Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, let's hope it will be a good one!

Today I am sharing a small tag made for my recycling challenge at Tag Tuesday. The citrasolv transfer on a scrap of printed paper was made long ago. I stamped round the edges and shaded them with Adirondack expresso ink before mounting it  onto two mats cut from leftovers:




Then I mounted it onto designer paper from LaBlanche, added a sentiment and some embellishments and sewed round the edges so it fits to Wendy's vintage challenge at AJJ:





So now back to our big hole:


For the past few days work has been started. A huge drill bored lots of holes into the road at marked places:


It looks like giant moles have invaded us:



The earth piles around the holes have been individually numbered:




 A porta potty is ready:


And this shows the van of the bomb disposal squad. They always do controls before digging and building in case any unexploded WWII bombs are there. I hope they didn't find anything:

And today we were even in the newspaper again. The drainage pipes are now on their way, and they hope the work will be finished by February. They didn't say if they mean February of 2022....We shall see! I will keep you informed!

Some photos from my morning walks:













And 2 funnies for you:



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

Thursday Friday Post - TAD and PPF

Hi Everybody!

Rain's theme today is 'Pop-art', so I'm showing a selection of my 'knock-offs' made in past years. I am also linking to PPF.

First up is the lovely Mona, made in Warhol style using a stencil:



Here I have used a stencil of Warhol himself:




This is more representative of op art, but also fits to pop art:




Keith Haring:




The sleepwalker:



The Iconic poster of the Chat noir from Théophile Steinlen shown in Warhol style:







Thierry Noir - and many other artists painted sections of the Berlin Wall:




This one was made using my Warhol knockoffs digitally combined to Poster size:


Niki de Saint Phalle always made extravagant statues of colourful and buxom women having fun:





The Lifesaver fountain in a neighbouring town (Duisburg) is one of her wonderful works. It moves round:





The photo is from Pexels and was taken by Jackson Thomas:


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