icing. Sorry, forgot to slice it, so just cut off what you 

want and enjoy:

My drink is cappuccino as always, here taken at my

fave ice parlour:

                                       My postcards last week went to 

Linda Kunsman and Chris Bedford.

I have  printed some new cards from some of my artwork,

and this card is up for grabs this week, so please leave a comment

if you would like to have it. There are 2 waiting to fly out,

complete with stamps, so don't be shy.

And last but not least, here are some photos of my Sunday walk
along the Rhine and through our little town:

One of my fave corners:

The 'Schiffchen' (little ship) restaurant:

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Lots of colour

Hi Everybody!

For Yvonne's 'colour in my world' theme at Art Journal Journey
I have an A5 mixed media piece. The image is a 1930's
b/w postcard from Georg Kolbe, coloured with oil pastels
and sewn onto various backgrounds. I am not a fan of these
'heroic' statues he made, but think the colours change them enough
to make them palatable for me:

For Tag Tuesday, Michele's theme of 'Back to school' I have one more

tag, using a Gecko Galz image coloured with brush pens. I am

also linking to Simon Monday challenge, school or study

related:

And last not least some photos taken in the woods at Hösel, at

a farm we visited to buy eggs and in Kettwig:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
