New challenge at Art Journal journey

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at AJJ and the lovely and talented Tracey is our guest host, with the theme of 'The meaning of....'.  She explained that she wants to see things we like doing, things which are important to us, whatever they are, and that it's really another name for 'anything goes', which gives us all scope to journal about the things we love, and that's great. As always, you have the whole month to get creative and link to us!

One thing I like doing is creating journal pages with lots of texture in my A3 journal. The paper doll was given to me last year and I decided to build her into my page. I added some gold spots cut from an old gift envelope, stars, and some netting for good measure. The small circles were doodled:

We have also started a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, also anything goes or Christmas, take your pick, and our lovely Sandie is hosting:

Some photos taken late afternoon / early evening with my cell phone while I was out and about, so the quality isn't very good, but it gives you an impression:

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

T sTands for This and ThaT

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend in spite of the general situation at the moment. We just have to get through this! 

Today I am showing a piece which was not exactly a success, perhaps I should have concentrated more on the painting and less on the TV programme I was watching at the same time, which caused me to forget something....I painted the picture after watching a video from the Art Sherpa, and was feeling quite pleased with it, until I noticed that I had forgotten the legs on one of the birds....As you can see, the bird on the right now has its little legs dangling, so I painted a little twig coming from nowhere so he could rest his feet....But it does have birds on it, so I can link to Wendy's 'birds' them at AJJ:

This evening is also time for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T gang who visit here.

My fave drink is always coffee or cappuccino:

I baked some raisin scones, but they didn't live long:

My kitchen cabinets are old and shabby, so I have various posters, pictures and postcards on the doors to liven them up a bit:

And these nice cows live on top of the cabinets:

Some trees still have some leaves:

Beautiful mornings:

Watching the moon rise:

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