Paint Party Friday

Hi Everybody!

Another week has sped by, tomorrow is Friday already, and time for Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin. I carved some more stamps at group this week, and this is the first impression of my semi-abstract nudes. I still need to clean away a bit at some of the edges, but on the whole I am satisfied with them. The figures are 6" high:





For this piece I used a painting of a vase of flowers made many years back, added a quote, and gave it a digital frame (Serif):




And these are the photos I photographed on my way to the group, which is in an old house in wonderful gardens:












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

T stands for....

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new theme at TIOT -
Destinations.
Projects of all formats are welcome, and you have two weeks to link to us, so hope to see you there!
I made a hybrid piece using elements from me and Serif, and a map of England, a free download from Orange Smile. I grew up in London, and was born round the corner from London Bridge and the Tower of London, so this is one of my fave destinations. I have added in some photos of my mum as a girl, of me at about the same age and my great grandma Rachel looking out of the window:




You still have a week to enter our challenge 'baby love' at 
Tag Tuesday - hope to see you there, too. I made a digital tag using elements from Serif:




Today is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang. Help yourself to a freshly baked waffle with apple, ginger and cinnamon compote: 


 Cappuccino at the Rhine:


We had dark clouds and a lot of rain on Sunday:




Some scenes from around town:




Sunrise:





And my hungry visitors:












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

Mother's Day

Hi Everybody!

On Sunday it's Mother's Day,  so I'd like to wish a happy one to all mums out there. I am re-showing a piece made last year showing my mum as a little girl:





At Tag Tuesday our theme is 'Baby love', and the theme covers everything about mothers and babies, whether animal or human. I made a hybrid tag showing some of the delightful young birds that can be seen everywhere just now:



Ans some photos of my walks taken in the past couple of weeks:









Last week we walked past this field with old farming implements, and you can see the maypole is still there:


 And  I always love to see the horses:






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