I recently was almost gifted with some old photoes, and some empty photo albums-
and was inspired to make this linen and lace collage ,as I also last week
found a little bag with those wonderful old lace pinns, some of which as you can see ,
still have thread rolled on.
The photo was a big one, that I cut down, to fit the frame.
I added the linnen thread, and old laces, and embroideries.
I think the bow is somehow not nice here, and that it should have been white, and softer,
so maybe I will change it - I love this old tulip embroidery,with the laces ,such a beautiful work.
This photo I took yesterday evening, from my bedroom window,which is looking out
over the Baltic Sea.The sun was settling and the light was so beautiful.
You can see the start of my Lillac hedge ,that at last have started blooming and
smelling heavenly.
I want to welcome and thankyou all the new followers, it makes me happy, that you enjoy
visiting and sometimes commenting ,here on my blog.
And then I wish you all a beautiful friday and week-end,
I hope it will be filled with joy and happiness.
HUGS AND LOVE

Hi Sweetie,
Your cover is a fest for my eyes.
So so beautiful vintage style. I love this so much.
Have a sunny weekend my dear friend. Here in Germany shines the sun. This made me happy. ;)
A beautiful Linen and Lace collage Dear Dorthe! Some very special pieces have been given to creating such a treasured piece. The embroidered linen and old laces with that framed woman all go perfectly together set off so perfectly with the lace pins and thread.
The setting sun shining through those trees of the water is as special as you dear friend.
Sending my love and big hugs,
Suzy
You have created such a beautiful collage. The composition is perfect, even the tan bow. I also enjoy your lilac hedge. Lilacs are one of my favorite flowers. Beautiful view.
BEAUTIFUL! All the wonderful elements you have used come together perfectly. It really is a gorgeous collage and will look fabulous in your studio.
your book cover is great ...nice idea to use the lace pin ...and what a gift to wake up with such a vieuw ...
What a beautiful piece, Dorthe!
Your view is incredible. It must be so wonderful to see the Baltic every day.

Really lovely, Dorthe!
You have a beautiful weekend, too.
Beautiful, the collage and the sea. I find collages difficult, struggling with composition, you do it wonderfully.

I love your collage very much! I think the bow is perfect as is because it balances out the piece. You instinctively did the right thing...no second guessing :)
Dorthe,
Your art work is so beautiful! I love the lace bobbins you added, so special.
How wonderful to have a view overlooking the sea, it is stunning. I can't imagine getting to enjoy that view everyday and what wonderful strolls you must take along its edge.
Красив нежен и изпълнен със спокойствие колаж. Поздрави и хубав уикенд Дороти.
I just love the scent of Lilac, simply delicious.
Your collage is so soft and pretty,a real delight.
Enjoy your weekend,
Hugs and smiles,

What a lovely piece, Dorthe! So many beautiful little goodies!
Dear Dorthe so beautiful your new collage is, great idea with the old lace pinns, sov godt søde vi snakkes ved i morgen.
Hugs Anni
Å, så nydelig Dorthe. Så utrolig flink du er. Den utsikten fra soverommet ditt, er jeg litt misunnelig på. Fantastisk flott. Jeg er så glad i havet, men vi bor for langt unna, desverre.
God klem fra meg
Dear Dorthe,
Your collage is so very special and beautifful. Love the color. The soft white lace match perfectly with the lace pins. Really like that cpmbination.
The view out of your window over the sea is spectacular.
Have a nice warm weekend
Yvonne
Dearest Dorthe, your collage is just beautiful! I love the lace pins with the thread still attached-so lovely. And the embroidered tulip and lacie goodness...it is so pretty. And your view...what could be better than the sea and fragrant lilacs?
Have a pleasant weekend dear friend.
Love and hugs,
sonya
Dorthe your latest collage is gorgeous. Those lace bobbins are fabulous...complete with thread. I am swooning. I made a special trip to the store today just to buy a clipboard and they had none. None! How can a girl make what she has in her mind without a clipboard as the foundation?!! Your view out your window is blissful. Wonderful weekend dear...
Beautiful!!!! Both the book & the photo of the Baltic Sea & your hedge. I love the way you used all those amazing textiles in your book. When I was out in California I bought a wonderful old Photo Album. The spine is broken, some picutres are missing, but, I want to make another book like I did in Lisa's Class at Paper Cowgirls & do beautiful lace work like you did here. Thanks for sharing & have a wonderful weekend.
Charlene
Dear Dorthe, this new piece is so beautiful to me!!!! I love it all...love the elements...and love what you chose as your foundation. Love your artwork so dear friend, and your view???? Unbelievably magical!!! My husband and I just sat her and admired it :) hugs and love, Dawn
Hi Dorthe, What a fantastic collage, so gorgeous. I love the addition of those lace bobbins, the image is so beautiful. I found your fabulous blog through Lynne at (Adorn.)xx

Dorthe- your newest collage is just beautiful. I love your use of vintage lace in the design. Every collage you create is so very unique!
I can't imagine living in a place where I'd have your view everyday. And the evening sun on your lilac is simply stunning.
Vicki
I am so envious of that view you have. The collage is wonderful you always have such a good eye for adding the lace. Have a good weekend and enjoy your view!

First of all, your view is amazing. You took a fabulous photo of the sea.
Second, your collage is so gorgeous. Laces and old photos go together, don't they? xo Rhonda
Your book cover is beautifully designed, dear Dorthe! I see that this is done with much love.
You have a beautiful view from your bedroom window. I want that too :-)
The first time I've seen the Baltic Sea is two years ago, when I visit Sandy. Very nice area and very different than in southern Germany.
Have a nice rest of the weekend.

Hvor er det kreativt og SMUKT, Dorthe!
Det er fortryllende sager du frembringer!
Jeg har arvet nogle ældre (ca. 1880) gamle beklædnings genstande.
Måske du kan bruge dem til noget kreativt?
Skriv gerne til overskudsdeling@gmail.com så kan jeg sende dig dem, hvis du vil have dem at "lege" med.
KH Dorthe
Oh I can almost smell your lovely Lilacs from here dear Dorthe!
