Hi Everybody!
Today I have a hybrid piece for Elke's lovely 'landscapes
of the soul' theme at Art Journal Journey. I used a photo for the
background, and then various freebie overlays. The text was made
with a stencil from Stencilry. I am also linking to
Paint Party Friday.

For my autumn/Halloween challenge at Tag Tuesday I have
an owl tag. The image is from Gecko Galz. The metallic owls were
sent by my dear friend Donna. I sewed them to the branch with
gold thread. The edges were also machine sewn.
On Tuesday I visited Südpark with my buddy G. It's a huge,
open area (70 hectares) at the other end of the town and I can get
there on the tram. As well as a farm and a cottage garden, there are
acres of green, lakes and wonderful flower gardens.
We started at the farm and cottage gardens. I loved seeing the
sunflowers, a reminder that autumn is pushing summer
out, although it was a warmish day:
These 2 ladies are called Heike and Doris, and were
surprisingly quick and agile:
The goats were my faves, and came trotting to the fence
to get some treats, and enjoyed being stroked:
The bee house:
This one loved being petted:
I have lots more photos to show in the next days!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
das war bestimmt toll im südpark mit all den tierchen,das die schweine doris und heike heißen find ich witzig.
ReplyDeleteauch all die schönen herbstfarben sind toll,und dein tag und deine seite sind wunderschön.
einen schönen tag.
hugs jenny
der Südpark hat immer Anziehungskraft finde ich schon damals als ich dort war du hast herrliche Fotos gemacht gerade auch die schönen Sonnenblumen und die Tiere ach wie goldig sie sind.. d ahst du diene wahre Freude geahbt bei dem Wetter.
ReplyDeleteSo zu deinen Tag das ist ja wunderschön die Eule und diese passende Eulenanhänger, grossartig gestaltet.
Zu meinem Thema Seelenschaften ist so bezaubernd verträumt das Journal mit diesem Satz eine fantasievolle Arbeit von dir. Ich bin ganz Glücklich was dir alles einfällt!!! Super Dankeschön fürs verlinken zu AJJ.
Heute ist ziemlich Nebel noch mal schauen ob es sich auflöst was...
Dir noch einen schönen Tag!
Lieben Gruss Elke

Wonderful artwork, the darkly mysterious journal page and the gorgeous, autumnal tag - love those little metal owls! Great photos, too, I remember Südpark well, A. once ran into the lake to try to catch a duck....he came out green and slimy but seemed to have enjoyed it! Enjoy your day, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and the blue is gorgeous. Love the oink oinks.xx [aNNie]
ReplyDeleteLovely art and photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm working backwards today. Those sunflower photos are very cool. Love the new header too. And I think adding the charms to the tag was smart. I love owls and so it's a "charming" piece to me. Ha-ha. And the peacock is gorgeous. They are so regal, aren't they? Hope all is well. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces look wonderful! That peacok just glows and I love your owl tag! The little owl charms sewn onto the branch are such a clever touch!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your outing to that park too, love the autumnal colours, and those pigs and goatts are so cute!!
Your lovely AJJ entry is fabulous. I really love the peacock, but also like that stencil, too. I think I have stencil envy.
ReplyDeleteOh those owls. Genuinely awesome tag. I adore it.
Did you take the photo of that rusty farm equipment for me?? I swooned when I saw it. Of course, the images of autumn were captured beautifully in so many of your photos. The warmth of the colors show beautifully in your photos from today.
I knew you would love that rusty implement!
DeleteYour page is stunning. Love the ultramarine blue and black combination. The peacock and the text really jump off the page. Cute owl charms. So much beautiful color on your outing. The pigs and the goats remind me of the petting zoo at an apple orchard we used to visit when the girlies were little.
ReplyDeleteaww love the animal pictures very much...
ReplyDeleteLovely blue page and textured tag! Beautiful photos at the park, glad it was mild weather to make it more enjoyable!
ReplyDeletesuch gorgeous fall photos loved all of them-and the animals-we used to raise farm animals when we were younger-your art is lovely the owl is my favorite
ReplyDeleteThe peacock page is beautiful - such rich colors and details!! And what a great owl tag too!!
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I've picked out my favorite pieces then you come out with new ones:) I especially love the owl and the little owl charms. How perfect.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely day. I'm glad.

Peacocks are amazing. What a beautiful subject to work with. The photos are wonderful. I love cottage gardens. They are the most charming. The photogenic animals are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful owl card, Valerie, and the little metallic pendants you used! So original! As for your photos, they are great! I especially love the sunflowers, the pigs and, of course, the goat! Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shades of blue in your awesome page Valerie. The peacock looks magnificent and the quote you chose today is super.
ReplyDeleteI also loved the wonderful owl and the sweet owl charms you used to embellish the tag were lovely.
Super photos, the animals looked so happy and well cared for.

The animals there are really cared for and healthy, makes me happy!
DeleteEine traumhafte Szene hast du da gestaltet und das Eulen-Tag mit den drei Eulen-Charms daran mag ich auch sehr. Die Fotos von eurem Ausflug zum Südpark sieht verlockend aus, all die schönen Blumen und knuddeligen Tiere. Schöne Fotos hast du davon gemacht. Die beiden Schweinedamen sind total drollig, schön auch die Nahaufnahmen.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße

ReplyDeleteYour beautiful peacock art reminded me of when I was a kid. My aunt's neighbor had peacocks, and I got to see them up close. Such a lovely bird. I was a bit intimidated by their size, tho. Hope you have a great week!! Keep the photos coming. I enjoy seeing your side of the world so much. :)
ReplyDeleteYour art is so amazing! Thank you for your creations!!!
