Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another tag to share for Pinky's challenge  at Tag Tuesday. There is still plenty of time to enter the challenge with the theme of  books and bookpages - hope to see YOU there!

For my tag an old dictionary page was used. The central image is Leonardo's beautiful Leda, one of my all time favourites!

This is a hybrid piece with a hand painted page in the background, a gauze heart in the middle, a photo of my balcony blackbird, and a cat which I coloured in. This is not something I like doing. The cat image was given to me by a friend who said he was so looking forward to seeing it done. So I did it, and it took such a long time! My fingers wouldn't be able to manage it these days! But I like this combination of things here:

Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have a hybrid piece for Neet's fur or feathers challenge, and I'm happy to say that this time I have both on my page. The background is hand painted, the ladies are both lino cuts I made a couple of years back. The animals and tree are from Serif. The text is a hymn we used to sing in morning assembly at primary school, I'm sure others who went to school back in those times will know it, too:

I'm also linking to Rain'sTADD -harvest and food.

I will be back on Friday!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

New Challenge at TIOT

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT and our theme is

EMBOSSING.

As usual you can use any medium you choose, as long as you follow the challenge theme.

 I made 2 mixed media tags and the flowers were embossed with structure paste through a stencil. I did a lot of sewing on the tags, my machine has been repaired! The sentiments are from Tim Holz:

If you put them together it looks almost like one piece!

As always you have 2 weeks to link to us and

We are looking forward to seeing what you make!

And we are also starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday. This time our lovely and talented Pinky is hosting and her theme is books/ bookpages. Pinky has made some wonderful tags for ispiration, do take a look, and I hope to see you joining in! This is my tag:

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good weekend. We're still enjoying cool and rainy weather here, so lovely! 

Today I have the last (for now!) of my moon ladies, I need to start on new themes! This was once again hard to photograph because of the metallic paint I used. As always, it's an A3 sheet painted with acrylics:

When I showed this baby owl on my blog recently, Neet asked me if I could make one of my hybrid pieces using it. So here, specially for Neet, a journal page assembled from 2 photos, a mouse image and a digital frame. I am linking to Neet's fur or feathers challenge at AJJ:
