When going to a party

Click image to enlarge!

To choose a hat.

This is a composite from three of my photos:

The roses I once got as a birthday gift.

My hat I bought in a desert in Arizona.

The dolls hat is a the Shaggy ink cap mushroom. It is a messy one but soo fun to photograph.

I have used it many times in artwork.

It was quite fun to create!

😏

Hapiness is to choose the right one. For OMM

Embossed and flowers

Click image to enlarge!

My two almanacks for may 2023 are finished and now on my walls.

For this month I used butterfly and flower stickers/cutouts that I glued onto the empty space of the almanacs. They are also painted by me.

Tea and coffee time.

Just realised I missspelled tea. In Sweden we say only "te".

I have shared this before but it is certainly Embossed and has a dry flower in it. .

😉😅

So these goes for TADD and AJJ Embossed as well.

We ahve finally Spring and the sun is shining. I will take a long, nice walk soon.

Wish you all a great day.

Just a bad day

Click image to enlarge!

Just a bad day, not a bad life!

The vase is a local paper that comes once a month. I spread some acrylic colors on it and some painted flowers. The oval image of a flower was painted a year ago. The black note I found on Pinterest.

When twisted, drink a cup of coffe or tea

Click image to enlarge!

Lost? Twisted?

Some of my art and travel memories outlayed on black paper. And photographed.

The words and yin-yang tree added digitally.

The two white things are reed-roots from a trip to Iceland many years ago.

Tee and coffee time!

Here I first painted the watercolor paper. When it was dry I drpped coffee and tea on it.

Added the wet toiletpaper and gave it a darker color.

Put a plastic wet sheet over it to flatten it and let it dry.

In this case no glue is used, the wet toilet paper sticks nicely to the watercolor paper.

A very colorful TWIST of a moss!

😎

Most of the thing added today are both reused, twisted and even have quotes.

Three birds in one stone! (to ad another quote! 😇)

Library and face

Click image to enlarge!

Look!

For AJJ, recycle-reuse-repurpose, and TADD library

Two books in my library and I used them many times before.

Well, me on a scallop!

Painted and added sand on the scallop around my photo.

You can recognize the photo from my header. So, this one too, is reused.

Deer in the skatepark

Male of the Fallow deer species for OMM and CCC

He is lost as the females are running away.

Both images are digital work from my own photos.

I have used them in artwork several times before so they are both recycled and reused for AJJ.
