Owling

Had a great time yesterday making

this set of ATCoins.

Using a self made background

(stamped with real leaves and a branch stamp)

and wicked Katzelkraft owl stamps,

coloured with Zig pens. 

Sentiments are Dutch Doobadoo stickers.

Let's see your summer art,

there is only 7 links to go for a 

awesome surprise for some

lucky artist, so link your art there --->>

Hello old Friend

Gecko Galz started to have daily challenges

at their blog last month. Every day is a new theme

and if you enter the daily challenge, you'll

get a sheet of great pictures to play with

Today's theme was "Dark Dreams" 

and I entered the challenge twice

with this ATC

Both images and sentiment is from GG.

and also with this card

where I used the images I got from today's freebie sheet.

Let us see what you have been creating,

I believe there is some happy mail coming

to someone from other side of the world when our

froggy has got 40 links there --->>>>

Blood at the Opera and the music on...

What happens when you hit that Top D note?

Escaping the Asylum at the start of winter was so imperative, Anne was even willing to suffer a 10-hour then 13-hour flight to attend 2 days of Andy Skinner workshops at Lets Be Creative in Rogate - about an hour's drive south of Heathrow airport.  Except I was driving from the Fens, and the GPS decided to take me back into London instead of taking the M25 - adding 2 hours to that drive.  So my own singing could have been a little sour by the time I got there.  But Lovely Brigitte had organised a "billet" with, would you believe it, another kiwi!!!  Thank you Lois for the comfy bed, good company, I hope you still have some pineapple lumps left :) 

Below is the class we did on day 2, with plenty of Andy's new product, lava paste, in use.  I didn't dare stay to the end of the class in case of holdups somewhere along the motorways, but as it turns out the baggage queue at Heathrow was "short-staffed"  - would you believe once we barged through the queue to get our boarding passes, we then spent almost 4 hours in the queue trying to hand over our baggage, with barely time to get some nibbles before the boarding call came.

Such a sweet image, but of course once I got home to finish it off, there had to be blood and destruction - wine-glass-shattering music can have that effect, even if they are plastic, from Silver Crow Creations

So why on earth didn't I grab another flight across the channel to visit Sari while I was "in the area"???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ohh, why indeed!!!??? That would have been totally, absolutely brilliant!

Anne would have been very welcome to my humble hut.

So Anne made a Opera art piece, and the culture off arts

continues with music:

Sentiment from Visible Image stamp set and the skull

from La Scraposphére's range.

---------------------

So what has the summer heat made you create?

Let us see!

Looks like froggy there----->

needs just few more links and these

goodies are of to someone among entries 21-40.

Man cries his grief

I saw this poem, made by Lauri Pohjanpää,

poem is called "Metsän puhelu"

 (Forest Talk says the Google translator)

Very touching poem and I used part of it

for my ATCoins with Gecko Galz images.

Translation (using Google) is about this:

Old bird that have seen the world,

slowly sang from it's branch:

Be quiet, silence, when a man cries,

man cries his  grief,

they have been bad to him.

Translation is far from perfect but maybe you'll

get the idea...

------------------------

It looks like after 7 more entries is time to mail

some goodies:

So do link your art there ------>>>>

and let us see your creations.

Calamity upon Calamity.

Measles rampant world-wide, weather becoming far more erratic, polar bears (and other species) heading for extinction, Space Junk pollution above our skies...Oh, and Winter is heading my way! How can so much fit onto one little ATC coin???

P.S. Even the company that created these stamps - Third Coast/Stone Stamps - is extinct already!

So winter is coming to Anne's and summer for me

- all thought the temperature might be nearly the same.

I was playing with the Indigo Blue Batty stamp

and watercolors, also using The Blank Page Muse stamps: here and here.

At the moment, it looks like our froggy (there ->>>)

 need only nine more

entries and then is time for a prize:

How cool is that? So do link up, we love to see your art.
