Thursday / Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I enjoyed a sleep in and then coffee in bed - yessssssssss! I  could get used to things like that, so I think I must do it more often!

Today the weather is nice, no rain - yet, mild temperatures and ideal for taking a little walk into town and having a cup of cappuccino. And I visited Heike and we had a nice gossip for a few minutes / hours and then I came bach home. Now I'm sitting here with my coffee and typing this.

Recently Heike gave me some nice totes she got when she bought something, and they inspired me straightaway:

And after half an hour playing with acrylic pens I had this:

I love the simplicity and sparse use of colours:

Sometimes it's fun to do something different:

I found this poem on the internet, and found it fitted well to this face:

If you could see what I see when I look at you,
You'd definitely love you, too.
You would hold your head up high,
For you possess beauty that no one can deny.

And this second piece is a great contrast to the first one:

These trees along the path are beautiful:

The same view in 3 different seasons:

Eye to eye....

Sound advice:

Hi Everbody!

It's time for a new week, weekends don't last for ever! Today I have a new piece for Pinky's 'birds' challenge at Tag Tuesday. You still have a whole week to start birding and to enter your tags for our lovely Pinky!

And I have stayed by the theme of birds for my new piece for our poetry challenge at AJJ. I have used a verse from Maya Angelou. The piece is 8x8", and has been stamped and painted. I also used some glitter paste and metallic foil. The script was added digitally:

Some thinkies, funnies and David Zinn's art:

Is the Pope a Catolick?

And some pics from David Zinn, always so beautiful:

And as Elizabeth's TsfT starts this evening, I have some drink related pieces:

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post - Geese by Mary Oliver

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a happy and restful weekend. Or an exciting weekend for those who prefer it. I just know I had a busy week and am looking forward to sleeping, reading and painting. And I have some sweet potatoes and want to make some fries with them - yummy!

I have another piece for our poems challenge at AJJ, this time with a poem by Mary Oliver. The photos of the geese are from me, and the background was handpainted. I used various offcuts of card and a textile daisy. This is a poem I like very much:

And the geese inspired me to show lots of photos of various birds. Living near the Rhine and several small streams and lakes we have a wide variety of water fowl:

These were taken at a moated castle nearby, I love the reflections:

Blackbird singing in the dead of night....

Yesterday it poured all day, with thunder and lighting as well. I was happy I could stay home:

Some thinkies / funnies (especially for Erika and Jeanie and other bookworms):

Have a great weekend, take care, 

And thanks a lot for coming by!
