Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good and safe weekend!

Today I am showing a journal page in honour of the bees and other insects, whose work of pollination is so important for us. The honeycomb was stenciled using acrylics, and the insect was fussy cut and placed on it. I added the stars using a gold pentel pen:



I am linking to Erika's challenge at AJJ, my fave things.

The pictures today are from a flea market in Düsseldorf, which usually takes place every Saturday. You can buy almost everything you can imagine there, and there is a cafe as well as several snack bars, live music, and loads of friendly people. I miss it just now!

 











In the café:




This lovely pink lady allowed me to show her photo and sent greetings to all the world:













I am sure we are all missing a lot of things just now, let's hope things will soon get better!

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

Thursday/ Friday post

Hi Everybody! 

Another week is flying by, where does time go?
Hope you are all well and safe.

Today I am sharing a journal I have been making at the clinic in our creative room. It's a concertina book, 5" x 10" when closed. The outside was painted with turquoise, blue and gold and the inside with white. I added stenciling, doodling and lots of tissue transfers which were stamped with Stazon ink. I stitched some pages onto the white side to make space for journaling, and stitched around the edges. On the blue side I added some random words to make a ort of free poem:










I am linking to Erika's  favourite things challenge at AJJ, as I love making albums, stamping and stenciling. I am also linking to Paint Party Friday

I have some photos taken at various times of the ferry and other ships which pass along the Rhine day by day:

Have a great day, take care,
