Hi Everybody!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Today just seemed to run away - I had a lot planned, and was busy all day, but didn't get much done.
For Art Journal Journey, journeys, hosted by our sweet Erika, I have a double mixed-media spread in my new journal, which is now almost full. I 'm also trying to get rid of lots of scraps. In recent years, technical things have been progressing with huge steps, and the newest technique from Victorian times, although most impressive at the time, is just history today. The technical progress of recent times is a journey which moves us along at an amazing pace, and sometimes I wonder where and when this journey will end.
We had a lot of cloud this morning, but the sunrise was still beautiful:
The horses are happy whatever the weather is:
Lots of leafy, green paths to walk along:
And this is something I haven't seen before - a nettle growing out of one of the walls:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
This is something different today, and I like it very much. Great photos, too, the sunrise was wonderful, the sky looks like molten gold. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteI just started worrying that this time will pass too quickly, all that lovely greenery! The horses look beautiful and lovely pages you did for AJJ.
ReplyDeleteYou have completed transported me back in time. It is a beautiful spread, the warmth of the colours and choice of images. Stunning.

Your pages are super and have a nice vintage look to them.
ReplyDeleteExciting to almost have that journal filled too.
I like that cheeky nettle content with just a crack to grow in :-)
Happy rest of the weekend ♥ oxo
What a clever journey topic for today Valerie. I think your page came out beautifully. You used lots of clever pieces and the addition of that beautiful girl is such an antithesis to the other images that she works perfect. Love seeing how green it is-we're catching up though, however slow its been here. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThose clouds in the photo look rumbly...a storm? Love your page and I love the title, should have used that for my blog....hugs.xxx

ReplyDeleteSchönen Pfinstsonntag liebe Valerie!
Liebe Grüße

Wie lustig: this, that and the neighbour's cat... das ist doch bestimmt ein Spruch aus deiner alten Heimat?! Ganz schön verregnete Pfingsten, nicht wahr, ich bin heute ziemlich nass geworden. Liebe Grüße von Ulrike
ReplyDeleteSo lieb dass Du irgendwas schön findest....
DeleteFabulous page, love those warm colour tones!! Super collage!
ReplyDeleteGreat page today Valerie!!!! Love all of the photos of course and that Nettle is one determined PLANT!
ReplyDeleteThe colors on your journaling today are sooo lovely Valerie. I laughed out loud at the "this that and the neighbors cat"!!!! I love how you made your this and thats into such a fun Journey theme.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the nettle on the bricks should win an award somewhere - AMAZING. XXj.
Beautiful spread - I think one of my favorites. It feels like love - like a warm blanket. Everything fits together so well. My eye is wandering all over your spread gently resting on one thing or another before it moves on. "This and that and the neighbor's cat" really tickled my fancy. My favorite picture is the Nettle growing out of the old wall.
