Hi Everybody!
Another week has sped by and it's Friday already - where did the time go? I ask this question every week, and never have an answer!
I am showing another spread in my journal, made this week at art group. I used a Jane Davenport tissue, adding colourful splatters, splodges and spots with water colours to the opposite page to coordinate. The birds were stenciled with a Diane Reavley stencil. I am linking to Paint Party Friday:
And I have an autumn tag. The image is from Gecko Galz and printed onto canvas. I used some natural dried plants and some fabric leaves embossed with Frantage white. The feather was picked up on one of my walks:
And I have more of the old houses from Neviges which I visited last Sunday. You can see the other photos here and here:
The space between the houses is about 2 feet wide:
I will show more photos next week.
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
wow,fantastische seiten und ein tolles tag,gefällt mir mega gut.
ReplyDeletewo bekommt man diese tollen jane davenport tissues??
schöne bilder wieder,toll die häuser mit den schönen blumenkästen.
ein wunderschönes we,liebe valerie.
hugs jenny
Ich hab sie über Amazon bekommen
DeleteI love both pieces. The journal pages are so happy and colourful, just the thing on this grey, damp morning. And the nature tag is fabulous, love the owls, and the natural additions, you always do that so well. Makes sense to use what you find outside instead of buying stuff, and it looks so good! Have a great weekend, we're off to visit my sister and her family. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteValerie I admire your interesting photos, they are just interesting and amazing to my kind of living and open my eyes as the homes and building are something I have not seen here. I guess they are around somewhere here.
ReplyDeleteI adore your mixed media pieces and love the Jane Davenport tissue and the spats going on. She has some fabulous gear to use.xx
Your journal pages are amazing Valerie and I love the pops of colour and the face is fabulous x I adore your sweet owls and of course your photographs are amazing xx
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend and thank you for your visit and comment xxxx

Love your pages and the mixed media creation is great. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteBoth your journal spread and your tag were amazing. Loved the way you used the flowers, leaves, and feather.
ReplyDeleteThose home are out of this world. I was most interested in the homes that had the flower boxes in their windows, especially the ones that had them on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
What a beautiful place to visit. I love the flower boxes and the colorful blooms growing in them. It feels so "old world" as we would say over here in the "new world". And gorgeous art today. Jane Davenport has some great images and color tissue, doesn't she? I haven't really seen her things here. And I adore the owls. Perfect for fall. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWonderful journal page - vibrant, full of life. I adore your tag. The Autumnal colours are great. Love seeing your photographs. Foreign lands always seem so much more interesting compared to views we see day in day out.
ReplyDeleteStrange, I always think that when I go somewhere else, too!
DeleteI do love those collage papers, so addictive. Your journal pages are beautiful Valerie just as the tag is, the print on the fabric is superb.
ReplyDeleteThose little houses are like something out of a fairy tale, i'd love to own the smallest of them all and live in it on my own hee hee!
Have a super weekend & Thank you for all your precious comments.
Hugs Tracey xx
Gorgeous spread and canvas tag, love the photos of the town, so artistic and full of colour.
ReplyDeletebeautiful journal spread, love your sweet owl art, and enjoyed all the wonderful photos too! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful page spread with such vivid colour contrasts and dreamy images. The little owls are adorable, in great earthy autumn colours. I love seeing the pictures of the old houses and, also, how blue is that sky?! Glorious!

Love your use of color. The pages are very well done. One flows into the other effortlessly. Perfect design. The tag is amazing. Love the fact you used canvas. The design and subject matter are perfect. What can I say that has not already been said about your photography. It is a subject close to my heart. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove, Hugs and Blessings

ReplyDeleteThe owl piece is stunning! I love the earth tones and the woodsy feeling that I get...wonderful!
Your fantastic and lovely photos remind me of a storybook town...I would feel like I lived in a place of magic with all of these beautiful buildings~

It really is a great place, and I love the tradition here of having window boxes full of flowers everywhere.
DeleteWhat fabulous pieces Valerie, I love the Jane Davenport tissue lady and the gorgeous background you've given her. Your tag is fabulous too, I always like a bit of Frantage. Your photographs are amazing, what a beautiful place and those blue skies are awesome. Have a very happy weekend, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue. Frontage is a great toy!

Lovely journal page! I like how you did the background behind those birds. And I love how you used the cardboard for your mini canvas. Happy PPF!
