Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy!

Here it's been cold, wet and windy with some sunny intervals, so we have at last had some rain. The trees and earth will be happy, and everybody with gardens, too. I still managed to get out for 3 walks, and was lucky to stay more or less dry.

I had a wonderful cheese soup for my lunch - cooked by Nathalie - she brought it to me yesterday, so it was good to have a delicious meal that I didn't need to prepare. And I was so hungry I forgot to take a photo, sorry!

For my 'anything goes' challenge at Tag Tuesday I have my last tag to share. I made it using the same system as the previous tag and it is more or less a mirrored version of the other one with flowers:

Here they are both together:

And once again I used the tag to make a hybrid journal page. The butterfly and blue flower were both hand painted and digitally added:

And I have more photos from the houses and gardens surrounding  Burg (castle) Linn:

Another coot sitting on its nest:

Another heron - this time without a swan:

Ducks:

And even a home for bats:

The street signs were all in the old German fraktur script:

Hope you enjoyed your walk with me!

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

2nd on the 2nd and more

Hi Everybody.

Here's wishing us all a good month of May, and hoping that 'Corrina' will start to leave us. It will take time, I know, but we need to hope. Soon!

On the 2nd of the month we show pieces we have already previously blogged and link them to Eizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd challenge. I know it's still the first, but I'm starting early!

I have dug up some pieces from the past, some of which I can't make any more as I can't use my fingers as I could back then. But I'm still hoping things will get better, and do my exercises regularly.

The rabbits are such lovely stamps:

I made this little bag from leather-printed paper for Chrissie, many moons ago:

And the Easter bonnet still hangs on m wall:

This is a huge canvas, it would have fitted nicely to my geometric theme:

I love these sweet birds:

And I love cows and doodling:

And last but not least, a triangular canvas with the Egyptian cat goddess, Bastet:

And I have something new.

The A3 page was made by mopping up water colours, to which I added some colours with gelatos. Banksy's little girl is sending some love into the world, and the flowers were added with a napkin that someone sent to me. The quote is wonky, as always, but still lovely:

and to Paint Party Friday

And some more photos from Castle Linn:

That's all for today!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
