a NOT page for AJJ

In the beginning as I started this page I wanted to use the quote " getting no message is also a message" but here we are - I ended up with the quote " NOT able to speak is NOT the same as NOT having anything to say..."

With this journal page I enter the latest challenge at Art Journal Journey. Theme this month is "birds, beasts and humans".

Wishing you all a nice february!

Lebewesen für AJJ

Another journal page : This time for the September theme at Art Journal Journey .

Lebewesen = living beings

I used a lot of stamps ( reprint, tuscan rose, hero art, prima), some washi tape and acrylics with gesso.

My husband is a true birdlover - he will like this one :-)

Take care out there!

Architecture for Art Journal Journey

Art Journal Journey 's challenge in July is about architecture. I had to dig quit deep in my tresure of stamps to find something suitable... the quote by J W Goethe -" I call architecture frozen music".

Can you spot the beautiful gargoyle?

Lux is hot and sweaty right now - no temperature below 20° - we long for the beach and cool water!!!

But we don't complain - after this long and cold winter, we are NOT allowed to complain...:-)

Wish you all a nice week!

Stars for PanPastel

Late, but not too late!

This is the canvas I've been working on lately and with this, I enter the challenge at Pan Pastel. I tried to build up an almost "fluffy, ice-creamy" background and the stars are, of course(!), Panpastel on modelling paste through  a stencil.

Wish you all avery nice wekkend!

who deserves a crown?

...this is my very first blog post this year!!!
...had forgotten how time pass with the house full of  children, husband, boyfriends and girlfriends!

...and now we are reorganizing our youngest daughters room - I have the feeling like living in IKEA.
Tomorrow the last trip will be over and everything finished... I hope!

This is my entry to Art Journal Journey, where the theme this month is "crowns". Pls, go and check it out if you like art journaling! Great site!

I went a bit crazy creating the background, with all in all , 7 different masks and stencils. I just couldn't stop myself...(hi, hi...)

The stamps are from Tuscan Rose and Heidi Swapp.

And, PLEASE, don't misunderstand me - I LOVE being a mother, but sometimes it is hard with all those feelings involved. The children grow and they have to find their own ways - it is just hard to let them...(?)

I hope you all had a good start of the new year and that it will continue to be good!

Take care out there!

My Africa for AJJ

Africa!

We went to South Africa a couple of years ago - wonderful place!

This spread is about what I remember from that trip. A collage of memories.

Hope you like it!

Stamps from Artemio and tuscan rose. This spread is made for the monthly challenge at Art Journal Journey.

Halloween canvas.

I didn't find anything spooky to decorate my house with, so I had to create it myself.
This canvas took a long time to finish as it had to dry between the layers. It might not be the very best creation, but it'll do for now.

I used stamps from CI, Tuscan rose and death by Klimt, the sizzix tree and raven and a lot of black gesso and acrylics. The photo is from a cemetery at Morro de Sao Paolo in Brazil.

I really enjoyed making this - Halloween may come!

So,  this is my entry to Creavils' Halloween challenge.

Nice to try something completely different!
