New challenge at AJJ - birds

Hi Everybody!
Here's wishing us all a happy and healthy month of  May. Today we are starting a new challenge at Art Journal Journey, and this time the lovely Matilde is our guest host and has chosen 🐦birds🐦 as her theme.  The challenge runs for the whole month. Cards and tags are not allowed - please see the rules on our blog! I made a mixed media A3 piece using 'my' head, filled with birds, sunflowers, a face and some stenciled cogs and gears. The blue and yellow colours remind  us of Ukraine and what is happening there. We are looking forward to seeing your artwork!

Have a great dxay, take care,

Friday/Saturday post

Hi Everybody!

Today I met up with some friends in a Café in town here and we had ice coffees, and spent a nice couple of hours talking about this and that. It's great to have a catch-up from time to time!

Today I am sharing another one of my ladies inspired by Effy Wild, I love these ladies with big hair and lotS of leaves and flowers. This is an A3 piece painted with acrylics. It is inspired by the film  'Lady with red hair' (1940) starring Miriam Hopkins and Claude Rains, and is my last entry for Alisons 'Play it again, Sam' challenge at AJJ:

Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

I was out and about quite early today, as I needed to visit my doctor and hand over all of the reports from the clinic and collect a prescription. The weather was nice, so I was able to walk there  and back leisurely. This afternoon it's cold and stormy, so I'm not going out again! Good weather to stay home and make art! This piece was made while I was still in the clinic. There's the text of a Frank Sinatra song on it again, 'Fly me to the moon, and let me live among the stars'. It's an A3 piece painted with acrlic paints and markers and with added glitter. I am linking to Alison's 'Play it again, Sam' challenge at AJJ. I will also be linking to Rain's Thursday Art Date tomorrow, her theme is branches and leaves. My lady has leaves in her hair and in the sky, and my photos all have leaves and branches:

Have  a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
