It's cold outside!

Hi Everybody!

It's a chilly day here today, which started out with frost and mist. I went for an early walk, and will stay home for the rest of the day, get the laundry done, and spend time in my arty kitchen, cooking and crafting.
I have 2 more pages from my journal, once again using pieces of JD tissues, stenciling, and some collaged pieces.  The background was water-coloured. The sentiment was written by hand:




I am linking to Paint Party Friday

In contrast the cool, grey mist this morning:
















Nature is the best artist, that's for sure!

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

  1. That fog has created some dramatic effects. But it does look a little chilly and a good day to stay home. Your journal page is so bright and cheery with those wonderful colors. Glad the grey day didn't inspire you to stay black and white in your art. I do feel like you got your art flow going for sure! Hugs-Erika

  9. Fröhlich kreative Seiten hast du da gestaltet, die Meerfrau gefÀllt mir besonders. Deine Nebelfotos vermitteln eine geheimnisvolle Stimmung und auch die frostigen Fotos sehen super aus. Hier bei uns war es auch feuchtkalt bis regnerisch.
    Liebe GrĂŒĂŸe
