Weekend Post

 Hi Everybody!

I had a wonderful day today (Friday), I was out and about with 2 friends. We went to Bonn and had a fun and delicious day, I will tell you more about it in my next post. Right now I just want to get the post finished and then head for bed!

Today I have another A3 mixed media  piece to share for Neet's type challenge at AJJ. The background was textured with a brayer. The flowers were collaged from paper napkins, and are my fave type of blue.  I added some scraps of old letters. The quote was  hand lettered and is from Ladybird Johnson:

Some photos from my balcony and from our little town:

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

Thursday / Friday post and Rain's TAD

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another rather wild collage for Neet's type challenge at AJJ. I used up lots of scraps and magazine cut outs on a textured background again. And Rain's theme this week is  rough textures, so it fits there, too. I was asked how I get the texture on the collaged pieces - I fix them on with matt medium and then brayer over them vigorously so that the texture comes through. The added words were random ones cut from a freebie sheet:

And I have more textured art pieces:

In nature there is always an abundant variety of textures, from smooth to rough:

People just left the glasses they had used by the Rhine:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
