Strange for our pet to watch the stray cat being fed by me. This morning he ducked under the entry stairs of the house only to dash out and run the trespasser off when I openend the door to feed our stray tomcat.
Yesterday I could take a photo of him while our grey one sat by my feet and I was constantly talking to him not to attack his brother - lol. In the moment I took him on my arms he was courageous enough to spit at his stray brother... Just have to figure out how to upload from the camera ....challenged here.

A book that I read lately is "Dschungelkind" by Sabine Kuegler. Born in Nepal in 1972 she spent the first 17 years of her life in Indonesia (West-Papua) among a forgotten tribe of former cannibals with her parents who worked as linguists. A lot of us are fascinated by foreign cultures and I thought I would recommend this touching story. Returning to Europe in 1989 with 17 yo she was challenged to live in a new world she didn´t know anything about. About her experiences in this new world and reflections of childhood stories you can read in this book. It is written openheartedly.

This digital tile was the result of doing a bit of photoshop playing with filters and such. I ransferred it to canvas board. I liked the colors so much that I decided to imitate the look of the tile for a paperquilt swap I´m in. I finished the digital quilt with some rubberstamp images. Colors are fluid chalks.

To substitute the wheel in the centre which was the result of a caleidoscope filter I chose the negative image of a dried orange slice I had pressed into penscore. The tiles turned out quite different because I inked the penscore differently so the edge of the slice printed darker or not at all. Since the grunge style turns up in a lot of works I tried some circles with the edges of a glass. Ink is again fluid chalks.
This was a fun and quick project.
