Midweek Post

Hi Everybody! 

Life seems to be getting curiouser and curiouser. The Covid numbers are rising, and we are getting new instructions and rules on a daily basis, which is good, but sometimes confusing, as the rules are varied from district to district.  More people are really wearing their masks,  and once again toilet paper is a valued commodity which people want to hoard - a bad sign! And we are all suffering because of the strikes which are being carried on . Yesterday and today we had no trams, trains or buses, some hospitals and many kindergartens have been closed. I am not against strikes, but this is not the time for it. And we still have no heating here....

I have made a lot of journal spreads in my new 'junk' journal, and am having fun working in this format (16" x 8"). The background was painted transparently to let the background show through. The crows and sentiment were stamped onto tissue and then pasted on with art potch:



I drew over the tree with a gelato:



In this one the background is not transparent as it had a little coffee accident and had to be repainted. Shame about the coffee, though! The tree was painted, the three little cuties are part of a Gecko Galz image, the stars were stenciled:

The photos were taken this morning before and during sunrise, but it was so cooooold on my balcony! Still, some things are just important:













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

New challenge at Tag Tuesday

 Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and our lovely and talented Michele is hosting with the them 'All Hallows Eve'. She has made some inspirational pieces on our blog. 

I have a piece using a Gecko Galz image:




Hope to see lots of you joining in! As always you have 2 weeks to join us and tags of all formats are welcome - hope to see you there!

At TIOT our theme is also Halloween, and you have one more week to link your creations to us. I have another A3 mixed media journal page. I am also linking to Chris' 'hold the line' challenge at AJJ:









And some mixed photos from the past couple of weeks, my photo files got muddled up after a Windows update!
