Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Another week has raced by and now it's weekend. I have no appointments so I can do what I want , and that's the way I like it! 

I have another piece for my challenge at AJJ. The background was made with my gelli plate, and the rest is just a mix of blue objects and one of my heads. For those who don't know, I have a lot of heads, all made from paper....


I am linking to my geometric shapes challenge at AJJ.

Some photos from the Rhine and from my balcony:









These photos have not been coloured, we just had a strange light on that evening:






Part of a painting I am working on. What is it? Your guess is as good as mine!

 






Have a great weekend, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

Pythagoras

 Hi Everybody!

I think those who don't like geometry will shudder at today's post, which features Pythagoras. He was a mathematician and philosopher in ancient Greece. Many students still have to learn his famous theorem, whether they want to or not....Here it is:


And a pythagoras joke:

I met one of my beautiful Maths teachers yesterday

We greeted and she asked me directions to the State Bank of India. I told her make a 299 degrees turn and walk for 290 meters, then subtend the angle of X using Pythagoras Theorem and round it up to the nearest degree using tan ∆. From that point, draw a parabolic curve and walk 342 meters on its major axis and bisect the straight road at an obtuse angle. That's where the bank is.

Let her feel what I felt when I was in school.

I used to like geometry  and algebra etc at school, but these days I use the calculator in my phone....

This isn't me, but I love what she's saying:


I just had to go for a cappuccino this morning after my appontment at the doc's, I NEEDED it:



At the Rhine it was cold, grey and wet:




And I have some more pics from David Zinn:








There are lots of faces, so I will be linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF on Friday.

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

Yet another geometric shapes page

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well. This week has got off to flying start - time is flying and I'm running behind it. Today I have another piece for my geometric shapes challenge, hope you like it:

(I used lots of stencils here)



And I also have another tag for Sandie's anything goes challenge at Tag Tuesday:


This is one of my drawings fcrom the 1990s!

A few of my coffee mugs:

Here David is taking a rest and his little creatures are cooking for him:




Can you think of a caption for this Kitty?


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

Monday Post on Sunday afternoon

 Hi Everybody!

This is the first post I'm typing on my new laptop. I've been busy for a few days trying to get everything set up, and slowly I'm getting there. I still need to install some of my favourite posts, slowly, slowly, slowly.... I hope I will have it all finished before I need another one!

Today I have a piece for my geometric shapes challenge challenge at AJJ, made with a stencil, acrylic paints and acrylic pens:




And now let's get started with some fun to put us in a good mood for the new week:



And some more from David Zinn:





For all who love books:


 This is my fave beret. I was in a hurry and threw it onto the table where it landed on the glass bowl for my odds and ends, and realised I had created a photo of myself:


Coffee helps start the new week well, too:




Good morning, I am the coffee fairy and wish you a great day:


I will be linking to Elizabeth's TsfT drink party which starts on Monday evening:


Scenes from along the Rhine:


And some photos from the old cemetery in Düsseldorf (not the coffee!


Have a good start in the new week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
