New challenge at TIOT - sparkle and shine

Hi Evverybody!

It's time for a new challenge at TIOT, and this time our theme is Sparkle and Shine, so we want to see your sparkly and shiny creations. Creations of all formats are welcome, so come and join us! I made an A3 acrylic painting and used lots of gold, but it was hard to catch the shine in the photos. In real life it is much more shiny! And please have a look at the lovely creations made by my buddies on our blog:

New challenge at Art Journal Journey

 Hi Everybody!

It seems like yesterday that we started with Elle's lovely challenge at Art Journal Journey, and already we have a new one. Many thanks to Elle for her fun theme which we all loved. Our new challenge is being hosted by Elizabeth and Beubeard. We have a lot of choice this time as there are 2 themes - collage fodder and / or food & drink. I have chosen collage fodder for my first piece. I started with an A3 page with a lot of frustration scribbles on it and then painted over it with some left over blue paint. I had a face painting made a year or so back, and i hated it, so I cut it up into circles and triangles and collaged them onto the page. Then I added some more doodling, the stenciled birds, and the text which is too blurry to read. It's a found poem, made out of random words: 

FLY   she wanted to fly away
she did not understand
She believed in the good
of birds and flying things
of flight and freedom
she could taste the wind
where she can be found

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a great weekend. Here it was warm and sunny with temps up to 25°, really incredible for the end of October . It made for pleasant walking and lots of people were buying ice cream and enjoying it in the sun. I just had my usual coffee!

Elle recently sent me this fabulous, handmade postcard, with text from Harry Potter in the background. What a fabulous Halloweeen card! Thanks so much, Elle, much appreciated:

And it was in this lovely envelope with gorgeous Harry Potter stamps and also decoratively stamped with Halloween motives:

As I am a great Harry Potter fan this was something fantastic for me, and I will treasure it. Thanks again, Elle!

This evening we will be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a nice welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang. I am sharing my coffee photo and these wise sayings relating to coffee:

And this is so true - let's see how long the next one lasts!

And I have a Halloween tag:

Have a great day, take care,

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy!

Today I am re-showing  a piece made a few years back just because I like it!

At the moment our weather is very mild and sunny, more like late summer than late autumn, and I enjoyed a walk and took some pics with my phone:

And as a reward I bought myself a cappuccino:

And some funnies/ thinkies:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
