Weekend Post

Hi Everybody! 

It's weekend - enjoy!

Thanks to all who sent good wishes for my poor fingers, They are slowly getting better, and the blisters and cracks in the skin are starting to heal, which is a great relief. I hope it stays that way!

Today I am sharing another A3 face I painted, a bit different to those I usually paint, but I had great fun painting it:

Today I am also sharing another piece for my 'doors' challenge at AJJ. This is a photo of the school in London where I studied from 11 to 18, when I left to visit university. The motto 'Enter in and learn your duty, duty both to God and man' was written over the imposing entrance doors. Inside the entry was a bust of our founder. The school motto was taken very seriously. We were well taught, strictly disciplined and encouraged to undertake social activities to help others. The doors leading into the building  were also a portal to learning and moving on in the academic and work world. In the meantime the school has moved  to another location, and the students still wear uniforms, but they are not as ghastly as the ones we had to wear!

Thursday/Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well. Mine is flying by like crazy. Today I am sharing another piece for my challenge about doors at AJJ . This piece was made from leftovers. The blue painted cardboard was left over from something or other, as was the pink. I cut a heart from the pink card, glued the pieces together, and doodled the flowers. I added 2 left over stick-ons:

This another girl inspired by #Effy Wild in her Journal 52. I liked how his one turned out. I am linking to Paint Party Friday:

Have a great da, take care,

and thanks for coming by!

T sTands for loTs of frusTraTion

Hi Everybody!

I'm frustrated because I can't do things that I usually do because of my frigging fingers  and this makes me very frustrated.  Anyway, I painted a wonderful frustration piece today, with lots of scribbles. I will show it another time as it's too dark too take pictures now, the days are getting shorter and shorter. But soon we will pass through the mystical door of the solstice and then the days will get longer again.

My piece for my doors challenge show the open doors of a place where Alice is apparently determined to go in. The mad hatter and the queen of hearts are having a heated discussion, which ends with the mad Hatter saying, Alice, Alice, who the f*** is Alice, while the cat looks on gleefully.  Now you will have to wonder which side wins and if they go into the hotel for their afternoon tea. And to those who don't like bad language, sorry, but I'm singing that song from Smokie as I type and it is definitely improving my mood! If you want to listen to the song you can do so here

Alice was the introduction to Elizbeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party  which starts this evening! Help yourselves!

Today we are also starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, which goes live at 9 pm this evening. Our lovely and talented Pinkie is hosting and has chosen the theme of anything Christmas goes, so hope to see you there!

And some Thinkies:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
