Losing my marbles - Geometric shapes No. 4, AJJ

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, so I hope we all have a good one, and some good weather. Today it was cold, wild and stormy, but some places near here had Tornadoes. But of course it's nothing to do with climate change!

Today I am sharing another journal page for my challenge at AJJ, using one of my heads. For those who don't know my heads, I can assure you that nobody suffered while making them! The head was cut from an old letter, and placed onto a quick and wild colour splurge page I painted- The small marbles are also cut from the same paper. The text was added digitally:

And I also have another tag for my challenge at Tag Tuesday  - Spring Flowers. The background is hand painted, the bird in the tree is this week's freebie at the Graphics Fairy - thanks Karen - and I added some extra flowers digitally:

The rain came down in torrents....These are all views from my balcony:

And then kept stopping and starting for a while:

This face is  made with a colourwash, using some Japanese water colour paint. I drew the outline with a fine brush, and then just used the same colour with more or less water added to paint the face and hair:

A spring collage:

More rainbows, and David Zinn has sneaked in here:

No life without coffee (and a little cake):

And here I tried to paint my friend's horse again. I think it's better than the first one I tried, but it still makes me cringe!

Have a happy weekend, have fun,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Intarsien - Geometric shapes no. 3, AJJ

 Hi Everybody!

Today I cut some golden pieces to resemble intarsien, which were often used on handmade furniture as ornaments. My great uncle was what used to be called  a 'cabinet maker', and together with a partner he made beautiful pieces of furniture into which intarsien made of all sorts of wood, ivory, gold foil etc were inserted.I loved watching him work and admiring his patience as he inlaid these fine and delicate pieces. This is not a pattern from him, but one which  I cut and laid digitally:

I saw this beauty on FB:

I love the last remains of last year's flowers, they look like lace:

Clever:

More of the clinic buildings - geometric shapes everywhere!:

What comes around goes around - Geometric shapes No 2

Hi Everybody!

I just had this post finished, and must have pressed a wrong button - poof! All gone. So now I have to start all over again, grrrrr! Today I am sharing another piece for my chalenge at AJJ  - geometric shapes. Once again I have used circles, together with ovals, discs and a star. And I would love to see you joining in!

Shadow windows - the sun and the window were both behind me:

Painting to pass the time - very soothing

Another abstract piece made on an A1 cardboard backing from a sketch block, things like this are fun. There were some colour smudges on the cardboard, I just left them there and went wit the flow.

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!
