Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing a piece inspired by Eulalia Mehija's lessson in the Art Soul Gathering. I used an A3 brush-wipe page with lots of blues as my background. The red love bird in the middle is flying to the rainbow, and the other birds are already flying high. Sorry about the bad pics, I'm blaming my fingers! I am linking to Neet's fur or feathers challenge at AJJ:

I took these pics along the Rhine this morning. The river is still very low, and we have wide 'beaches'. 'They' keep promising rain, but it's not arrived yet!

The stream is more like a puddle!

Some funnies/thinkies:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

New Challenge at TIOT and....

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday - TIOT-and the theme this time is animals. They can be real or imaginary ones, and projects of all formats are allowed and welcome.  As usual you have 2 weeks to link to our blog. I am also linking to Neet's challenge at AJJ, as elephants are hairy and have fur in their ears. I made another elephant, this time a hippie elephant surrounded by flowers, and singing, 'If you are going to San Francisco....'

And this wonderful photo fits well:

Today we are also starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our lovely Wendy is hosting and roses is her theme. She has made some lovely examples on our blog. I made a hybrid piece, put together using photos, 

 and painted backgrounds, digitally combined:

And some thinkies- funnies:

Have a great day, take care,

Hope you all enjoyed - or are still enjoying your weekend for those celebrating Labor Day in the States and Labour Day in Canada . David, I hope you now feel pacified!
Today I have a hybrid piece for Neet's fur or feathers challenge at AJJ. Hybrid is a mix of hands-on cafting, photography and digital elements put together in a graphic s programme. As you see, I have gone with feathers:

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a great weekend and to all in the States a happy Labor Day weekend. Here I am looking forward to a lazy weekend with some painting,  drinking coffee and talking to friends.

Today I am sharing another piece for Neet's fur or feathers challenge at AJJ. This is an A3 collage with lots of stenciling and a piece of tissue paper from Jane Davenport, with an image which I painted over.. The strange creature on the right was a magazine cut out of a highly magnified bug, which definitely has furry legs. And on the left is a dream catcher with 3 feathers. Sorry the photos aren't so good, it's difficult when I have the shakes! And I am trying to accept my shaky fingers and the sometimes poor results.

And I have some funnies and thinkies:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
