T stands for hoT TemperaTures and more

Hi Everybody!

We are still 'enjoying' very hot and humid weather here, and this week we should break the all-time record for June with the temps climbing to over 40° thanks to hot air from the Sahara which is being blown over to us. Not my thing at all, I just wish I had somewhere cool to hide till it's over.

Tuesday is always time for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday gathering, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang. I am sharing an A3 Mixed Media piece made back in February and forgotten about till I cleared away a pile of stuff that was cluttering a chair. I used lots of scraps of linen, burlap, painted tyvek, corrugated card and serviettes, collaged and sewed onto craft paper:

I will also be linking to Paint Party Friday.

And there was a lot of coffee drinking and ice eating again, but I always did my required steps before eating my ice:

Lemon-basil ice this time, also very yummy!

And a few photos from my walks this week. At the moment I am not sleeping well because of the heat, so go out for my first walk early in the morning and then again in the late evening when it is not quite so hot:

Have a great week, take care

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Too hot to handle

Hi Everybody!

Hope all is well with you and yours. It's still very hot and humid here, the thermometer in my apartment is telling me that it's 34° inside and that's not a temperature conducive to working or even sleeping. It looks like we will have a storm later, so hope it cools off a bit. If I had wings, I would fly off somewhere else just now....

I have a second tag for Sandie's challenge at Tag Tuesday  -  wings. I made a hybrid tag combining various photos of sunrise and birds, taken from my balcony or on my walks and superimposed with some text and music notes:

And I am sharing another Van Gogh knock off, made in my A3 journal and painted with acrylics. I find his style of panting inspiring and relaxing:

This is van Gogh's 'boots' painting:

 This is my version, showing my fave boots:

Blue skies and fluffy clouds:

The Church decorated for a festival:

And a flea market along the market in our little town:

These photos were taken by Harry in the Altstadt of Düsseldorf:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
