Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

This has been a busy week and I'm happy it's weekend. Yesterday I actually did some of the dreaded, but necessary housew**k, and even cleared my work table and side table. I can see the wood of the table again, always a nice surprise!

For Tag Tuesday, my 'down on the farm' challenge, I have a last tag, this time with flowers and plants. The new challenge starts next week, so you still have a couple of days to join in:

For Jo's texture challenge at AJJ I have another A3 mixed media journal page:

And some photos from my walks, and from a visit to Süd Park to visit the animals again, fitting to the down on the farm theme:

Heike and Doris, the lovely pigs:

There are always lots of crows there:

The meadows are a paradise for sheep, too:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

TGIF

Hi Everybody!

Another week has flown by and it's Friday already. Hope your week has been good!

I have another tag for my 'down on the farm' challenge at Tag Tuesday. This time a little spider has dropped in - Halloween is coming nearer!

Recently I bought 2 huge A3 journals, and much to my surprise, the first one is already three quarters full. And I decided it needed a nice cover, with lots of texture. The background was textured with blue, cream and rust. I added the reflex pearls onto the wet paint, and when it was dry I added a coat of matte gloss colourless to hold the pearls nice and tight. The sunflowers were stenciled with gold structure paste and the centres got a layer of metal flakes. The leaves were cut from a piece of painted, embpssed and textured paper, sewn through the middle and round the edges, and then fixed with double sided tape. I had fun working on it. I am linking to Jo's texture challenge at AJJ and to Paint Party Friday

This was what the journal was like before the make over:

My photos today are mostly of the sunrise scenes and beautiful skies and clouds this week:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
