Dragonflies revisited

Hi everybody!

Where did the day go? I hardly managed to get anything done, and it's already almost time to go to bed! Does this happen to others, too?

Today I made a journal page for Art Journal Journey, living beings.
Some time back I made some large (8") tags with dragonflies, which I found yesterday when I was looking for Halloween die-cuts. I decided to use them to make a journal page. I glued the tags onto my page, and then stitched round it with zig-zag stitch. The machine even worked today, which is a wonder. I stamped more dragonflies round the edges, and then added some blue water-colour and stickles to their wings. Sorry about the poor quality of the photos, it got dark before I noticed. The flash has reflected on the stickles in the first one. The quote on the right tag is from Leonardo da Vinci. I am also linking to the
Three Muses - Two (two tags)









The moon was beautiful again last night, very fascinating. It glowed really orange.



Today I spent a long time just watching the water fowl and the horses, something I find very calming. Perhaps that's where so much time went?







 Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  6. Oh Valerie, deine Seite ist traumhaft schön geworden - all die wunderbaren Libellen. Die Flügel glitzen herrlich. Die Zick-Zack-Nähte gefallen mir gut :) Ich mag genähtes.
    Und dann die schönen Fotos - mir gelingt es leider nicht den Vollmond mal ordentlich auf's Foto zu bekommen, entweder es liegt an der Kamera oder an mir.... ich tippe auf letzteres ;o)
    Und ja... ich frage mich jeden Abend wo der Tag geblieben ist.

  7. Beautiful dragonflies! I sort of like the flash reflection--sometimes their wings do sparkle in real life! Saw two cranes today! It is very calming to watch wildlife.

  10. Gorgeous tags on the creative page. I've also noticed that old ATCs and tags can use newly many ways.
    Wish a happy day to you!

  14. Valerie, I adore your tags - the dragonfly stamps are amazing. Do you remember who the manufacturer is? - I would love to have these in my collection! I sympathise with your disappearing days - it's so easy to let the time fly by isn't it? I so love your photographs from your walks. Thanks for sharing. Jean.x

    The serenity you were feeling during your shouting can be feel when we are gazing at.
    Thank you for sharing Valérie! :)

  16. yesterday flew by for me, as I was happily painting and gluing away. I've stolen your idea of taking blog readers for a walk on my post today. And the moon was lovely this morning too, as it glistened through the broken clouds. Have a lovely evening.

  17. Your dragonfly tags made a beautiful journal page highlight. I love all of the dragonflies you added to the page and also the butterfly. Blue always works for me. Why is it that watching horses which are so large create a calming effect. I feel the same way.

    Hugs,
    C

  21. That' a beautiful Halloween moon - if only we could save it until All Hallows Eve!
    Now have you named that beautiful swan? Do you take him special treats? Does he have a partner.
    Your journal page is smashing. I really like the way you designed this jewel!

  27. SO SCHÖN ist deine Seite! Der Glitzer auf den Libellenflügeln macht sie ganz besonders!
    Den Vollmond habe ich letztens auch eingefangen, aber nur ich vergesse immer die Fotos hochzuladen. Deins ist richtig schön mystisch!
