Weekend Post - Selkies and Scribbles:

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 

Today I have a piece I made during the Lifebook taster sessions. I'm sorry, I've forgotten which teacher this was from. It's about the legend of the Selkies. Selkies are creatures who are half human and half seal. When they are on land they are completely human, when in the water they are just seals. They are supposed to be able to sing so beautifully that they can lure mortals to them. So be careful if your by the sea and hear a strange and hauntingly beautiful melody!
I am linking to Elles' Tell me  a story challenge at AJJ.





This was another of the Lifebook taster sessions, and once again I have forgotten the name of the teacher, shame on me. Anyway, it was great fun just to be playful here:

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

Thursday/ Friday post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have some art for various challenges. First off I have an autumnal piece for Elle's challenge at AJJ, tell me a story. The story is a poem from Keats. The background is a photo of a misty morning taken from my window, the rest was added digitally:



The second piece is meant for Nicole's Friday Face Off:



And last but not least, a Halloween piece for Rain's TADD:

I will also be linking to Gillena's Friday art fun.

Sorry, not much bla-bla today, I am very exhausted again.

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

New challenge at TIOT and at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT and our theme is Halloween. I have a hybrid journal page, made up of a painted background, some photos and digital elements. Remember to look at all the lovely pieces on our blog created by my teamies:



I am also linking to Elle's tell me a story challenge at AJJ - this picture tells its own story!

Our new theme at Tag Tuesday is autumn colours. Many thanks to Sandie for getting the post up and doing the admin until I can manage a bit more! The leaves here were cut from painted and embossed paper, the bead was hand made many moons ago!



We had a beautiful sunrise this morning:

T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a great new week. I am still struggling and need to rest a lot which means I can't do as much as I would like to , but I have to get used it for a while!

For Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party I have a piece made many years back. Here I would like to welcome all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here:




Coffee and cake:



This piece was also created many years back, and the photos were taken in a booth at the beginning of the 1980s :




I'm marveling at how nicely I could write on my old pages!

Having a rest:


Love:



David, what sort of birds are they?


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

Weekend post

Hi Everybody!

Just a short post for the weekend.

This was a quick-drip page to make the trees and forest, then with added stick-ons and doodles. As you can see, little Red is having fun with the animals, I hope she doesn't pick any of those mushrooms for Granny. I think the wolf is lurking somewhere but not yet daring to show his face! This is meant for Elle's challenge at AJJ, tell me a story!









This is an old one from one of my sketch books which fell on my foot:

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