Hi Everybody!
The weekend has flown by again. Today was cloudy and cool, but still nice for walking, and I visited my friends the ducks and geese. They all seemed to be a bit tired today, perhaps bringing up their little quackers is a strenuous task!
April 22nd is a day with a lot of memories for me, as it was our wedding anniversary and also the anniversary of the day my husband died, so it's a time with mixed feelings.

Our theme this week is Africa, and at Moo Mania and More 'Triptych', so I combined the two challenges. I used some animal-print paper for the background, and black paper cut from some old calendars for the toppers. I dug my small Africa stencils out, and kept to white and a bit of neon-orange for my colour scheme. The lady is a home made stencil, which I drew from an image on a card that I got sent many moons ago. It's very simple but I like the effect, and got it done while waiting for my veggie stir-fry to cook, so had some nice aromas to sporn me on.
The little figure is a palm-oil collector from Ghana, a souvenir from
long ago. It was made from melted down English 3-penny coins (theepenny
bits), and is something that I treasure.
Have good week, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!

Hi Valerie - this is just fantastic - dramatic colours and stencilled images which all contribute to such an artistic interpretation of African culture.
