Paint Party Friday and more

Hi Everybody!

Sorry I wasn't around yesterday, I had several appointments at various doctors which was time consuming and exhausting. At least I was lucky not to get caught in the rain, so that's something.

I am sharing another A3 mixed media collage page. The background was painted and textured and then I added some tissue pieces to add more depth. The Graffiti was cut from a magazine, including the letters BOG - the rest of the word was on the next side and was OTA! I used 2 paper dolls I found in my stash, a die-cut bird, and the fashion model on the left was from a tag I made years ago. The random letters were some left over rub-ons, which were a bit damaged, but I used them just the same. I am linking to Neet's type challenge at AJJ and to Paint Party Friday:

And I have a few archive photos from a beautiful lake we visited on a nice summer's day 2 years back:

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

Hi Everybody!

Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another tag for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday, I love these colours together. This time I have filled my head with van Gogh, the portrait and the starry night are both my own 'knock offs'

And for Neet's  Type challenge at AJJ I have another journal page, this time with a collage of squares cut from old letters and some marbled papers. I added some sewing until my machine decided to go on strike:

And I have more photos from the botanical gardens:

 Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

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:

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!
