Autumn weather

Hi Everybody!

Today I have a hybrid piece for Elke's 'landscape of the soul' theme
at Art Journal Journey, once again using photos of
my family:




For Tag Tuesday, all creatures great and small,
I have a large tag with a painted and stamped background, the stags
were punched from black recycled card. I am also linking to 



Last night we had a fab moonscape, with dark clouds scudding by,
but unfortunately neither bats nor witches:








Today was cloudy/windy/rainy/ sunny day:









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

  4. So cool that you have pictures of relatives as children as well as adults. I don't have many pictures of my parents or their parents as children. The few I have of my grandparents as young adults are very precious. The prancing deer tag made me smile. Reminded me of the tiny service dog in the workshop Sat. She was happy and pranced around the room with her owner. You've outdone yourself with the sky photos. Gorgeous shots of the moon. Hope you're feeling better and have a good weekend.

    The background of the tag shimmers beautifully, I love the silhouette deer images.

  9. You truly DID put it all on paper and I'm sure you will keep it (and the original photos) forever. This is wonderful, but so is the tag. I like how you depicted the animals and used the backing paper.

    The moon shots were OUT OF THIS WORLD. I was incredibly impressed. It was both beautiful and ethereal. Spooky might even be a good word under certain circumstances.

    I hope you are starting to feel a bit better. Here's to a good weekend filled with healing time.

  13. Your hybrid page is beautiful, the way you have designed the page with your family photos, birds and flowers is seamless and looks so magical! Your moon photos are stunning and I'm sorry there were no witches or bats ... if you take a look at my current page it seems I must have read you mind ...lol 😉. Wishing you a lovely weekend! J 😊

  18. Those dancing deer are cute Valerie. I like that take on the theme. And what a gorgeous collage. I like the family photos. They give it even more of a vintage look. I love seeing actually family photos too. I use those TH people, which I like, but maybe I need to pull out and copy some old photos. As usual, your post is full of inspiration. And your moon photos is amazing. It is as good as the one in my post today, but I didn't take that photo. :) Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika

  21. Beautiful collage, Valerie, and I like the tag too. Wasn't that moon beautiful? I was in the car and driving and couldn't photograph so I'm especially loving yours.

  22. Cool spookiness captures in the sky! The collage is beautiful. I love the "put it on paper keep it forever". With technology today we are getting away from that. It is an important thing to remember! The tag is so sweet reminding me of Santa. :) Enjoy your weekend!

  23. Wunderschön gestaltete Familiencollage mit all den schönen alten Fotos. Das Tag hat schön etwas Weihnachtliches mit seinem Goldglanz und den Schneekristallen. Deine Mondfotos sind atemberaubend schön geworden, aber die anderen auch.
    Liebe Grüße und schönen Sonntag.
    Hugs

  28. You are an amazing photographer...stunning photos of the moon!! Wow so interesting to see the family photos... one woman looks so empty and sad. We all have old photos like that.. I wonder if she really was. Interesting...Adorable children. Love your prancing deer too!! That would make a beautiful Christmas card printed up.

  29. I haven't seen the moon for a while - I've been in bed before 10 - darkness with rain is more comfy between sheets :)
    It's raining daily, every now and then sun says hello and hides again. Yesterday's ikebana course was nice experiment, I'll show photos next week.
    Have a good week ahead!

  35. I don't know how you get such fantastic moon shots. I get some that are good, but most of them are not nearly as clear as I want them to be. :) Beautiful!
