Sunday Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend is going well.

Today I have another piece for Neet's type challenge at AJJ. The background is a page from an old Webster's dictionary. I gave it a light coat of gesso and collaged the lady, the magnifying glass and the definition. I did some background stamping with letters, and added some stenciled alphas and some stick on ones to create the words.

Some photos from my walks, creatively arranged by Blogger!

I love the lavender growing out of the wall - 'Out of the strong shall come forth sweetness'

I got caught in the rain and took shelter under the roof of the public toilets:

Sunrise is always beautiful:

This is where people gather to make a fire, other places are forbidden:

Waiting for the ferry:

Da Vinci speeding by:

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

Saturday Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, enjoy! And even after 12 years of being retired I still look forward to weekends.

Today I have another mixed media piece (16 x 12") for Neet's type challenge at AJJ. This was another print face I made after being inspired by Karen O'Brien's challenge at the Art is Magic weekend. I cut the body from a magazine and collaged it onto a page taken from a magazine. The fish was printed and cut out. I backed it with some cream coloured card to give it more stability:

Changing cloudscapes have accompanied us through the week again:

The tree where the birds like to gather is almost devoid of leaves:

Pigeons and a magpie, of course at the very top, the king of the castle:

And a wonderful sunrise which I enjoyed before taking my coffee back to bed to snooze for a bit longer:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
