Theme ; Challenge The Three Muses / NEWSPAPER


Pop Art inspired with newspaper pieces.
I followed the first part of THIS tutorial again to receive a dots-effect
and then I gave it my own twist.

I tried to credit the textures which I downloaded a long time but both sites no longer exist. Brush HERE torn Paper-pieces HERE and most of the NEWSpapers came from the Dutch Royal Library newspaper archive

Theme ; Challenge Take A Word / TIME



Time slips through your hands takings prescious things and people with it,
if only we had the power to hold tightly enough!
*****************
I have tried to create a perfect melting clock but it was so difficult to achive.
(Need more practice, patience and TIME :-)

Beside the antique market in The Hague (Lange Voorhout) is Tongeren the place to be where I buy my postcards !
And hip hip, I succeeded again !

CHAOS ON MY WORK-DESK !!!

I can add 64 NEW vintage postcards to my collection

Theme ; Challenge TheThreeMuses / WINDOWS

I created my own fantasy view through a window and wished
I could wake up every morning like this :)
Peacefully ! And not as now, by the annoying cooing of doves !
However, gulls (used one in the picture) also scream a lot.
Grrmpfff

YES...I do like birds...at least, some :-)
Especially those who don't poop when I relax in my garden. LOL

Theme ; Challenge TakeAWord / FACES
I'm a bit early with this post....


As many of you know I'm a member of The Digital Whisper and besides the challenge groups TakeAWord and TheThreeMuses,
is the D.W. a place where I also feel at home.
This week you can read a interview with Bernice Wagnitz overthere !
Bernice is an amazing artist with a very unique style ( Click HERE or HERE ) and because I was inspired by her art I've made this piece today.
Ofcourse with my own twist and I hope you like it :)

but I bet my decibels are as loud as Janis' :)
Another song of her which get me out of my sphere is
"PIECE OF MY HEART" ♫ Oh Come on Come on Come on TAKE IT ! ♫
