Monday /Tuesday post

 Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

This bird was one of the pieces made in the Kaleidoscope taster sessions. The lesson was from Eulalia . My bird is a bit different, but I had fun making it. I hope David will be able to name it....

And this colourful piece was a colour excercise from Tam:

This evening Elizabeth's TSFT will be starting, so I need some drinks to share:

On Saturday it was Heike's birthday, and she invited us to a wonderful restaurant by the Rhine in Düsseldorf. I chose grilled Salmon in a lovely  sauce, really heavenly. But I didn't take any pics of the delicious, hot chocolate sauce over a huge portion of vanilla ice-cream which we ate for dessert. My drink was water:

From the window we could look down at the river and the sheep grazing, and ships, large and small, swimming by:

Some funnies:

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for  coming by!

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy!

This week I tried a few of the Kaleidosocope taster sessions, and it was fun. I didn't have time to do them all, but at least I managed some.

The first piece I tried was from Kim Dellow, amd her piece was light and airy, so I was a bit unhappy with mine, which was too heavy and dark:

Then I decided to try it again....and liked it even less.

 

So I tried it a third time. This one was better, but still not what I wanted. But I decided not to try again. Sometimes it's better to leave things and get on with something else!

In the evening I looked at them again, and then they didn't look quite as bad....

Some flowers from my balcony:

Stormy weather again this afternoon:

More from David Zinn:

And this last one was a consolation for me today:

Have a great weekend, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Friday Post - What makes me happy # 10

Hi Everybody!

Another week is galloping by and the weekend is coming nearer . Today I am sharing a new piece - a huge one (70cms x 50) - which took me a long time to finish. It's always the little details at the end which take the most time!

I am linking to Matilde's 'what makes me happy' challenge, to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF.

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!
