be afraid… be very afraid…

when on oct 31th the movie ravenclaw will be released -

see the poster announcement here. 

on the swedish national day on june 6th i was in stockholm this year and photographed these balloons in the swedish colors…

background: tinted ledger; brushes selfmade; “post card” layer: shadowhouse creations

it is obvious: the month of halloween has begun…

the manuscript for this piece is a piece of old ledger, which i dyed and added splashes of red color.

i scanned it, added a silhouette photo (internet), text (font: blood of dracula) and selfmade brushes.

die motivwahl für meine küchenglaswand steht noch aus. war ich mir aufgrund der einzelfotos zwischendurch sicher, die distelsamen zu bevorzugen, finde ich jetzt doch die bärenklaufotos wieder interessanter…

jetzt hab ich einfach mal die wand fotografiert und so in etwa grob mittels fotobearbeitung die bilder eingefügt… sind die disteln nicht zu langweilig? …  werden es doch die bärenklau-fotos werden? …

“zetti” over the years has emerged from (originally) the stamp line of teesha moore´s “zettiology” company to the style teesha created with these and her collages: quirky, whimsical, FUN, often black & white contrasting bright colors… 

here i used a zetti flame stamp at the bottom of this atc, the buttercup cow is from a napkin. background old ledger, tinted, stenciled, stamped.

i feel so honored to be the guest host for this week´s take-a-word challenge.

“numbers” is one of my favorite themes…

the background is a paper from scrapbookgraphics (tangie conversed), which i changed into red.

the texture on top is from shadowhouse creations.

though we are having the hottest days of the year, the first signs of autumn are evident: fog in the night, the garden full of spiders… i applied some tattered textures from shadowhouse creations and the new dream-it from kim klassen. the spider web is sitting in my wine plant…

 august will be a month with a ”blue moon“…

background: self dyed ledger paper

moon graphic scanned from an old calendar

mushroom from an old postcard

tape from deviantscrap (holliewood)

scribble brush from kim klassen, as well as the textures wonderful magic (in blending mode lighten) and elevate (b.m. divide)

“blackbird” (beatles song > take a word challenge) – brought to my mind because our tomcat caught 2 young blackbirds recently. i hate it when he does this, but well, that´s nature…

for TT this week we can take any photo we made – this time i took two textures from flickr, one for the blue effect and one for the frame. font: second breakfast.

found this bug in my garden and added some brushes…

fitting the take-a-word challenge this week
