Hi Everybody!
For Art Journal Journey, architecture, and of course for Halloween, I made another A3 mixed media page. The central part is one of the photos I took at the castle on Sunday, and I added a few little flying creatures to it. I painted the edges of the page with a mix of green, brown and orange, and added some die-cut and textile leaves. The tree and fence are TH die-cuts, and were painted and distressed with DI. The little book of spells can be opened and closed. This was a fun make!
And here are some more photo impressions from Kettwig:
On the way home we visited a little farm, where you could buy eggs, home-made jams, apples, potatoes etc. The produce is in the porch of their little house, you weigh your apples, count out your eggs etc and put the money in the letter box. I love these little trust shops. They were also selling home made Schnapps, but anybody who wanted that had to ring the bell and prove they were over 18 before they could be handed a bottle!
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
What lovely details on the journal, and your photos are great!
ReplyDeleteThis is one fabulous page today and loving the chookies.xx

Lovely book of spells and beautiful photos. That little store sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful journal page, and love the photos, especially those chickens. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteDelighted by your journal page. Such a great way to use 'the castle'. The photos of your adventures always please me .. none the less today with the little trust shop and the beautiful red chickens. Hope you are having a wonderful day and having some more fun. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteWas für eine tolle Seite ..das kleine Buch dazu ist ein klasse kleines Extra!
ReplyDeleteSo viel Liebe zum Detail Valerie!
Was für eine verträumtes, kleines Städtchen - zauberhaft und der Hofladen klingt toll!
Herrlliche Fotos!
Hab einen schönen Donnerstag Liebes!

as always, I love your photo walks - that shoe is a novelty. Great idea to use that castle photo in your artwork. Love how you have extended the leaves out beyond the photo.
ReplyDeletePeople in your country are so trusting. If that were to happen in the states, someone would come along and steal all the eggs, jams, and money!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the cow jumping over the moon, but never the cat sitting on the sun! This made me laugh. Really clever use of that image as a face, too. And of course, I really enjoyed more of the photos of Kettwig. I especially liked the view from where you were looking down, and the shoe on the building. Really gorgeous autumn atmosphere, too.
Stunning photographs and the star for me was the big shoe--brilliant
ReplyDeleteTerrific page-you are so good at Halloween projects. Does the Spell Book have anything that mends teeth please--we are both off to see the dentist again today so that will be every day this week so far,
Have a great day
Love Chrissie xx
If it did I would have used it instead of spending so much time and money at the dentist's in the past weeks!
DeleteThis page is spectacular Valerie. I love the shadow building and you outdid yourself with all the little additions! Nice. Great photos too. That shoe is pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteso viel schönes wieder, und ich sehe meine Lieblinge, die Pfaffenhütchen sind auch dabei!!
ReplyDeleteGreat fun and clever and artistic creation! Love it. As usual the photographs are better than 10,000 words ... as Confucius might have said.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked The Cloisters btw

Wow Valerie! What a fabulous fantasy this is! The photos of Kettwig are again wonderful! There is a place that we go past sometimes sells homemade jam - I know…I shouldn't…but I do!!! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background and I love the fall leaves.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Teresa
Fun to look at too. Thanks for a glimpse into the book of spells, I am going to try that one, haha!
ReplyDeleteWhy are your villages and streets always so clean? Do you carry a brush to clean up before you take your photos? (I actually know a photographer who does just that, he's even cleared a beach first).
And that door, my goodness, it's tremendous.
Mostly it is clean, and if not, I wouldn't take a photo!
DeleteOh I love this post full of Halloween style and fun, so great! The oranges and Autumn feel they are favourites of mine and all your lovely photos, the chickens and little farm, what a wonderful little place!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie. Your favorite colors work so well for your journal pages with Halloween as the theme. I like your tiny book and the castle is so perfect for your page today. Thanks for more photos. I am so happy you are well again.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Carolyn
Love your Halloween journal page and love that you used your own castle photo ♥ Nice photos from your little trip and the farm photos are great!
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant the way you have used your photo and made such a awesome and quirky scene with it. I love the way you always perfectly match your paint colours to your photo too,
ReplyDeleteAnd more lovely photos xx
