Lately I bought some new materials, to play with, -among them something called Inka gold,
some Distress Acrylic Paint dappers from T.H. and something called Terra..a
gel like medium super cool to use with the stencils!
I used a very loved Paper Whimsy image- and some Tim Holz dies I borrowed from my dear friend Bettina- the flowers and the gear--also added an old watch wheel!
Here you can see the wonderful effect created with the Terra and a stencil!
I sewed with gold thread around the sweet girl, and added the Inka gold to the
stenciled parts! Please Click the photoes for bigger pictures!!
Yesterday I attended the first bigger fleamarket here this year! And I was very'
very pleased with my finds!!!
Look here at all the wonderful old wooden pieces- I love such things!
A close up of some of them! and two silver salt/pheffer shakers.
An old bowl- very tarnished -with a smaller inside... I love when
they look old and used!
I also found some beautiful lace pieces -
two table cloths with lovely embroidered flowers,-an old box-some
pearls and zinc key holes..
Isen`t those old handmade laces amazing!!
Brought home a roll of wall paper ,too- it will look beautiful in collages,
with it`s satin finish!!
And the last thing I will show is an old box- normally used to store
the silk stockings from dayes gone by----but here used to fill older
sewing notions inside!!
I love to open up such a treasure box!!
*************************
What have you experiensed and created this weekend- my
treasured friends??? I would love to know!!
What ever it is, I hope you have had-and have a beautiful sunday!!
Here it has been grey and rainy since yesterday evening- and
I`m very pleased with that, as our garden was so very dried up!!
I hope you are all having some happy hours and sends you
warm hugs, and love.

Hello dear Dorthe,
It has been stormy here too. But I love it! As long as it is not hot I am happy.
Oooooh, what a fine collage! I love it! This new product you found is interesting. You have used it to create quite a wonderful texture! I did click on the images to see closer. What a lovely collage!
And your new flea finds are fab! I have loved wooden things all my life. Your new goodies make my heart sing too! And your new bowl is gorgeous. I love all your new laces, wow, you really were lucky to find them! They are beautiful!
Yay for you! Lots of new things to get inspired about!
This weekend I have done some more work in preparations for My Garden Tea blog hop....I began painting two chairs and a table. All found very cheaply. Yay! I will share soon.
I hope you are well. I am glad you are getting the rain your garden needs.
Hugs,
Terri
What a wonderful hanging - so glad you've found the Terra - I think it's so cool to use, and it certainly looks great here1 The stitching on the image is a lovely touch, and that rusty wire hanging the whole thing up is brilliant. Love your Fleamarket Finds too... lots of lovely treasure!!

Wonderful flea market finds Dorthe...love your collage!
Dorthe your beautiful collage piece is out of this world!! I love the warm colour tones you have used and that texture with the inka gold looks so beautiful! The sweet little Paperwhimsey girl finishes it off just beautifully!
And what an amazing flea market that must have been!!! Oh I love those wood and metal pieces and that beautiful vintage lace!!! I can just imagine how they will enhance your beautiful fabric pieces!!
Happy Whitsunday and I hope you will have a very creative week next!!

Gorgeous collage dear, I love those warm colours. Beautiful flower and image. And the treasures you find... great finds!

Wishing you a wonderful week and sending hugs from Holland. Wendy
Liebe, liebe Freundin Dorthe! 🌸💕💜
Please let me say first my very big thank to you, for your sweet and lovely comments of my Blog! It means so muc for me and it is alway sich a great Joy to read your words, dear friend.
But now, let me say, your Art is looking so schön und verträumt. The colors, you used are so amazing. Ich liebe diesen roten Farbton! He gives a promise for more, espescially more dreams, dreams for girls and woman, in their own space and retreat. Ich meine den Rückzug zu uns .... Besonders gefallen mir die kleinen, liebevollen Details, z.b. der goldene Rand/Rahmen um das Gesicht auf dem Foto. Es sind diese Dinge, die Deine Kunst so besonders machen, einfach wunderschön!
Deine Flohmarktschätze sind also so fine and romantic. I love your Wonderful bowl, the laces and The Tischdecken.
Hier ist es recht ruhig, weil es viel regnet. Wir sehen Filme, arbeiten ein wenig und zupfen "Unkraut" in the garden. Like an old couple :) all things are slowly und es ist sehr angenehm. Mal sehen, wie es morgen wird.
Ich sende Dir viele liebe Grüße und Küsse, liebe Dorthe! Auch wünsche ich Dir und Deiner lieben Familie für morgen und die Woche alles Liebe !
Deine Freundin Erika💜💕🌸
Oh, Dorthe - what wonderful treasures...and I ADORE the little collage. The sweet girl looks like a dear friend of mine from high school. Hope you week is wonderful - Tanya! XOXO
Hello my dear friend, Dorthe
Your collage is amazing using all of those new techniques giving such a rich textural look with the sweet PW image!
You certainly hit the jackpot this time at the flea markets with those wonderful wooden finds, tarnished bowls, precious laces and embroidered tablecloths and of course that sweet treasure box which you have already filled with your vintage buttons etc.
Sometimes we just have to wait to find such special things then all of a sudden in a day there is so much treasure to be found - enjoy!
Wishing you sunshine and love after rain which your garden will be soaking up to grow more beauty!

Hello Dorthe,
You have created another lovely artwork while playing with your new supplies. I especially love the gold thread you have used to highlight the image, so lovely. Looking forward to seeing what you create with your beautiful new flea finds.
We had a very full weekend, Friday was my oldest son's college commencement(graduation), he finished school in December, but I wanted to see him in his cap and gown:0) on Saturday, we celebrated with family and friends. No creating, but I am looking forward to an artful week.
Hugs and JOY to you my friend,
Kimberly.
Dear Dorthe,
The collage you made is so beautiful and the colours are gorgeous.

Oh! My! Dorothe!!! What wonderful treasures you found at the flea market!!! I love them all!
I also adore your book - I really like Tim Holtz stuff, and you have done a wonderful collage on it. What a treasure itself!
Здравей скъпа Дороти, колажа е страхотен! Всички неща и техники, които правиш винаги изглеждат много интересно и вдъхновяващо.
Находките, които си открила и купила са просто прекрасни-истински съкровища. Обожавим стари дантели и всякакви дребни елементи.
Поздрави и прегръдки от мен и успешна седмица.
Hei Dorthe. Nyydelig colage du har laget. Så mye fint du har funnet. Nydelige blonder og den esken med knapper er jo et funn.
Ha en fin kveld videre
Klem
Kære Dorthe.
Rigtig flot collage.
Spændende materialer og flotte effekter med dine nye produkter.
Og hvilke spændende loppe-fund! Bliver spændende at se, hvordan de skal bruges i de mange flotte kreationer.
Knus,
Emilie
I adore what you created with the precious PW girl and your new supplies Dorthe ...
Wonderful results!!!
your flea market finds are all such wonderful treasures and they will each turn into gold with your hands making something very special with them!
oxo
Oh Dorthe, your collage is so beautiful and delightful. I love your style so much.
Your flea market finds are great too. I'm curious what you design with all this gorgeous stuff.
The weather here is to run away :-) 10 degrees Celsius and in the Black Forest it's snowing at 900 meters. That has never happened before at this season. The whole world is crazy, right?
Have a nice rest of the week my dear friend.
Hugs MARTINA
super fine sager du har fundet. dejligt at loppemarkederne er igang igen.
Hi Dorthe-- I'm loving all the amazing medias that you use for your creations. I know nothing about these things-- but I so admire your amazing talents. I love the color and rich patina here--
Your silver treasures and vintage laces are absolute treasures! I'm wondering if you love flea markets as much as me???
Love you--
Vicki
Yaaay! My heart sings when I find a good flea market! I love your wonderful scrummy finds, wood, keyholes, laces, notions, and boxes...what could be more exciting!!! Your collages are always so beautiful and filled with wonderful textural detail! The inka gold adds the right touch, and I love that texture!
I hope all is well with you sweetie and think of you every day! Sending bog hugs and love!
Oooooooh Dorthe, what a gorgeous collage! LOVE it!! That Terra is cool stuff... beautiful textures... and WOW your new flea market treasures are wonderful! LOVELY laces and other fabulous notions.... beautiful finds.... can't wait to see what stunners you create with them. x
gorgeous collage Dorthe and such lovely flea market finds. I cannot wait to see what you create with them. We have Memorial weekend here this weekend - and it is a bit chilly.
Hi Dorthe,
Oh I love your newest collage design. What a gorgeous piece with so much detail and beautiful texture. You just have the touch.
And, you found wonderful treasures at the fleamarket. I love the old pieces of wood and silver, parts and accessories. The lace just steals my heart. I can see you are going to have a lot of fun using these found elements.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
dear Dorthe
what a lovely treasures you have here and especialy the lace.
the paint is beautiful and you will make lovely projects with them all.
i love your collages and texture on them and great color combination.
have a nice week my friend and hugs to you.
Ann
Hi Dorthe, absolutely stunning collage, she is a really precious image, just love the colours and textures using the terra paste and as for your amazing flea market finds WOW. Will let you know when I find a UK stockist of Tim's new fabric collection. Have a lovely weekend. Xx
so many beautiful things in your posts dear Dorthe that I don't know which to comment on first! that image is so hauntingly beautiful, and such treasures!! Thank you for your sincerity about my family in Oklahoma... xox
Oh dearest, you are a girl after my own heart! I would have bought every single thing you brought home from the flea!!!! It's probably a great thing we don't shop together :) Even the stocking box is divine! and speaking of divine----your collage is so beautiful! The new techniques make it so very lovely. I always feel so inspired after seeing your artwork and it makes me want to get my 'stuff' out and work away. I have learned SO much from you...you are a great teacher and inspiration!
I have the same problem with my lilacs too Dorthe. I hammer the ends and they still don't last. Usually only long enough to scent the house beautifully and take a few pictures of them. And then in the winter I will look at the photos again and the sweet scent comes back to me again. I think that is the main reason I love taking photos of the flowers so much :)
much love from me...
Brilliant, Dorthe, yet another fabulous collage, and I love the deeper colours you have used. Wonderful finds as well, I was oohing and aahing looking at the photos. xx
Dorthe,
I love your new products & how you applied them to your work. I need to look for that terra stuff. You got some great elements for your art. I want to reach into my screen and snatch some of the wooden pieces:)
Have a great weekend friend.
Lisa
Alle Deine letzten Creationen sind traumhaft schön, liebe Dorthe! Aber ich hätte ja auch nichts anderes von Dir erwartet, hihihi!! Ein wunderbares und sonniges Wochenende wünsche ich Dir! Kys, kys und Knuddelgrüße, Viola :o)
