Midweek Post

 Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well. I had a quiet day with time for walks and playing in my arty kitchen, so that was good!

One of my fave lessons at Lifebook up till now was the one with Laly Mille where we made twinchies:

We started out my making a collage and then painting over it with gesso and then acrylics. The last layer was texture, which I added with gold structure paste through a stencil:

The finished painting was then cut into strips, like these:

And then chopped into Twinchies:

I then did some stamping with some mini stamps and chose which ones I wanted to combine to a journal page:

And here it is:

The remaining twinchies will be used in other projects

And some seasonal photos taken here:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for This, That and The oTher

 Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing a mixed media piece  made using a tutorial from  Shilpa Lalit at Tam's Lifebook Taster seesions. I enjoyed making this, and loved the colours she chose. All went well till I spilled my water glass over it, and after that I did my best to mop it up and repair, but didn't have time to re-do it. I am also linking to Chris' 'hold the line' challenge at AJJ, as this is full of lines:

I started off by drawing the lines and colouring the background:

In spite of the mishap, it was a beautiful lesson and I enjoyed painting it.

Today we are also starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our lovely and talented Pinky is hosting with the theme 'trees'. This is my first tag, and I have put my painted fox from last Friday into it:

Today is also Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party  so here a warm welcome to all the nice ladies who visit. My neighbour brought me this delicious pastry because I had taken in a parcel for her:

My drink was cappuccino - what else?
