The Magic Money Tree and the Gold Rush.



 Thank you for all the great themes…it’s been fun…

I did two collages as I was going to do the gold one and couldn’t find any gold..then I went  downstairs for afternoon tea and there was the gold foil coloured biscuit….it had to be done.

THEME: Money Money Money

I have had a great time the last two months, picking themes I hope you enjoyed as much as I enjoyed seeing what you all created. I am ending my turn with a challenge we've had before, can't remember how recent, but is always fun.

water-water-everywhere: Water Somewhere?

Including a mixed media collage style I experimented with in my art evening class this week.

(I was inspired by one of the landscape photos supplied by the lecturer but not sure of the location.)

Water, water everywhere and Wait! a Hammerhead as well!!


I found a delightful 1929 advert in a vintage magazine for Bradley woolen knitwear, the kind bathers used to wear. I cut the gal on the gents right hand off the image (she would have been half a woman based on the original ad placement LOL) and found a nice beach scene. But then what? Do you know how menacing a hammerhead shark is? From a bit on the internet: Hammerheads are often found in shallow coastal waters and are shy and not considered aggressive toward people. There you go! Or there they go!!
