Flower Power

My interpretation of flower power is Hildegard von Bingen. She was ahead of her time and knew so much about the power of flowers and plants! Revealing true flower power - she made it into my journal for this months theme of the Art Journal Journey.

I hope you all enjoy it.
At the same time I started a flower power painting, which isn't finished yet. As soon as it is done I will add it to this post!
Thanks for dropping by!

Sailboats

Hello,

the theme of the Mix it Monthly Challenge for July is Sailboats and here is my creation:

Material: water color, wall paint, oil pastels and black / white markers.

Summer of Color - Week Four

Pink & Apple Green

with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Dark Green

Artist Trading Cards

I got ask to trade some cards on flickr the other day, but I have to admit, I didn't have any, nor it I really know what it is all about! So I did my homework and read up on ACT on the internet. Sounds like fun, I thought! And then I got creative!

My first set of ATCs:

The Owl Family

And since this months ART JOURNAL JOURNEY theme is 

FLOWER POWER

I drew a little flower power owl.

Hope you all enjoy it!

And there will be more sets of ATCs to come!

Houses....

Houses or Homes
is the theme of the Art Journal Journey and Mix it Monthly in June.....even though I have more time than usual at the moment, I haven't been too creative these days :(

...but somehow connected is my series of butterflies that I am doing for my house....the guest room to be precise!

If you like my butterflies take a look at one of my older posts too ;)

More soon!

Hello my dear friends....

even though teal is my favorite color I found it hard to think of something to draw - until then yesterday when we went to the Rosegarden Rosenhöhe in Darmstadt!

This weeks colors are:

Coral & Teal 

with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Bright White

I did use white, but it is hard to see :)

Here is the photo I worked from and some more impressions from Darmstadts lovely Rosegaren Rosenhöhe:

Have a nice weekend!
