The stripes glued on is made for gardenwork. Worked on paper too.

That will do for today. It is raining and I have a few things to do today. Some idiot stole my lock to the storage room in the basement. They stole the lock, and someone is apparently moving as my packing boxes are gone. I just don´t understand people! 😠

Tag Tuesday Book paper

Click image to enlarge!

Using Book paper!

The book paper is from a tourist guide. I will not go to Spain anymore I think so I cut a page in it.

Yesterday I got the idea of puting the tag on my dried flowers. So, I created an arrangement on a paper plate I used during painting. Just to make use of things.

Pop art, nature and fashion

Click image to enlarge!

Pop art for TAD

Watercolor paper A4 stickers, stamps and skeches using some old schablons from when I worked on a design office at Scania heavy trucks!

Nature at work!

A4 watercolor paper adn stickers.

Hat fashion!

Photo work! The doll is mine and I created her outfit a few years ago. The hat is a photo of a Ink cap mushroom I photographed a week ago. You can say it is a "follow up" of a serie I created 4 years ago.

"Girl in Ink cap skirt"

I made a sketch of the Eurasian hoopoe, hopefully I can paint it untill next week. But my sister is sick, not C, her stomack is not well, so I am on "standby" to help her when needed.

The hoopoe is quite common in central Europe. I have seen it flying but have no photos of it. This schetch was created from a photo online. Strangely it was my sister who indicated the bird. And she is no birder at all but she is visiting my IG. So, I thought I give it a try.

Some Minimal others not

Click image to enlarge!

Leaf!

Minimalism för TAD this week. My photo altered in PS.

Circles!

This is the next step of a paper art background I made last week. The same as for the image below!

The butterflies are plastic cut outs.

Tempera and stickers on A4 watercolor paper.

.......Painting!

Coffee Monkey, Thinking

I was pooring coffe on a A4 watercolor paper and named it The path. Then I happend to turn it 90 deg and it was a monkey! So, coffee monkey it is!

😁

TagTiles!

I made this as a TAG. The leaf is glued to the paper but the tiles are just placed and photographed. Tiles are too heavy to glue on something. Then created a new background in PS.

And, used the leaf for Rains promt. The top image! 😁

Tile Tag Recycle and re-use

Click image to enlarge!

Tile Tag!

This is kind of heavy. There is a place in the forest where there are a lot of crashed tiles. I brought home some of them to paint on. Now they do their job on a Tag. Unusual and not very useful, but I hope you like it!

😁

Art the end of August

Click image to enlarge!

Masked!

My version of TAD:s theme this week. Expressionism! Photoart using two of my photos.

The ocean!

This is what came out of the experiment last week. I started with putting Heavy gel medium here and there in the water part to create texture. Then glued some pieces of lava rock to create rocky islets. Painted with only blue and white tempera color on A4 watercolor paper.

Opposites!

I named this Opposites as, when it dried, I saw water and fire! Waves and flames!

This is Tempera color and glitter on A3 watercolor paper.

Bird!

I thought I should try birds a little more so I started with one I thought would be easy. I was wrong. I have a lot to figure out! The original is a card I recieved from my granddaughter who studied in Australia for a year. The card is made as "paper filigram", it is stunning! Not sure what species it is.

Two images from the past post.

Volcano hummingbird!

Photowork using two images from my trip to Costa Rica many years ago.

Look, a butterfly!

An oldie I created many years ago. Photoshop.
