TGIF

Hi Everybody!

It's Friday, how nice, I'm looking forward to the weekend as this has been a busy week with lots of appointments!  Today I have an A3 face painting which was painted on a piece of recycled paper which was wrapped round some sheets of coloured card that I bought at the stationer's here in town. He rolls the card and secures it with scrap paper, which I then painted on. I used the colours which were on my palette, just her 'lipstick' was new.  Sometimes it's fun to paint  something quick and grungy. I am linking to Elizabeth's recycling challenge at AJJ:

Have a great Friday, take care,

Wednesday post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your Easter / Passover  weekend - now have a great week. Just a short post from me today, time has run away from me! The background of the page was made a long time back, but their was no focal image. So I printed Leda onto an old dictionary page - I still have loads of pages - and added the lace and embellishments, which have all been used before, too. I am linking to Elizabeth's recycling challenge at AJJ:

And I recycled  yesterday's dinner and made it into today's lunch, and it tasted very good!

Heike gave me this beautiful basket with lots of eggs - real and chocolate - and a rabbit:

I don't know if you can see it, but the bunny is wearing a bow tie made from a 50€ bank note. Now that's a great nest egg! Thanks Heike!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for This and That

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing another altered  A4 Amazon envelope, which I will be using for storing  papers, scraps or whatever. The first one is here, if you havent seen it already. I couldn't pull the top layer of paper off, as I wanted to, as my fingers don't have the strength anymore, so I slashed into it with the point of my fine scissors and roughened it up a bit. I painted the background with gesso, and added some colour with gold paint and soft pastels. Then I collaged some bits and bobs from my table, including the die-cut clock which I have often used as a stencil. I added another squiggle of gold paint around the clock and a sentiment - done! I am enjoying doing some grungy work again! I am linking to Elizabeth's recycling challenge at AJJ:

On Monday evenings we start celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, where we share drinks and more .

On Saturday I walked home through the park. Sometimes I have the feeling I am being watched....

This is one of my fave decorations at home, all carved from one piece of wood, including the frame. And it's the only thing on my walls that hasn't been made b me:

Not one of my best pics:

Ane here are more of the pics I rescued from my camera after forgetting them for weeks:

I love misty mornings!

And what are these shoes for?

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
