Good holiday tips for Switzerland?
I'm thinking of going to Switzerland in April for a weekend.
just wondering if anyone has any tips of where to go and what to do there?
I'd like to be in or near a city that's easy to get around ( I don't drive) and would love to do things like scenic train rides, art galleries or wine tasting ?
(im not interested in sports or skiing)
and I like going out for meals/ drinks in the evening.
any tips would be great thanks!
I would recommend you to visit:
Basel http://www.switzerland-trips.com/Basel/Basel-attractions-activities.html
Lugano http://www.switzerland-trips.com/Lugano/Lugano-attractions-activities.html
or Geneva http://www.switzerland-trips.com/Geneva/Geneve-attractions-activities.html
From Geneva you can make a day trips to Mont Salève (House Mountain), to Chamonix and Mont Blanc range. Of course Geneve itself is pretty interesting. Also if you have enough time visit Lausanne http://www.lausanne.ch which is 60-70km away from Geneva.

Tapestry Art - Verdure tapestries
Tapestries from Europe around the twelfth century, back when it was assumed, was the art of Weaving in the Eastern introduced. I think some small tapestries were produced in the Middle Ages. However, it was actually towards the end of this period and the Renaissance, Art Tapestry production reached a peak. The fourteenth in the seventeenth century, France and the Netherlands will be some of the most incredible way to create carpets ever made. While "The Hundred Years' War -1337-1453, when the center of Paris production of Tapestry Art in Europe. Indeed, the war raging in Europe, many weavers left France and the north, mainly the Netherlands and Belgium. Many tapestries were destroyed, but after the war at the beginning of a new era of learning and the development would be.

By the end of the fifteenth century, began to dominate the Brussels tapestry workshops production. Although some French, independent, non-workers were not able to carry out carpet, the mere volume of information produced by the Netherlands and Brussels tapestries. Once again, the war would disrupt the production of carpets, such as the weavers were forced to move in Europe. Later, towards the end of the sixteenth century, Paris, Munich and Delft have now recognized it would be a "European Carpet Production Center.

I love to create Pop Art paintings, so I need a pop art print to base my painting on. I find the easiest way to get this effect is to start by adjusting the image in Photoshop elements. It is extremely easy to create a pop art image from any photograph using these simple steps.
First, Open Photoshop elements, then up load your image into Photoshop by clicking, File then Open, Choose the picture you want then click Open.
Second, Make sure you have the photo in the Edit, Full tab. You can check this by looking to the right of the page, at the top you will see in orange Edit tab, in purple Create tab and in green Share tab. Click on the orange Edit tab. Below the Edit tab you have 3 tabs, Full, Quick and Guided. Click on Full.
Once you have checked this, go to the orange Effects tab and just below there are 4 options, Filters, Layer styles, Photos effects and All effects, click on All Effects.
You will then have a series of different pictures showing the different effects possible. For this pop art effect you will need to scroll down using the side bar on this section until Cutout is high lighted. This is the effect we are going to use. Click on the Cutout effect twice to be taken to a new screen or you can select the Cutout picture and then press Apply, this will appear just below.
Third, A new screen will appear and you will have your original picture in a large box on the left and the options to adjust the setting in a smaller bow in the top right corner. Here you will see 3 slide bars, Number of levels, Edge simplicity and Edge fidelity. By moving the cursor arrow over the center of these levels, clicking down and holding the left mouse button. You will be able to move the levels left and right to adjust the effect on your Original Photo. For my pop art paintings I tend to use the settings, Number of levels 4, Edge simplicity 3 and Fidelity 2. Play around with these settings until you achieve the desired effect and then simply press OK. Then you can go to File, and then Save as and chose a name for the file. By selecting Save as, instead of simply Save, you will insure the effect is not placed on the original photo. Leaving you free to play with the different effects as often as you wish.
I hope this helps you achieve the pop art effects you want. You can see examples of my pop art paintings and my surf art paintings on my web site.
