New Challenge at TIOT - Halloween

 Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT -

🎃🎃 Halloween 🎃🎃

Projects of all formats are welcome, and as always you have 2 weeks to link to us. Pop by our blog and see what my teamies have made!

I made an A3 mixed media page. I used a textured and painted background which I collaged with various Halloween motifs: 








Late afternoon at the Rhine is always beautiful:



It rained and we had real puddles so I could wear my wellies again:





The fire boat:


Veggies at the market:






I saw this at the tram stop. It says 'wandering building site'. There was no building site in sight, so it looked like it had wandered to the tram stop alone:


The following pics were sent to me by my neighbour Wolfgang. They were on vacation in a wine-growing region:




You can see the vineyards in the background:




An elegant bird house:


Strange wild life from the region:




I asked Wolfgang if I could show his pics on my blog, and he said he is happy that you all get to see them!

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

T sTands for loTs of This and That

Hi Everyone!

Here's wishing us all a good and safe week in these hard times. I spent a lot of time at the weekend making things for the Lifebook taster course. in this lesson from Effy Wild, where we created a little art book. I didn't have art cards in this size - 4 x 4" - so used coasters. The front of each page is a little collage, and this one is with my fave drink - coffee - what else?



I pasted designer paper on the back of each page with a sentiment:



This was my fave collage:





This was a fun course, and I will make more pages for my book as it's a good way to use up some of those odds and ends of scraps which seem to multiply each night in their box.

One of Sunday's lessons was to paint a happy cat with Cinnamon Cooney, also known as the Art Sherpa. I used an 8" x 8" square canvas. I am linking to Chris's 'Hold the line' challenge at AJJ, here the fly is holding the line:







And as this evening is also the begin of Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, I have some coffee flavoured photos for you:


I drank my coffee here again last week:




The geese and swan are pics from my best neighbour, Wolfgang, who takes me shopping with him once a week to pick up the groceries. There are a lots of delightful photos from him, and I will show you them in the course of the week:



My walks were, as always, round about our little town:













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