T stands for FrighT NighT

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at
Try it on Tuesday - Halloween.
As always, projects of all formats are allowed and you have
2 weeks to join us with your  spooky and chilling creations.
Hope to see you haunting us!
I made an A5 mixed media piece. The image is from
Gecko Galz and was printed onto canvas to give
a nice texture. I layered DP and recycled black
cardboard, held together with lot of sewing. I distressed
the edges with gilding wax from Pentart in incandescent green. 
The bats (Sizzix die-cuts) were also similarly distressed.
I am also linking to Art Journal Journey, Elke's lovely
'landscapes of the soul' challenge






Today is also Elizabeth's TSFT, so a hearty welcome to all
of the nice ladies of the T gang. My drink is coffee, and I'm
pleased to say that I am enjoying it again!


Help yourselves to a slice of poppy seed and cinnamon cake:


Some mornings were sunny:




On some days we had autumn mists:




I think the seed-heads are even nicer than the flowers:



 The horses are well wrapped up against the chilly days
and cold nights:


Autumn colours are prevalent:




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

  1. I love your piece. So fun. I had to take a second look to catch the bat hats.
    OMG that cake has me drooling. I'll be right over.
    Someone sure loves their horses and takes wonderful care of them. So good to see.
    YOU, have a pleasant, productive week.
    Hugs,

  4. I like how you created a spooky feel without using the traditional black and orange color scheme. So glad you are able to enjoy your coffee and a little something and we can enjoy the pictures from your walks. The misty rain pictures are eerily beautiful

  5. was für ein Bild für mein Thema,Valerie ich finde es wundervoll die Nacht und die Eulen so was geheimnisvolles und die Machart grossartig!
    Ich bedenke mich und frue mich fürs verlinken zu AJJ.
    Die leckere Mohnrolle und deine intressanten Fotos vom Herbstwetter sind toll, moment bin ich froh kein morgendlichen Nebel zu haben dafür wieder Regnet es seit dem Nachmittag bei mir.
    Lieben Gruss Elke

  8. First of all, I am glad to hear you are getting out and about again. Second of all I love your fall post today. Fright night it very cool. Love the owls and the cloth texture. I also want to try some of that poppy seed roll. It looks yummy. And I think your autumn photos are beautiful. Fall is such a pretty time of year, isn't it? Happy T day and new week. hugs-Erika

  9. Fabulous piece, the owls look so cool in their hats and their expressions made me smile 😁. The cinnamon and poppy cake looks so yummy, I've never had it before and would love to give it a try. Those sunny mornings and flower seed heads are amazing too. Wishing you a very Happy T Day! J 😊

  10. I'm having problems getting your photos to show. There were two of the beautiful owls on the hat that didn't open and neither did the cake. I refreshed THREE times and finally got the cake photo, but not the others.

    I DO like your owls and the bats. It looks like Halloween, but not in a traditional sense.

    What is the frosting on the cake? I really am hungry and even more so, now. It's beautiful and looks yummy.

    I'd have taken some of those seed heads if they were along the road and not in someone's yard. I can see numerous uses for them in mixed media art. Simply lovely, as were the horses and the mist.

    Thanks for sharing your not-too-spooky Halloween art, your beautiful photos, your cinnamon poppy cake, and your cappuccino with us for T this Tuesday. I'm thrilled you are feeling better, too.

  23. I like your bats. I appreciate seed heads as much as I do the flowers. I dob't dead-head mine anymore and they add a lot to my flower bed once the flowers are gone :) The landscape there looks like autumn has come to you. It's still hot here. Happy T Tuesday

  29. Deine spooky Seite gefällt mir richtig gut mit den witzigen Eulchen auf dem Hut der Dame. Das Genähte gibt dem Ganzen die besondere Note. Der Mohnkuchen sieht lecker aus, mag ich auch gerne. Die stimmungsvollen Herbst Fotos sind ein Träumchen, witzig auch das Pferd im Mantel. Die Nebelbilder gefallen mir besonders gut.
    Liebe Grüße
    Sabine😘

  30. Outstanding Halloween piece, Valerie. I love the added texture the canvas gives. It goes well with all your fab stitching too.

    Lovely nature photos once again. You certainly live in a beautiful area.

    I tried to get a shot of a pretty sunrise the other day to share at the T-party. I don't know if it's the camera or me, but I just can't capture the range of colors.

    Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen

  34. I love those owls - a truly beautiful piece of art Valerie! The photos really do sum up Autumn - absolutely gorgeous photos and I agree that the seed heads look beautiful! Glad you are enjoying your coffee again! I had hoped by now that I would have caught up with everyones blogs but I think I am just going to try and keep up for now as I still can't sit for long! At least I can craft standing up! Belated Happy T Day! Chrisx
