I've had a bit of a job getting to the computer recently - no reason other than I have been turning out cupboards and drawers, entertaining or being entertained and no photos to show for it! It's a good job I still have lots of Paris photos and some of my Everything Circles challenge pages!
These are some of my favourites and not for any other challenges as they are in my small journals. Some of these use some of the new stamps I bought at Version Scrap.
Having spent time at Version Scrap and not much time with hubby on Saturday we went to Quai Branly Museum!
We had quite a walk past the Eiffel Tower, which now has a glass wall with entrance doors on either side.
The museum has living walls and I may have shown thees before...
We decided to eat first as there are no cafes in the museum any more....and it's here I will join Bleubeard and Elizabeth for T Stands For Tuesday!
The cafe and the restaurant are light and airy and set in the gardens of the museum.
Hubby was studying the map while we waited foe our food and we made a start on the water!
Hubby chose Croque Monsieur and I had a giant vegeburger - we exchanged half of each as both were delicious(if rather expensive!)
After that it was on to the Oceana exhibition in the Museum! The building was quite impressive - instead of stairs their was a winding ramp with rather busy moving word patterns projected on to it.
The exhibits were amazing though an most had French and English captions.
From Oceana we went to Asia, Africa and the Americas
We had spent most of the afternoon here but there were still some things we wanted to do so we caught a bus - you may see some landmarks mentioned here!
Our last view of the Eiffel Tower from the bus stop!
I will try to get some more photos ready for another day, for now I am going to rest my leg after walking around town today!
Thanks for looking, Chris
Your mixed media, stamping, and artistic creations are out of this world. I truly love all of them and the pencil stamps are really wonderful. SO creative, too. I am in awe and love that you chose Paris as a theme for one, too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it when you take us with you on holiday. The Quai Branly Museum must have been a joy for both of you. I'm sure you enjoyed Version Scrap, too.
So good to see the Eiffel Tower. It is SO iconic. I believe you HAVE shown the living walls before, but I never tire of seeing them. Both the close up and the longer view were incredible.
Lovely art in the Museum. So incredibly diverse. It all looked so impressive and one piece looked more like a mixed media assemblage than a work from years ago.
It's great you got yet another view of the Eiffel Tower. For some reason, I can never see it enough times.
Your sandwiches look rich and lovely, and they DO look expensive, too. I hope you saved that "toothpick" on your sandwich. A glass of water is perfect for saving on the food fare. Thanks for sharing your incredible art, the museum,m and your sandwiches and water with us for T this Tuesday, dear sweet Chris. Oh how I love your photos!!!!
I am loving your journal pages Chris! they definitely show a love of art and your newly acquired stamps. Gorgeous photos of Paris, the Eiffel tower, the museum art, and of course the food! I would enjoy both meals certainly;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing another wonderful post of artistic and travel journeys, and happy T day!
I saw these living walls recently on a garden show, about artistic gardening. They are really amazing, and must have been fantastic in person. And those exhibits looks really interesting. It is too bad they now have to increase security around the base of the Eiffel Tower, but it is better they do that in this world, isn't it? I want that landmark to be around. And loving your circle journal page too. And wow, that is one gigantic sandwich you had. Hope it was a great T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteParis! What a perfect time to renew that love. Always the same, it seems, even through all the changes :) That museum looks like a place I could stay in for hours and hours. Fascinating! You get such good photos! The food looks delicious. Happy T Tuesday!
