T sTands for 2nd on the 2nd and more

Hi Everybody!
Hope you are all doing well.
I am trying to do less just now, as I tend to do too much and then I get very exhausted again. But it's hard!
Today I have some collaged pieces from 2016 /2017 for 2nd on the 2nd. Collage and painting are always my favourite occupations:




When I grew up in London I saw 'Bill Posters will be prosecuted' everywhere. I thought Bill Posters was a person, and felt very sorry for him:







Here the images were inspired by Enrico Baj:


And here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit for Elizabeth's TsfT, where we share drinks and more:

Some Easter decorations with Tea-pots in the background::


These will be presents for the family that lives above me:


And of course, there is no T Day without drinks:


I made this journal page for Heike using a repurposed photo I took in the Pizzeria:


And some funnies/thinkies:






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 at AJJ and this  time our hosts are our lovely Bleubeard and Elizabeth .Their theme is:

Recycle, re-use and repurpose

I am  sure we all have loads of stuff we could use for this - I know I have! Cardboard, old envelopes, scraps that are too good to throw away, a few inches of leftover ribbon or lace, journal pages that we started but never finished, cut outs from magazines - you name it, I'm sure we've got it!

Today I am sharing 2 A4 pages, made years back and never finished. Today I gave them some finishing touches and added the little girl and the embellishments - taken from another old journal page  - and pasted them onto a pink, paper tote. It looks a bit crinkly just now, as I took the pics before the glue had dried.

I made a few of these totes a few years back, and I think I will alter more of tthem as I have  so many which need to be used....







I discovered thes pics on my camera, I took them some weeks back and forgot all about them:








Canada Geese for David:




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

TGIF

Hi Everybody!

First of all I would like to thank all you lovely girls who linked to my  anything goes challenge at AJJ, I was overwhelmed by all of the wonderful entries, so many ideas, styles and colours - fabulous! And a big thank you to my teamies who supported me so well.

This is my last entry for AJJ. I started this page a few years back, and last week I finished it, wonders never cease! It's an A4 watercolour and ink sketch, the birds were stenciled:




I love this dog:


And these 3, too:


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

I bought this dark chocolate last week. It's very delicious, and it's a bit dearer than others, but  each bar that's sold provides a meal for hungry people: 


I will be back tomorrow as we are starting a new challenge with a new host at AJJ.
See you then!

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

Thursday Post

Hi Everybody!

Just a quick post today, I have an appointment with my neurologist and she is on the other side of town, so I need to get moving!

Today I am sharing a piece made with a magazine cut out, which I collaged and altered. I was thinking about getting older, and the changes it makes in us. I added scraps of paper to one side of her face and hair, and an eye, which looks rather myopic, cut from a drawing I made.  I faded some of the pictures, too - perhaps the feeling of fading away. I am linking to my anyting goes challenge at AJJ:







And some funnies / thinkies:




I will also be linking to Nicole's FFO and

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