New challenge at More Mixed Media

 Hi Everybody!

Things are hotting up here, and the powers that be in Düsseldorf have mandated that masks have to be worn on all streets in the whole town and environment, with exceptions only for woods, parks and green spaces where there is plenty of space and few people. They are threatening with fines up to 25,000€ for not being masked. I hope this will help stop the rapid rise of Covid here.

Today we are starting a new challenge at More Mixed media. All of our challenges are anything mixed media goes, this time with an optional colour choice, black.

I made an A3 mixed media collage page using an image of Beethoven. I threaded a piece of cord through the right corner as I can't sew in my journal! And I sewed the textile ornament under the bust of Beethoven:

For Wendy's texture challenge at Tag Tuesday I have a tag. The background is part of  a recycled TH packet, the sunflower was stenciled:

 Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing a collage made during the Lifebook Taster Sessions with Amanda Trought. This was a many layered collage:

We started off by making a collage:

I gave the collage a coat of gesso:

Then I did a layer of scribbling with oil pastels:

The next layers were with structure paste:

Then another layer gesso:

Then it was time to start doodling and working with stencils:

As as there are 2 small birds on it, I am linking to Wendy's challenge at AJJ.

The seagulls were bobbing along in the river:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
