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.

All you need is love

Yay, it's February already and

in norther side of the globe, 

we are getting more daylight and energy.

February brings the Valentine's day,

and I thought I'd share here a DT pieces

I made for a SheepSki Designs 

All you need is love -challenge,

which starts today.

I made 2 ATC using Eternal Love image,

with Gecko Galz digital papers and acetate on top.

On First one I embossed the acetate 

and on second one I stamped.

Do link up you art to our permanent link,

we'd love to come and see and

when there is 20 entries, someone will be having

this cool stamp:

Happy Holidays and lots of Happiness for Year 2019!

Happy Holidays to all,

from all of us here in DiD!

We have had a cold freezing

days and snow is coming more and more

and more.... and will be coming the

next 4 months I believe.

So made a few ATCoins for the theme.

Using images from Gecko Galz Snow Queens Collage Set.

And we also wish you

Hope you'll find the time to play with us all year long, :)

(and still time to enter our December challenge HERE)

Are you on the map??

What a wonderful, awesome, brilliant

happy mail I got from over seas..

Just HAD to get inking right away.

These ATCoins backs are absolutely perfect,

and these guys are very cool indeed (and they came

in two sizes).

so stamps are available at Blank Page Muse

and the background paper and sentiments 

are from Gecko Galz.

Wanna have these great red rubber stamps from Blank Page Muse? 

There's a change to WIN,

Steampunk ladies

Hi there, first week of the June has gone

... time does fly by ...

one can only hope to be able to do as much as 

one wants ... 

I made these ATC's using Gecko Galz ATC papers and

images and added little pits and pops ... and

embossed steampunk definition is made with

Blank Page Muse Stamp

Thank you all who entered last months challenge.

There were just a few, but we loved to come and see

your art, so thank you for the inspiration and

for playing with us, :)

Ten twinchies

I saw that Gecko Galz has a "twinchies" challenge

at their FB page - don't remember ever doing ones,

so of course I took the challenge and this is the result.

Not one but ten twinchies

Using Gecko Galz "Wonderful Watercolors" ATC collection.

Dark Handsome Stranger from LeighSBDesigns.

And Tim Holtz "Small talk" stickers.

... hmmmm I think these twinchies are going to be cards ...

Let us see your spring art, please link HERE

Wild Dreamers

I like silhouettes, beautiful and dramatic at

the same time ... Here's couple ATC's I made

using Gecko Galz papers and silhouette image

from Designs By Sheyla.

Colored with Copics, and for upper one I used some

Rub-Ons.

Now let us see what's you've been up to:

March 1 - New Month New Playtime!

Valentines - think pink, hearts, red roses, glitter... 

Think of the Commercial Pressure to buy and send someone a Valentine.

With February 14 well out of the way, 

the rest of the year we can be more genuine in expressing our affections.  

So, Dear Reader, We Love You, 

and wish you will remain our friends in The Dark Side of our HeArts

Pink... wicked Little Grumpie Cupid.  Hearts yep.  

Red roses - one, anyway, between the skull's teeth.  

Glitter... black floral glitter!  

And I thought I'd better "up-value" the 20 cent stamp 

on the previous post's envelope.

"Sentiment" by Leigh SB Designs

Cranial Caress from Delicious Doodles

Spellbinder scalloped hearts dies.

***

Well, well, speaking of a shadows,

I hope there is no one like this lurking:

Creepy, ehh? Clown from the Ike's Art and the background from the

Gecko Galz colored with Copics and black DI.
