Hi Everybody!
Have a great weekend!
I have a mixed media A4 journal page to share today. I used another piece of my African napkin, I still have 2 pieces so can make more. The background was gessoed, sponged with left-over colours and then scribbled over with some Gelatos. The words were stenciled, the leaves die-cut, and I sewed it all to some backing paper. The golden honeycomb pattern was a rub on.
I am linking to Soma's 'wandering camera' and to More Mixed Media, anything goes with optional brown.
And I have some photos from my Thursday evening walk:
And from my walk yesterday morning - signs of autumn are showing:
Lovely skies this morning.
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Hi Valerie what lovely work ,I love your African theme,well done my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove your pics thankyou for sharing them with us ,hope you have a wonderful weekend too my friend xx
Thanks Sheryl!
DeleteGood morning Val! Hope you slept well. We had a bad night, the littl'un had belly-ache and kept us awake, but she seems to be fine this morning. Love your African page with the glorious colours. The gold is a great touch, too, and you have used autumnal colours. Lovely photos, the evening walk looks so peaceful and you always seem to to see things others don't. Have a lovely weekend, we're off to my Mum's again, sigh! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. Have fun at your mum's.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful art just like your beautiful day. Rain is in my world, but maybe sun when I get to Vermont. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika!
DeleteBeautiful page! The hot colours remind me of a sunset and your gold rub-on transfers look amazing and add such lovely detail 😁. Your morning skies with the blues and clouds look wonderful, I could enjoy my morning cuppa watching that view! Happy Weekend! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteLovely post, loving your gorgeous bright page....awesome...xx
ReplyDeleteI could use some of that sunshine and warm from your African page. The hurricane passed well out to sea of us but brought my area windy, grey skies. I'm sad that Autumn is on its way but your picture of the path and bush with red berries is so pretty. Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteGlad the hurricane didn't do any damage where you are. I love autumn, so I'm looking forward to it. I love all the colourful bushes just now.
DeleteBeautiful mixed media page, and lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteYour mixed media journal page is out of this world. I like how you used the napkin, the die cuts, and of course those gold rub ons. Beautifully symmetrical, too. And I adore your wonky sewing. It is amazing how you can put all these disparate items together and turn them into a gorgeous piece of quality art.
ReplyDeleteLoving your photos today. Signs of autumn may be in your beautiful photos, but autumn is nowhere near ready to show itself here, yet. I love the warm colors and bright skies. These are amazing photos today, dear.
Thanks Elizabeth. Photos are fun just now with the beautiful skies and colours everywhere.
DeleteThis is an absolutely Gorgeous Art journal page Valerie !! Loove the beautiful african tissu paper, the colours are lovely, and love the fabulous background you have created, combinating the hot colours, just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing those great photographs from your walks, I´m walking with you :) Enjoy your weekend, and I send big hugss

What a glorious glow to your page with the napkin - it seems to have a heart of fire. Lovely to see those autumnal colours starting to creep into your landscape photographs too... and as always, the skyscapes make my heart lift.
