T sTands for This and ThaT

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good, new week! We had a sunny weekend here with warmer temperatures which were very welcome.

Today I have another piece to share for my heavy metal challenge at AJJ:

I made an A3 mixed media page with a metallic lizard, stars and some gold spots,  some of which look black. Sorry for the bad pics, the weather was awful when I took the photos, so the lighting was not right:

This evening Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party will begin, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang. I didn't get round to visit everybody last week, sorry, I had a couple of bad days. Here the photos were taken in Neuss,  neighbouring town:

My cappuccino. I love their cups!

I am showing more pictures of the street festival in Duisburg in 2018:

The Lifesaver fountain is from Nicki de Saint Phalle, who was famous for her 'nanas'

Then we decided to take a boat trip through the harbour
These were the bathroom decorations on the ship:

The gates of the harbour:

 Old warehouses:

More photos will follow in my next post!

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

 

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a great weekend, stay safe and well! Here the weather has turned warm. Last week we had -14°, on Sunday we're expecting 18 - 20°. The sun is shining, and the birds are singing!

For my heavy metal challenge at AJJ I made an A3 piece on a painted and textured nackground. The sunflowers were stenciled with silver structure past, the birds with gold and bronze paint. The text is a German saying, 'Talking is silver, silence is golden'

The photos were taken at a street festival in Duisburg, a neighbouring town, a couple of years back. I think we are all looking forward to times when we will be able to mingle with other people without worrying about masks and keeping our distance!

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

Thursday/Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well and staying safe!

Today I have another A3 mixed media piece for my heavy metal challenge at AJJ. I used stencils over a background painted with gesso and gold. The crow and the small bids were swiped with diluted gold paint to give a bit of shimmer. The sentiment was also stenciled.
I am also linking to Paint Party Friday

More photos from snow taken from the house or out in the park:

 

Have a great day. take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
