These boots.....

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well.
We haven't had any rain or storms here today, but other places still got hit hard.
I hope things will soon get back to normal.

For Art Journal Journey, maps, I have another journal page. The boots are my fave boots, I just altered the colour here a bit. In real life they are grey! The vintage map is courtesy of Wikipedia.




Last week I got some happy Mail from Carolyn. She always makes extremely beautiful and arty cards, and has a lot of wonderful Japanese stamps, which she used to make this wonderful card.



And in the card this lovely stamp-set:


Thanks a lot Carolyn!

I enjoyed my walk today, it was sunny, and the flowers are growing well:




This sign-post is slowly being reclaimed by nature:



I love how the contrail seems to be exploding in the sun:


I walked through some gardens near the Basilica:





Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. What a wonderful lot of awesome photos!

    Your boots are great, I love the page you created - it is very artful and I love the text on it as well. Of course we have heard about the flooding in Germany and France, and I see that you have had some really high water. I hope everything will be back to normal pretty soon. Beautiful images of the flowers - roses and clematis make such good companion.

    And a beautiful stamp set!!!

  10. It never ceases to amaze me how you can take something as "ordinary" as a pair of favorite boots, and turn them into a work of art. Actually, I should say a masterpiece!

    Gorgeous photos of the flowers today. They seemed to echo the beautiful stamp you received. LOVED the photo of nature doing her thing to the signpost and the exploding contrail. Right place, right time! Hope you have a wonderful day!

  12. Beautiful photos, especially the flower ones (love the clematis) and the last one is a great composition and would make a lovely large framed print.
    That's a really clever colour change for your boots.

  26. Love those boots. Maybe you should die and embellish the real ones to match.

    Your flower photos are so gorgeous I can almost smell the peonies.
