Shades of autumn

Hi Everybody!

On the 5th of each month we start a new challenge at
Our themes are always anything goes, with an optional
colour choice, which is orange this time round.
I used an image from Gecko Galz, which I printed onto canvas. 
I distressed the edges and sewed it to  layers of cardboard
and DP, adding some webbing and a feather. I love the autumn
atmosphere in this one, and am listening to the crows'
harsh, rasping voices as I write this. I am also linking to Elke's
'landscapes of the soul' at Art Journal Journey.







For Wilma's lovely challenge at Tag Tuesday, all creatures great
and small, I have another Beatrix Potter tag:




I took the photos with my phone on my way to the clinic this week:












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

  1. Your fabulous artwork truly reflects what is going on around you. Autumn has truly arrived in both your art and your photos. Both are equally gorgeous, and I hope if you were out and about (even if it was to the clinic), it means you are getting better.

    Der Herbst sieht so leuchtend aus was bei mir nicht so recht ist die Blätter sind eher wie so vertrockene welkigen bräunliche nur der Weinrebe sind so schön rot mehr. Der Wind bläst alles herum das ist lustig wenn ich da durch gehe!Die Baumallee ist so wunderschön an zusehen mit diesem Blättermeer!

  4. I am impressed with your DT-piece and nice that it fits Elke's theme as well -thank you for joining in again and the lovely Beatrix Potter tag is really cute! Your handy photos look fabulous on the screen here - even more impressive than the everyday camera images .

  5. I like the crows, and the feathers is a nice touch. Another charming tag. Love Peter Rabbit and the rest of his family. Beautiful walk. I especially love the pictures of the blue sky through the tree branches.I can almost hear the crunch of the leaves as you walk along. Hope you're feeling better.

  6. Love the canvas texture, feather and all. Beautiful combo. And of course Peter and company, my buddies! It's far more fallish where you are. We've barely seen a red branch, much less a full tree. It looks beautiful.

  8. I think it looks more autumn in your world than it does here in mine. I love autumn and how pretty your photos are. nice art too. You have once again reminded me to do some printing on fabric which I haven't done in ages. It makes such a great texture. And how can you not love the Beatrix Potter images. Happy Wednesday. I guess you are well enough to be out walking to the clinic? Hugs Erika

  10. I love Beatrix Potter! You captured the crows perfectly, even the description of their voice, harsh and rasping.
    You live in such a pretty area!
    Hope your day is filled with sparkle.

  11. I really like how you incorporate a feather or two into your art pieces featuring birds. For additional texture, it would be kinda cool if you glued a seed into the open beak. :)

    It looks like autumn is in full swing there. We're still waiting... But at least it's been cool enough most nights to open the bedroom windows, so we're on our way.

  17. Your post has a real Autumn flavour about it today Valerie. Such gorgeous deep shades of Autumn indeed.
    I love the collage with its feather addition, and the tag is so sweet :D)
    Aren't the Hydrangeas lovely as they fade and get those dapples on their leaves.
    Beautiful avenues of trees with their golden, brown and red leaves.
    It seems you might be up to and are enjoying being outside once more. Hope so, cheers :D) xx
