Midweek post

Hi everybody!

I have been painting more faces, I want to practice, and this time I have another girl with red and gold hair, and gold earrings to match. I am having fun with these faces, and there will be more coming with different hair colours! I still have a lot of pain, but I take lots of rests in between adding the layers and letting the paint dry. On the 2nd one I have placed some words, I haven't glued them down yet as I was unsure. What do you think - with or without them? I would be grateful for your opinions:

Tuesday's beautiful sunrise: 

And some thinkies:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Tuesday Post - new challenge at Tag Tuesday and 2nd on the 2nd

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday and this time the lovely and talented Wendy is our host. For her theme she has chosen 'windows, doors and arches'. She has made some fantastic and inspiring examples on our blog, hop over and have a look!  As always, you have 2 weeks to join us and tags of all formats are welcome. I made a tag which takes me back to picture books i my childhood:

Fot Chris's challenge at AJJ, all kinds of weather, I have a hybrid piece, put together out of a face painting and a photo of a bird on a branch with some added digital elements:

Today is also Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd, so I am sharing some posts from previous years. These were all made for the AJJ masculine/feminine challenge back in 2014:

T sTands for a New Challenge at AJJ

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at AJJ, and this time our lovely and talented Chris is hosting and her theme is "all kinds of weather". Now that leaves a lot of scope for making journal pages! For the dreaded rules please see the AJJ blog! I made a hybrid piece with a photo taken from my window set into a stitched window-frame and digitally assembled. Inside all cosy and outside wild weather:

As you can see I have tea and coffee on the table, as today is also Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely  ladies of the T Gang who visit here

I indulged in a cinnamon and raisin Christmas tree from the bakery, so delicious, with crunchy cinnamon pieces in it, a delight!

And cappuccino for me!

Now we are being told that they are building here, just in case anybody hadn't noticed it in the past 2 months:

I'm pleased to say the trench is getting longer, they are working well:

Lots of kids out and about on our main street:

New decorations in the book shop:

The first Halloween decoration I have seen in our town:

The beautiful Rhine;

A neighbour's garden:

And some funnies/thinkies:

Have a great week, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
