It's another cold and sunny day here; hope the sun is shining for you, too! Yesterday I went for a walk in the woods with Emily, my four-footed friend. It looked like a carpet of leaves had been rolled out in the woods, it was really pretty, and I love the scrunchy sound of the leaves. And if you have ever wondered how a little fairy climbs onto a tree trunk - I have the answer: Fairy Stairs!
And I made the last pages in my journal, and will be starting my new one this week. I started out just making patterns, and then the star developed, and then the moon to accompany it. I used black ink to draw the images, and coloured the pages with pastel chalks, as I love the soft colours they give.
I think the pictures of moon and stars saying goodnight are a nice way to finish my journal, which has given me a lot of fun in the past 2 1/2 months.

ReplyDeleteWow, those look like mushroom steps. We get mushrooms growing on some of our trees as well as the soil out back. Beautiful. That second photo with those color of oranges/yellows is just awesome. You should print it out to make a journal page out of it. I love it. Must have been a very enjoyable walk and hope Emily your family pet member (FPM) enjoyed it as well. Take care and hope you are over your cold.
