Picatso

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, enjoy!

Today I am sharing another piece for my anything goes challenge at AJJ

Allow me to introduce you to Picatso, a tough guy cat from the city streets who always gets his way. He reminded me of Macavity, a poem we learned at school, and I wrote a few lines on the page. the poem is from T.S. Elliott, and you can read it here. Picatso doesn't look like Macavity, but he behaves like him!

Thursday Post and 2nd on the 2nd

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another piece for my anything goes challenge at AJJ. I used a vintage envelope on which I glued lots of stamps and then stamped various images and words with Archival black ink. I collaged it onto a 7" x 7"piece of black card from an old calendar. This was quick and fun:

And I have some collage pieces posted in 2014, using various scrap papers, remnants of ribbons and cloth and a lot of sewing. They are all A3 size, and I am linking to Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd:

This was one of my faves:

I think I will make more collages like this, they were such fun to make!

I am also linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's Friday art fun.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

New challenge at Art Journal Journey!

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge, and I will be your host at Art Journal Journey this month. Thanks so much to Erika who gave us the lovely challenge of seeing red in February, which I very much enjoyed.

My theme is:

ANYTHING GOES.

That means you can choose any theme, colour combo, style etc that you like, but of course, it must be a journal page, and tags and cards are not permitted. For the complete rulesy please see the blog at AJJ. This is a good theme to journal your heart out, play around, try things you haven't done beforehand, experiment with different mediums etc.  And you can join in as often as you want! 

One of my favourite themes is faces, and I have a colourful A3 mixed media piece to share with you, inspired by a lesson from Tamara Laport. You can see lots of colours, mark-making, drawing, painting etc, and I had great fun creating it.

Hope to see you joining us at AJJ, stay creative and above all,

have fun!

Have a great day, take care,

T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!
Hope you all had a good weekend. I was able to go home again from Saturday to Sunday and enjoyed my time at home. On Sunday I met up with 2 lovely friends and we went out for a wonderful meal and then to another place for a cappuccino. It was all delicious, but the best part was meeting up with 2 good friends! 

Today I have a hybrid tag to share, showing Frida with butterfly wings as a fairy for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday:

Then I mounted the tag onto a sqare background to make a journal page for Erika's challenge  at AJJ.  This will be my last entry for this challenge:

This evening we start celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who come by.
