Hearts, rust and more

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another journal page for my heavy metal challenge at AJJ.

The background was hand painted, the heart was cut from a rusty photo, and the embellishments are from Serif and were added digitally:

And I have more photos from Burg Linn.

After leaving the castle we walked through the village belonging to it:

We enjoyed the well kept allotments:

A riding stable:

A heavy metal fountain:

I love the old mill paddle-wheels:

Not a white unicorn but a beautiful, white horse!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

 

T sTands for a new challenge aT Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

This evening we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday. This time I am hosting and my theme is black, white and one other colour. Tags of all formats are welcome, and as always, you have 2 weeks to link to us. Hope to see lots of you joining in! I have made a Frida tag, I stamped the image and added the flowers, heart and text digitally:

 Today is also time for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link parTy, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang who visit here. Today I am sharing some photos 'from the good old times', taken at a coffee shop in the old Harbour in Düsseldorf:

Brewing the coffee is taken very seriously by the barista:

A little work of art:

Next door they were offering coffee to go:

The TV tower has disappeared in the mist:

Different coffees to choose from - I chose desert rose!

And I loved this rusty hydrant we saw on the street:

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

 

Weekend Post

 Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy!

Today I am sharing a piece made for the More Mixed Media challenge. As always, our challenges are all anything mixed media goes, with an optional colour choice of red. You have 4 weeks to link to us, and there are prizes of digital paper packs to be won. Hope to see you there!

I made an A3 mixed media page. The background was gessoed and then splattered with gold paint. The heart was cut from book paper and collaged. Then I painted it red and overpainted it with diluted gold when it was dry. The birds were stenciled with gold and bronze:

I am also linking to my 'heavy metal' challenge at AJJ

And I have some more photos of Burg Linn :

There was a Roman historical festival going on while we there. Lots of booths and tents had been erected and the 'Romans' were giving demonstrations of how things were done way back then:

The coots build there nests in the middle of the water:

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