Grunge and glass

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey, Susi's collage theme,
I have a mixed media/hybrid collage. I made my men very grungy after
 cutting them from a collaged and painted piece,
and added some extra blobs and splats.
The alphas are from Serif.




I snapped the  twinkling lights of the airport and the first light 
of the sun early this morning from my window:


The raven was waiting for me to dish up his breakfast:




And Here are a few more photos from the
wonderful glass museum:








An Art Nouveau Window:


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

Tuesday this and that.

Hi Everybody!
😊
There's a lot going on again on Tuesday.
We are starting a new challenge at TIOT,
and it's Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, 
so here a warm welcome to the nice ladies of the T Gang.
I am glad I always work well in advance, as the last few days
I wasn't able to do anything as I am still feeling bad.

At TIOT our new challenge is 'Layer it up'.
As always, you have 2 weeks to join us, and projects of all
formats are welcome, so hope to see you there.
I made a card, using an image from Gecko Galz, and I have 8 layers on the card.
I used crackle medium on the image, and the lovely floral brads were a present from Sabine, so thanks a lot!




For Art Journal Journey, Susi's collage challenge,  I have an A4 page. I stamped the Da Vinci image onto paper, and smudged the face 
with my finger while the ink was still wet - 
no faces etc allowed! 
I glued the paper onto a gelli print, 
and added it digitally to the grungy background, using a 
filter  to liven up the edges.




For T stands for Tuesday I want to show you some of the glass exhibits
from the museum  Kunstpalast that I visited last week. The small 
cup and saucer look so real, but they are in the glass.
I found this one unbelievably good.



These 2 are from the same artist:



I loved these modern glasses, too:


The whole museum is full of incredibly beautiful glass,
I will show more pics bit by bit. 
I loved the Art Nouveau pieces, too:





The stairs leading down to the antique glass section. This museum is
such a riot of colour and beauty, I will go back there
soon and enjoy it again:

Stormy weather

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey I have a hybrid piece. The background was painted, distressed and collaged. The 'graffiti' quote was stamped onto a gelli print and added together with the other images, and the chalked quote was added digitally:




I have stayed home over the weekend, but the sky and clouds
were worth taking photos of, and I much enjoyed watching the
ever changing heavens on Saturday evening:







And early Sunday morning:






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

Let's go somewhere....

Hi Everybody!

Just a short post today, I've not been feeling
so good these past days.

A hybrid piece meant for Susi's theme at Art Journal Journey,
using some add ons from Mischief Circus:




My tag from Tag Tuesday this week, our theme was 'reindeer':
😉Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery😉


And some views from my beloved Rhine: 


Here with a river police boat:




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