Thursday/ Friday post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have 2 pieces to share. The first is a mixed media A3 journal page, painted with acrylics, meant for my 'heavy metal' challenge at AJJ. The flowers were stenciled with gold paint, which I also used to outline her and add some decorations:

The second piece is a tag with a photo of Frida Kahlo, made for Wendy's challenge at Tag Tuesday:

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday

And I have more photos from beautiful Burg Linn:

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

Wednesday Post

 Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing another piece for my 'heavy metal' challenge at AJJ. This is a hybrid piece using a mixed media background with a head cut from a photo of a rusty panel taken near here. The heart is cut from gold foil, and the stars and ribbon were added digitally:

Today's photos were taken on a spring day 3 years back in Burg (castle) Linn, a moated castle dating from the 12th century. It is situated in Krefeld, a town not far from here on the other side of the Rhine:

Hope you enjoyed this breath of spring - more photos will follow in the course of the week.

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

T sTands for a New Challenge aT TIOT

Hi Everybody! 

Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT - love is in the air. You can view the beautiful creations of my teamies on our blog. Projects of all formats are welcome, and you have, as always, 2 weeks to link to us.  I didn't want to make a valentine, so made a journal page with a photo of my great aunt Fanny, a very dear lady, who was really always there for me, and was an anchor for me:

Today is also Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the ladies of the T Gang who visit here. My drink is, as usual, cappuccino:

And this chocolate biscuit with milk-cream filling was also very delicious:

We woke up again to more snow:

And some smiles:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
