a bunch of (collage-)ATCs
Hi everyone,
I've been away for a frew days, for the Easter holidays, and I tried not to take too much art stuff with me - haha. Of course I only had the chance and time to use some bits and pieces and so I made a couple ATCs:

annnnd ... the next spread
based on a wonderful tutorial by Susanne Rose:
This is my entry for the challenge 'Mixed Media Monthly - what's your superpower?'
What I consider my 'superpower' in real life is silent observation. It's an indefinite source of learning and getting to know people. You can learn and experience so much and so many things if you observe and listen. And people tend to tell/reveal many interesting things and thoughts ...
Again, I used different Decoart products:
gesso, modeling paste, matte medium, americana acrylics tradidtions blue green light,
aquamarine, fluid acrylics quin gold
Thanks for stopping by and having a look.

Journal Page
Today I'm sharing a page I did yesterday.
That I would use pink (waaaay out of my comfort zone) and grey was the only thing I knew when I started.
This is what it became in the end
Ingedients involved:
Palette knife, acrylic paints, DIY and other stencils, one handcarved stamp and one from the fabulous Master Andy Skinner, Stabilo all marking pencil, a google search for quotes on women, Derwent graphik line painters black and white and wonky handwriting :-)
It reads
Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.
(by Virginia Woolf)

a few ATCs
Hi all,
I don't get around to doing much so I love ATCs e.g. I made a few these days, inspired by but not strictly following Seth Apter's Collage principles.
I'm so much in love with Seth's work and techniques, it's great and very inspiring to watch his instructions. I highly recommend them :-D
Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look. I hope you are all well.

Gelli print stickers
Hi all,
recently I dug up my gelli printing plate(s) and did a bit of playing around with them - and a few acrylic paints; sheets intended to be backgrounds, mostly. I just loved some too much to not keep them in any way so they were printed onto adhesive a4 labels and I used punches to get small shapes.
I don't have many punches so it's circles and squares mainly. I also used the big shot and circle dies in different seizes.
You can use the shapes to add to art journal pages for example
or you can even use up the remains to start new ones
Of course you can also use the shapes in any other way you can possibly think of :-)
Thanks for stopping by and having a look.
On a personal note: I won't apologise any more for being absent for long times now and again, it's just the way it is and it's the way I am. I just want you to know I'm still here and I don't want to seem rude in any way.
Hugs to all of you

canvas and canvas board
Hi all ...
A few of you probably know I'm kind of obsessed with backgrounds. Obsessed, because I don't seem to get them done to my satisfaction, no matter how many tutorials I'm watching.
This time I dabbled with a canvas and a canvas board. The board was a gift for my son who really loves it - or so he says :-) the canvas is just for practising. I have to say the backgrounds surprisingly turned out better than I hoped for - although, to my greatest astonishment, a bit of ... ahem ... *shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht* pink-ish showed up ...
