A holiday walk and more

Hi Everybody!

We had a public holiday here today - 'The Day of German Unity'. We were lucky that the sun shone and it was milder,  and I enjoyed visiting my friend N and walking along the other side of the Rhine with her.

For our challenge at Tag Tuesday, Autumn / Halloween, I have another mixed media tag, once again using an eclectic mix of natural and found objects. The tag is 10". I am also linking to Simon Monday Challenge, tag it.




For Paint Party Friday I have an A3 mixed media autumn face, also using leaves which were embossed with Frantage and Utee gold:








Some photos taken on the other Rhine side:







The sheep were enjoying the good weather, too:





This fungus wasn't there when we walked the path a couple of weeks back:


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

  10. Your art shines in autumn. You seem to adore these colors and I love what you have done, too. Both the tag and the beautiful face are gorgeous. Reminds me of when you and Susi made all those faces a couple of years ago.

    That tag is wonderful because it has SO many lovely layers. Those paper dolls are a real life saver and fun to position on pages and tags, too.

    BEAUTIFUL walk today. LOVED seeing the sheep and the "downtown" area of where you live.
