Hi everybody!
Hope you have had a good day.
This is another piece I made for the metal challenge at Moo Mania and More.
I embossed a piece of metal foil in an embossing folder, then heat embossed it with Archival green and hologram EP. This time I held it with a cloth so I did not burn my fingers again. I double sewed it onto red, silver, and red corrugated card. The metal man is one that Donna sent me from Mexico many moons ago, and I fixed him to the front of the hanging with foam pads. This was fun to make! Also linking to Simon Monday Challenge, anything goes.
The sun tried to show itself this morning, but soon hid behind clouds again.
Today the wild geese and ducks were busy standing on one leg:
And the cormorant was back on his striped pole:
A huge cloud of wild geese flew up from the Rhine, I just managed to catch them. As they flew they formed their 'v'.
Somebody had evidently been playing mosaic with bits of glass down at the river, and arranged them on one of the large stones:
Thanks to the copious amount of rain we had, the fungi are sprouting everywhere:
Have a nice weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
HI Val, this is gorgeous, I never know how you manage to think up something new each day. Love the photos, too. Have a good evening, hugs, Sarah

Oh yes! Quite spectacular dear Valerie. He's an Aztec dancer - and they will be doing their wonderful dancing and drumming in the streets here soon as Day of the Dead is just around the corner. Love the embossing and the colours. Great photos from your walk - must be a lot of faeries around with all those large mushrooms. Take care. hugs, Donna

Great tag, Valerie. It is so colorful in red that it could hang as an ornament on a tree this holiday season. Love all of the fungi photos; they are amazing.

ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, this is a wonderful art piece. You are always amazing and bring a bit of cheer to me today. I had a dental emergency yesterday with a tooth gone bad and now needing a root canal to begin on Monday. Always something!!
ReplyDeleteLove your walking pics.
Hugs
Sorry about your tooth, good luck with the treatment!
DeleteLove this Valerie, the stitching looks fab together with the bright colours. Autumn is really drawing in now isn't it, no wonder the poor ducks will only put one leg in the water! xx
ReplyDeleteI love your solution to this problem, I would not have thought of that!
