THEME: Free for All

 This is going to be a very busy week for me and I think I don't want to think too much. (Insert Smile Face)

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS






I had a left over image from the Libby Hall challenge and created this!

P.S. I tried to delete my original posted image (which was of poor quality) but Blogger would not let me delete. So I rendered it teeny tiny and then reposted a good scan of the collage.

THEME: They Might Be Giants

 Not sure if we have had this theme before -- it's a pretty big one! It's all about:

GIANTS

Have fun.

THEME: ALLERGIC REACTION

Today I am experiencing an "allergic reaction" to a sunscreen that I have been using for a long time. (Rash, swelling, itch.) Obviously going to discontinue.

That is one symptom of an allergy. But there are many others. And many that we can create (wink wink).

Have fun portraying an ALLERGIC REACTION.

Homage To Libby Hall - Doggalganger

From the archives. This could have been one for the last theme too! Sorry not had time to do any collaging this week what with all the gadding about and socialising. Our old friend Linda came to stay three days first of all. She has a free bus pass being over 60 so took the opportunity to get the bus from Dollegua? in North Wales all the way to Wrexham on the Welsh border. And then a bus from Wrexham to Chester where we picked her up just outside the museum. This took 4 hours! Anyway, so after we waved her goodbye on the following Sunday we had a surprise phone call from some other friends from Guernsey who were over to see their relatives in Lancashire and wondered if they could drop by for a chat and some food. So after an hour they turned up in their massive UHT ( Oh no thats milk?! HTV? ) a huge campervan thing more like a small coach! They stopped a couple of hours and the following day came over again for a lovely day out at Tatton Park where they have a walled garden and other delights. We are wondering who will turn up next?

Hommage To Libby Hall - Old Lady And Her Dogs

From the archives.

HOMAGE to LIBBY HALL: On our mantel


 I have been making these for years. I added the floral background and the Brussels Griffon next to the lovely lady who I found in a book of vintage portraits of people.

This one is from the archives and sits on our mantel.

THEME: HOMAGE TO LIBBY HALL...A portrait with a canine friend

https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/07/11/so-long-libby-hall/

Read about Libby Hall (1941-2023). I own a couple of Libby's books and Libby actually liked some of my "found" photographs of people posing with their pets that I posted on Flickr. (I also seem to remember, perhaps twenty years ago, that Libby purchased a photo I posted to eBay of a girl and her dog.) 

At any rate, time to create a portrait of a happy dog and its owner, in memory of Libby Hall.

Here is one of Libby's found photos:
