Light and shadow

Hi Everybody!

This morning the sun showed it itself for a few minutes -

what a lovely feeling after days of grey in grey!

I used the few moments to make my photo for today's

hybrid collage. The background was painted

with acrylics, 'ART' is from Mischief Circus:

The photos were taken on this day last year:

A ship with my initials:

We are expecting some real sunshine this weekend, so I'm

hoping to be able to get out a bit and enjoy it!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Blue Friday

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing a mixed media canvas. The background

was covered with scraps of Hebrew text and then

given a coat of blue paint. I added some bits of rusty

metal picked up by the Rhine. Then I added some

golden stars and Hebrew alphas in gold. The

piece in the centre is a model of an old synagoge

in Milan. I am linking to Paint Party Friday,

hosted by Eva and Kristin, and to Simon Monday

Challenge, winter blues

I have enjoyed watching the buds open on my new

orchid plant:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Winter blues

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well!

Today I have an A3 mixed media piece to share. 

It was started back in 2010 and finally finished 

last week. The BG was painted 

with blue and green acrylics with a touch of gold

and purple. I discovered some shadowy figures

 there and outlined them with white. 

The figures with hats were drawn using

Mr Umbrella Man minus his brolly as a stencil.

I added 2 gravestones with Hebrew alphas which show the

abbreviation for 'here lies'. I was reading a spooky story

which perhaps explains the strange thoughts on the page!

I added some Hebrew alpha stickers and some 

small birds as embellishments.

I am linking to Simon Monday Challenge,

winter blues, and to That's crafty,
feeling blue

For Wilma's challenge at Tag Tuesday, new beginnings,

I have another hybrid tag, using a hand-painted

BG and a face I collaged from a magazine;

The Rhine has stopped rising. Now we just need to wait for the 

water to subside. Here are the rest of Sunday's photos:

I'm hoping for less rain in the coming weeks!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
