New Challenge at TIOT

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at  TIOT -

🌺🌻 summer blooms 🌻🌺

As always, you have 2 weeks to join us and projects of all formats are allowed and welcome, including digital ones. Have a look at the great creations of my teamies on our blog!

I made a mixed media piece, 10 x 14". First I painted the flowers very loosely on black water colour paper, and cut them out when they were dry. I used the left over paint to brayer the background, which I mounted onto grey cardstock. I arranged the flowers along 2 sides, and collaged the lady in green in the middle. The title is also from a magazine and means 'Take courage'. I think the title is meant to encourage myself today, as I have an appointment by a neurologist for various tests. I will be round to visit your blogs later in the day when I get back! I am also linking to Neet's type challenge at AJJ:

The flowers I painted:

And some summer blooms from the Botanical Gardens at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for This and That on Monday

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good start in the new week. Today I have a new tag for Michele's blue and orange challenge at Tag Tuesday. The background was made with a left over piece of painted paper, then collaged, stitched, and given a few flowers and feathers. You still have a week to join us:

My types today are numbers. I used another page from the giant Webster's dictionary for the background, and gave it a coat of diluted gesso. For the numerals I used  a stencil for the larger ones, and then fussy cut them. The smaller ones are stickers. I am linking to Neet's type challenge at AJJ:

This evening we will be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here:

I had a cappuccino:

And my friends had ice, which I mustn't eat at the moment as it is not good for my pancreas :(

 

At the Wednesday market they were selling coffee too:

I baked a lemon cake, help yourselves, there's plenty there:

And we had some beautiful evening skies:

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