Thursday / Friday post and Rain's TAD

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another rather wild collage for Neet's type challenge at AJJ. I used up lots of scraps and magazine cut outs on a textured background again. And Rain's theme this week is  rough textures, so it fits there, too. I was asked how I get the texture on the collaged pieces - I fix them on with matt medium and then brayer over them vigorously so that the texture comes through. The added words were random ones cut from a freebie sheet:

And I have more textured art pieces:

In nature there is always an abundant variety of textures, from smooth to rough:

People just left the glasses they had used by the Rhine:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Wednesday post

Hi Everybody!

It's already the middle of the week, time is flying! 

Today I have a hybrid tag to share for Wendy's seashells challenge at Tag Tuesday. I combined my photos of the bird and the anchor by the Rhine with some digital images and added the text digitally, too. I like combining reality and fantasy:

For Neet's type challenge at AJJ I have some fashion types and various types of colours and patterns. The girl on the left is a die cut from a magazine, the silhouettes were die cut. And the girl has letters on her jacket, too. This was fun to make with these glorious colours:

I took these photos on Sunday evening, just using my smart phone:

By the Rhine:

And some funnies from FB:

Have a great day, take care,

Tuesday Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another A3 mixed media piece to share, which will perhaps make some people shudder. I was trying to use up more UFAMTOs from my desk - unidentified flying around my table objects. So I collaged them here, and if you don't like beetles etc it may be hard to look at, but I had fun putting all these disparate objects together. I don't know what types of birds or beetles they are, perhaps David will know! The words and images were cut from various magazines, except for the birds, which were part of a paper napkin.  I am always surprised by the variety of types used in magazines - much too good to throw away! I am linking to Neet's type challenge at AJJ:

I am sharing some pictures of a visit to Eindhoven in Holland before Corona times. Blogger has completely reversed the order of the photos, sorry!
Some of the shops we visited had jazzy decorations:

Lots of bikes outside the station:

St Catherine's Church:

A peaceful courtyard where we had coffee - what else?

Old houses which I liked much more than the modern ones:

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