Hi everybody!
Happy Sunday!
This piece is a joint venture made with a little girl, Sally, who I looked after for an afternoon this week while her grandmother had an appointment. She enjoyed making this page for 'Deep in the forest' at Art Journal Journey. She chose colours which I would perhaps not have used, but they are her favourites The paper (and my kitchen floor) were sprayed well with a pink spray. Then she chose 'Dark peony' fluid chalk ink and I showed how how to rub it into the cracks of the CWS stencil. I held the stencil, so my fingers got to be the same colour! When it was dry she looked through my bit boxes to find nice things to put into the forest. She made up the owls from a decoupage kit, and the fairy was one I stamped some time back for a challenge and did not use. I helped her with the mushrooms, and showed her how to use my Big Shot, with which she cut TH's bird branch. She spent the rest of the afternoon cutting images with the Big Shot, and took them home with her when she went, so she was a happy bunny. It was fun working with her!
We had a golden October day here, with wonderful blue skies, which looked really magical. I spent a lot of time outdoors walking round and taking photos. Here are some impressions.

Blue skies:
The castle ruins -
Can you see the little crescent moon at the top left?
And the evening sky
How wonderful to be able to share your talent with the next generation Valerie-I bet you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteLove the photographs with the amazing colours in sky and the silhouettes against them.
Have a beautiful day today
Love Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and a fun journal page, glad you had some 'help'. Nice weather here too, but we didn't get out much as the baby is still a bit cranky with getting her teeth! Hugs, Sarah
Very nice pink interpritation on the theme. All little girls love pink and I'm sure she enjoyed being with doing this.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was here a sunny day, today it's raining.
Happy Sunday to you Valerie!
What a beautiful piece of Art that both of you created. It's so much fun to craft with someone and share ideas. Stunning pictures as always Valerie, the shades of the evening sky looks just like a painting. Sorry for my lack of comments recently. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Rita, I understand!

ReplyDeleteThe Journey is the Start
Diese MĂ€dchen scheint ein groĂes Basteltalent zu sein und Du bist höchstwahrscheinlich eine begnadetet Werklehrerin, wenn da so ein tolles Bild entstanden ist! Deine Fotos sind wieder himmlisch!
ReplyDeleteAJJ dankt Deiner kleinen Freundin und Dir ganz ♥lichst!
Hab einen schönen Sonntag Val!
Sie ist ein kluges Ding, und versteht alles auf Anhieb, macht SpaĂ mit ihr zu werkeln!
DeleteI think she chose great colours, love the owls! What a beautiful shot of the sunset! happy Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors she chose--you know purple is my favorite! The owl couple are really colorful, too. I'd walk in that happy forest anytime!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunrise shots!
I hope you'll tell Sally that I think this is absolutely fantastic, love the trees and owls, especially the one dancing, and the pink colour scheme. When is she coming back, can she do another one for AJJ?
ReplyDeleteAnd again, I love your sky photos, the last one is outstanding and gives the feeling of colder Autumn.
Yes, I will. She's a clever little girl, and fun to be with, albeit a trifle exhausting with her unbounding energy!
DeleteI can see that Sally had a lovely time with you, its a super page and those owls look so cute. bet she wants to visit you again soon.

What a fun page and I love her color choices !!!! Great photos again.... love the one with the bird...what is that it's setting on? Such beautiful sky shots today.... No sunrise for me I slept in til 11:00 am today which is not a good thing :(
ReplyDeleteThe bird is sitting on one of the red-white poles along the Rhein which are markings for the shipping. The cormorants always sit on the top.
DeleteEure Gemaeinschafts-Seite sieht total schön aus, der Hintergrund ist ganz zauberhaft geworden und die kleine Elfe und die Eulchen passen perfekt dazu. Deine Fotos sind ja wieder ein Traum, dieser Sonnenuntergang ist klasse eingefangen. Ich liebe diese Abendstimmungen auch sehr.
ReplyDeleteHab eine schöne neue Woche,liebe GrĂŒĂe
