Hi Everybody!
Today we are beginning a new challenge at Moo Mania and More -
Floral.
Projects of all formats are welcome, and you have 2 weeks
to link your creations to us - hope to see you there!
I used recycled cardboard (14x18cm), which I peeled and painted white. I added scraps of vintage written and printed paper and some gilding flakes. The images were cut from a prospect, and the flowers were also recycled from old decorations. I found a scrap of white jute and a few fibres which the bird can use to build its nest....
My apartment faces east, but in the evening the setting sun peaks over the rooftops and lights up the trees and clouds:
And the gibbous moon was bright in the sky:
This morning the sunrise was beautiful again:
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Your project today is beautiful, I am always fascinated that you can do something different every day. Lovely photos, too, great moon shot. Hugs Sarah

lovely spring page Valerie! I think I would prefer east facing to west. Beautiful moon and sunrise photos.
ReplyDeleteI was getting ready to upload today's recycled project when I saw your beautiful FLORAL entry. Great minds think alike. I love, love, love this entry (you'll see why once I get mine online), and the bird really speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteYour sunrise and sunset photos are superb. I am always in awe of what comes out of your camera!
Good Morning Valerie! Beautiful photos along with the wonderful tag today!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday! I am out for shopping now!

I was thrilled to have read your post and was able to include Moo-Mania and More in my entry because of YOU. I was even thinking of you when I created the cardboard heart.
ReplyDeleteThe bird is known as a red-breasted American robin. I found this on the internet which shows it:

These birds are singing and playing all over my yard, as well as the strip of grass between my neighbor's and my driveways. Personally, I think mine are more colorful.
Thanks for the link, I will have a look. The robins here are different, I love seeing the variations from continent to continent.
DeleteAmazing photographs Valerie-I love to see your beautiful mornings.
ReplyDeleteThe project for Moo Mania is wonderful with all the stand out details and images.
Have a lovely day

Glad to hear it, I'm always looking up words on the computer and Google, no need to dig out the big dictionaries these days!
DeleteOh my gosh, best one yet. You've got to hang that on your wall or put it on a little easel. So delicate and feminine. LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteAnd what amazing photographs.
WOW!!! A knockout post today Valerie! I love your bird creation, so tactile and beautiful!! Your photos are stunning too, I just love how colourful your sky gets at night and in the morning! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteYour 'recycled garden' is beautiful Valerie and once again you have taught me something new - a gibbous moon, I've never heard that before, but it's my new word for today! Thank you xx
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, Well I know I have missed a lot of creativity here but how special to be greeted by your latest gorgeous floral design. What a fun challenge and you sure pulled it off with this creation. Love it. Great photos from your home. The sky line is beautiful. Thanks for stopping by too. xo
