Curtains Gypsy Caravan

I'm very busy with making new curtains for my Gypsy Caravan! 

The blue ones will be for the sleeping area and the green ones for the dining area. Because I'm on a budget for redecorating the caravan, I've used the blue and green curtain fabric which I had in stash and added the new striped fabric as a border to compensate for the lack of old fabric. 
Only 2 more blue curtains to go!

ICAD 2

Here's my second set of 7 index cards for the ICAD challenge! I have been experimenting a lot with transferring images from books and magazines using matte medium.
The prompts I used are: B+W, Stripes, Colors of Winter, Faux Quilt (2), Alphabet stamps and decorate the corners.

Image transfer from a Dutch children's book (Het boek van Ot en Sien) by Jan Ligthart and H. Scheepstra, images made by C. Jetses.

These are painted (acrylics) strips of tape.

 Background is a page from a dictionary. I added a lot of water to soften down the watercolors and glimmer mists I used. The haiku is from Matso Basho, a Japanese poet (1644-1694). 

 Another transfer with matte medium using music paper. 

 Small pieces of paper from subscription cards.

 For this background I used an image (transfer) from a magazine, it's hard to see but it's a sun/moon.

And finally I used some images (transfer) from another magazine (add campaign for Citroen) on a background with gesso and watercolor.
