Deers lost their forest

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.

Bread and workshop

Click image to enlarge!

Some of the people painting on the long canvas.

Done! We filled it all.

😁

Now is time to take the frames and look for what part you want to bring home.

This is what I took home with me.

The frame in the corner was actually a mistake. I put it on the canvas without thinking it was still wet. So, the frame somehow painted itself. And I like it.

💝

This place is the art workshop for the ArtHall. This room and the Art hall is used for lots of different activities. Apart from the Art Exhitirions there are lots of activities in there. Among the artpieces.

I had seen many workshops for babies. Babies "paitning" with eatable paiting like blueberries and lingon. It is also used for schoolclasses and groups like that.

But there was never any activities for us a bit mature people. So, when ever I could I complained. I know the people in charge since I had exhibitions in the next room called "The Corner".

Now there are much activities for all ages. The one I attended this time will run on wednedays every fortnight until the end of May. So, there will be more times to have fun.

And it is free as it is part of the municipality's cultural activities

The tree

acrylics painted on A4 glitter paper.

And now I am hungry, so some bread for TADD is welcome.

The ham looks like a heart. Well, it was Valetine this week.

And now it is time for a lunch break.

Hm, well, it was FUN too.

Printmaking at Library

Click image to enlarge!

Me and two of my work sewn together with others as a large sheet.

The arrows pointing to my two prints.

The woman in charge, Synnöve, is the one I contact when I want to have an exhitition in the Library. She had a lot of work during this time. Scool classes was invited to create too.

The exhitition called BYGGET started April 2d and ends the coming saturday. The entire exhibition has been a Happening. With many performances. I have even been dancing Tango in there. This was the funniest exibition I have ever seen. Always changing apperance. There are many more printed sheets hanging in the "jack-straws" as we call these pins. A huge one. There are also straws on the balcony. This was a real adventure and I am so happy to be able to be a small part of it!

😍😎

Synnöve and I am printing my last work. Volcano uppdated.!

This was the last of the exhibition on the Arthall in the Library.

Three times there have been an Open Workshop in the exhitition.

We were allowed to create as much as we wanted with the material available. The Volcano and the Yin-Yang was the last I created. They have dried so I have taken them home.

I will show you more of the pieces I created next week.

Until then, I relaxed with some digital artwork. Digitals don´t have to dry. 😁

Mostly birds

Peacock garden

I hope this works as a Journal. It is only the size of A4 paper but I used so many different techniques I can´t even start to explain it.

Swan lake print

This is one of the printed piece from the Open Artshop int he Library last week

Another bird even if it is no journal.

AEDM 2021 day 1-7

Click image to enlarge!

This is a post where I will ad one piece a day day 1-7 of AEDM2021. Welcome!

The road to Sten!

This is a beautiful place I visit now and then looking for deer and birds as well as sunsets.

Today I used both Photoshop and Topaz to create this one.

AEDM day 211107

The last day for this post. Tomorrow I start week two.

Abstract happenings!

This is just a small one, A5 on CARBon black paper. I slipped with the color. I wiggled id around for a bit and let it dry. I recognized the shape in a way, but it took me two days to understand why. You rarely see them on sports event, but I see a handycapped person competing in his/hers racing wheelchair.

That was me, what you see is probably a different story.

AEDM day 211106

Hummingbird! 2

This is painted with a template. I used tempera color on A4 CARBon paper. Added a sticker as moon and, for the shot, placed a silvery chain around it. And took a photo.

AEDM day 211105

Closed!

Tag Tuesday this week is about "Windows, doors and arches"

This was quite tricky, but fun, to create. It is a combination of painting the tag and adding it to a photo of a church ruin. The tag is a doortag I have, a yellow one, but I can paint on it. It is actually two tags. The one painted as a doorway and the little "closed" one.

AEDM day 211104

Hummingbird!

This is painted with a template. I used tempera color on A4 CARBon paper. Added a sticker as moon and, for the shot, placed a silvery lace I have. And took a photo.

Crossing and windy mosaic

Click image to enlarge!

Hallo everyone. Hope everything is fine with you. Over here it is hot and humid and I am not a fan of that. Speaking of fan, I created a fan on placemats for Rains promt CrissCross today.

Fanned placemats

These are made of venners sewn together to form a placemat. The fan is also made of veneers so they really fit together. Created by my photos in Photoshop.

Had some fun with different things this week.

Top row is a veneer plate with some mapleseed and painting on it.

The butterfly also ahve some seeds. Painted and glued on photopaper

The unicorn is painted on CARBon black A4 paper. Acryl, pencil and stencil

My tag no2 is also created with seeds and an old bookmark angel I have.

Windy!

Full action on a field and something has a hard time flying

Cupcake and bubble wrap

Click image to enlarge!

For Black and white, the last three images!

My favorite Cupcake

for Rains TAD

Chockolate solidier!

Brown Akleja on my balcony

My shell collection on acrylic painted background called Pool!

Peacocks at the Pool!

Die cuts on acrylic painted paper

Stamped!

I found my old stamp with my name, so after testing the bubble wrap I stamped my name on it. and added some small things. This is black CarbOn paper, A4, and as I thought the pattern looked a bit like mountains I came up with the one below.

Deers in the night!

Finally for Mosaic Monday:

Bubble wrapped deer

Working with the deer abow I put the stencil over the bubble wrap. And liked it so I took some shots and created the Mosaic.

And that is the final work for today!

Space

Click image to enlarge!

Space, not too far away is Saturn. Painted on a scallop with tempera.

Space! Two colliding galaxies

Photowork.

Orange background painted with GESSO and acrylic color on a photopaper A4. I tried to cover the paper with gesso before coloring it. It was quite cool as it created the curves and features of the spatula I used to spread it out. I let it be uneaven. Then let it dry before coloring several layers. Took quite some time to finish as every layer has to dry before adding the next one. I was planning to paint some flowers on it but change my mind.

Instead of painting I search my files for Akleja-Columbine. I used an old BW image I have.

Akleja!

And this is the final result. Paint and photo combined in PS.

My world can´t decide weather it is winter or spring. And we have a storm coming so I´d rather stay indoors today.
