Rains Thursday Art Date and more!

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all managing well and staying safe and fit.

Rain's theme today is 'Easter'. I don't usually celebrate it, but do enjoy all the seasonal themes and celebrating spring and new life.

First up I have an A4 Easter Bunny which I made for my challenge at AJJ, geometric shapes. I stenciled the rabbit onto some spotted DP, which I then sewed to another piece of DP with a geometric pattern. I added the quote and gave him a stitched bow tie, also with a geometric pattern. The row of black gemstones were part of a candy I got recently. This was quick and easy to make:

And I have some spring /Easter pieces from previous times:

And I have lots of photos showing this wonderful season:

And I must include the animals I meet on my walks:

The shops are all full of Easter decorations:

And the very special Easter moon, taken Wednesday evening at 10 pm:

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

Hi Everybody!

Hope you, your families and friends are all well and fit. 

Take good care of yourselves, and stay safe!

Today I have another hybrid journal page to share at Art Journal Journey for  my theme of geometric shapes. The background was hand painted with acrylics. The orange circles were die cut from an old painting. I put it all together in Serif, and added some digital elements. The figure is from Mischief Circus:

Today I had a pleasant surprise - Nathalie went shopping and discovered toilet paper, and brought me a packet! Wow, I never thought I would scream with delight and dance around clutching a packet of toilet paper, and all thanks to 'Corinna', Nathalie and LIDL.... And toilet rolls are geometric shapes! Can it get better?!

The moon was beautiful yesterday evening:

The day started off with a beautiful sky:

I loved the shadows on the curtains:

And then I went for my walk! Early morning is a wonderful time to be out and about. A neighbour has a tree with 2 colours of blossoms on it:

The path through the fields was empty:

The lake was beautiful:

The hawk was sitting alone in a tree - a good example of social distancing:

But the pigeons were not so sensible:

Perhaps they were influenced by the birds on the house opposite:

Have a great day, take care, 

and thanks a lot for coming by!
