Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy!

Today I am sharing an A4 mixed media piece made with corrugated card  from a parcel I got recently. I peeled part of the card to show the structure and gave it a coat of gesso, before collaging with napkin scraps and pieces from a vintage book and old letters.  And I used some stickles to make it sparkle. Both pieces were sewed together with zigzag stitch and I used a scrap of burlap as a sort of bow. Some fibres and feathers were bound together with a blue ribbon as an embellishment. I am linking to Erika's 'when it's hot' challenge at AJJ, as this shows a summery scene, and to Paperbabe stamps, summertime:

When I take the tram into town , I always walk a part of  the way in each direction. On the way there I walk the last part through the beautiful old cemetery that I like so much, and on the way back I take a path which leads past a meadow full of beautiful horses:

This one was on a roll and having fun kicking up the dust:

And some morning walk pics - the harvest is almost finished:

The heron was walking through the fields looking for breakfast:

I'll be back with my next post on Monday.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Paint Party Friday

Hi Everybody!

TGIF - always my fave day!

Today I have an A3 mixed media piece with cool colours and lots of splodges. I like to keep occupied in my arty (and rather chaotic) kitchen when it's hot outside, and I am linking to Erika's 'when it's hot' challenge at AJJ.

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday

I used acrylic paints, scraps of paper napkins, die cuts and a home-made stencil for the dancing lady:

Some photos of the stones on the shore by the castle ruins. People often  play and make them into cairns, which I like very much. And then others come and kick it all down....sad! You can see that a lot of the stones were part of columns or walls:

Some of the trees are turning yellow, we have not had enough rain:

I always enjoy visiting the horses on the meadow:

And some rusty bits for Elizabeth:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Rain's Thursday Art Date

Hi Everybody!

Rain's theme this week is 'a face on an object'.

First I am  showing some 'fun' pictures made some 10 years back:

And I never did like tea....

This is more to my taste:

These Photos were taken last year, where I photographed myself reflected in various things in town - here in shop windows, so I seem to be part of the object:

I'm the one wearing clothes:

Here I took photos in one of the mirrored sort-of-pyramids in front of the Daniel Liebeskind building here:

And I put together a few pics in my graphics programme yesterday:

That's all for today!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
