I hope everyone is fine and fit to celebrate a New Year which we all hope will see the end of Covid.
Take care, we are not out of the woods yet!

And be careful with fireworks. It is beautiful but animals, and I, dont like the sound of them.

Xmas is coming

Click image to enlarge!

A Christmas TAG for Tag Tuesday. Paint and stickers on a tag.

For TAD´s promt "Christmas today" my santa wears a mask. Guess you know why? Photowork and filters.

A CD -world

I made a fluid art on a small CD record. Using tempera colors. The yellow "frame" is only the plastic folie I put below it to capture overflowing colors. But I was careful not to let the color overflow so the yellow tone comes from the lamp.

Autumn background

Tempera/acrylics on A3 watercolorpaper

Autumn leaves!

Dried leaves glued on the above background. I picked the leaves when they had this lace-like look. Flattened them on paper, with a weight on to keep them flat and dried them.

Now I should really need a frame to avoid bending them.

Digtally altered Amaryllis,

Covid has messed up again. Many will have problems with Christmas celebrations.

Myself I already met my family last week so I am fine.

Take care everyone

Message from the past

Click image to enlarge!

Little Ingrid is my grandmother, born 1904.

And this above,is her early christmas greatings.

Last time I met her I asked her to recieve her Postcard files. I had already copied her albums. And she gave it to me. Soon after that she passed away.

Now it is such a nice memory of her.

The photo of her probably from 1920.

💝💖

Snowfall!

Another promt this week is Snowflake for TIOT, so I created a snowfall. Canvas 40x40 cm and stickers.

Alien butterfly world!

Longing for sommer?? Here is one for you.

Painted on A4 paper using Tempera, sawdust and stickers.

Ocean!

Not sure if I am done with this or if it is a "work in progress",

What I was thinking about from the start was "Milky seas, also called mareel"

But I kind of like how this turned out. So, continue or make another is the big question??

Moon and Gingerbread

Click image to enlarge!

This fortnight Tag Tuesday wants us to create something that starts with the first letter in our first name.

Ny first name is Monica, so I choose the Moon. I made the mistake to choose images before I realized it was for a tag, so I added a bow to the first image to make it a Tag.

TagTuesday

This week TAD have gingerbread as promt. I have done some ballon art this week so I took some color and dropped it on the cookie. Then pushed the balloon on it. You see the result below. But, as I used acrylic paint I am NOT going to eat them.

😎

If you want to eat them, use icing suger and food colors.

Paint still wet.

Paint dried on the ginger bread cookie.

Whirling and black

Click image to enlarge!

Rains promt today are Wisps and Winds. This is what I came up with. Hope you like it!

Whirling stringpull!

This was a test to see if this chainpull can be used on photopaper! It worked. A bit different then canvas, but I can do it. A paper can be stored in a file. A canvas can not. It buckled a lot and I also had tejp in the cornes.

😉

For the following three peices I used decorsand I painted black and used as texture.

Black!

All black Tempera on bord 31x22,5cm The light grey is mostly beause of the light. I moved the camera around to get the lit part in the center.

Deer!

Canvas 18x11,5cm. I used a template to place the sand that creates the deers.

Then painted them with gold and silver.

Ocean beach with lavaformations.

Watecolor paper A4, black sand and painted with tempera and acrylic.
