Friday Catch Up - 28th March 2025

Inktense blocks and Pencils on fabric. I tried using hand sanitizer gel to stop the paint running. It kind of worked but left marks where I'd put it, perhaps I should put it all over.



I had another go at the grand children, it is a bit better but not great. Elliot's blue tongue is from an ice lolly.
This is the same one as last week but I've put in a background

Gelli Print Book [double page spreads]
The face is from a magazine
The big owl is a gelli print, the small owl a paper cut.
The bird is a paper cut
The robin is a layer of paper napkin
I was trying different types of pen, wax crayon etc to gelli print.
The bird is a cut out

Painted on fabric with Inktense blocks and pencils.

Doodlewash Art Challenge

This one is of my Granddaughter which I'm not totally happy with. I did one of my other two Grandkids together but that was totally unsuccessful. I prefer doing old wrinkly people.

More from the Gelli Print Book
I also used a few cut outs [my designs], cut on my KNK Zing cutting machine
Cut out bird, collaged house
I cut the rabbits from an old calendar, they are hard to see
Mainly printed using textured wallpaper to make the patterns
The creature is a drawing of a doll I saw on Pinterest

Endre Church, Visby Sweden

Endre Church is one of the 92 medieval churches on the island of Gotland and was built in the 12th century

The frescos inside the church were made by the artist known as the Master of the Passion of Christ in the middle of the 15th century. The frescos were uncovered during a renovation in 1915.
The top of the Baptismal font possibly from the 12th century
Also at Visby, Sweden is the Gotland Heritage Railway
I've been visiting Dundee, Sweden and Denmark while on a cruise, the ship was docked at Visby, Sweden for this pic.
Next stop will be Stockholm



More from Stockholm next time.
Have a fun week!

Fairy House
I'd been looking at fairy houses on Pinterest made of clay so I thought I would have a go. I used DAS modelling clay which hardens without cooking.



This is a digital collage I made from my photos

A couple of altered gelli prints with the addition of a photo

Osterlars Church, Bornholm, Denmark. This round church looks very interesting from the outside, unfortunately we couldn't go inside because of a wedding.





I should have included this one last week from
Christiansborg Palace, Copenhagen, Denmark


Stockholm, Sweden

Have a great week, see you in two.
