Good morning Sunday. The theme for this week's challenge may evade you at first when looking at my collage but it was chosen by Birgitta and is the number Five - identical items or the number itself appearing in each space. Well, my selection may not conform exactly but I can argue the identical requirement. Apologies first for having to turn some of the pictures on their side because of the format. Don't get a crick in your neck! πŸ€—πŸ’™

Five dragonflies in my Sunset Squadron artwork. Postage stamps on a first day cover celebrating the British film industry with Peter Sellers, David Niven, Charlie Chaplin, Vivienne Leigh and Alfred Hitchcock. The golden ewers are in the Museum of Art History in Vienna and are part of the Treasure of NagyszentmiklΓ³s, a horde found in Romania.

The Rennie Macintosh roses decorate a room in the House for an Art Lover in Helensburgh, outside Glasgow. First and second World War medals are followed by royal memorabilia china.

My images of Paris landmarks printed as postcards. A version of the Supper at Emmaus by Caravaggio in the Church of Our Lady in Bruges. Finally, another of my mixed media artworks, Countryside Companions which has five creatures: 3 crows, an owl and a sheep.

The fjnine challenge was created by Megan Flots & Jets, Megan Ridgway .

Is he a sci-fi-mad dad, a Trekkie or a Star Wars fan? Hopefully, a gift like these would be out of this world!

He could be transported to another galaxy with my Intergalactic Dragon-flyer or contemplate the wonderfully weird Arachnoid Ovoid. Or be fascinated by my prints of Life Force or the Ice Man!

Your stellar gift could transform his man cave, study or office. πŸ‘½πŸ›ΈπŸ‘ΎπŸ›°οΈ

Hello again. This artwork is one of the Father's Day gift suggestions in my earlier post. Did you know that the dragon is the only mythical creature in the Chinese lunar calendar?

It represents strength, intelligence, ambition and leadership (just like Dads !). It's also the yang of yin and yang and is a masculine symbol. Unlike our traditional view of dragons in the West, the Chinese dragon is seen as good and lucky.

I've teamed this Mandarin Dragon with a cicada insect, another creature revered in Ancient China and believed to be a symbol of rebirth and immortality.

Isn't it amazing what can result from a biscuit tin and some beads? πŸ§‘πŸ‘πŸ²

Something soft and fluffy for your Sunday - and that's just me! πŸ€— Here's my selection for this week's challenge. The theme has been chosen by Lena and the challenge creator is Megan .

The soft toys speak for themselves. Otherwise we have a yellow duster, my single cloud High Summer print, a mound of pillow wadding, more clouds in a Year of the Monkey display in a Malaysian shopping centre and Me being attacked by a fur coat many moons ago in New York! πŸ’›πŸ˜ŠπŸ¦™ (Seems the emoji for fluffy is a llama!)

Did you know that today is National Bubbly Day? Me neither but I'm always ready to celebrate a new discovery! πŸ₯‚πŸ˜Š And given that I was chatting about drinking glasses with my friends
and Deb yesterday, it's all very appropriate.

I've also learned that it was an English scientist who first wrote about a second fermentation process using sugar in 1662. Dom Perignon, the French monk, came along in 1697.

Prosecco first appeared in 1754, followed by Cava in 1872. Bubbly Day was first celebrated in 2017 by Freixenet Cava. Whichever might be your
favourite why not enjoy a few bubbles over the weekend, it makes any day a celebration. Cheers! πŸΎπŸ’›
