Hi Everybody!
It's weekend - enjoy!
We've got some good weather forecast for the next 2 days, but after that it will be getting more like autumn, so it will be time to get my warm pullovers and jackets out!
Recently, while clearing out my arty kitchen, I found several A3 journal pages which I had started and not finished. This one is now done, the others will follow. The background was painted and collaged with napkins. I rolled over it with my love-words roller-stamp and used stencils for the birds, people and the sentiment. I added washi tape around the edges and sewed over it:
The following pics were taken in the early mornings this week:
And these pics are from my walk this afternoon:
And a close-up of the beautiful Nile goose:
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
What beautiful skies you have! And oh, how I love the light in that woods!
ReplyDeleteGood evening Val! sounds like you had a good day, and the photos are wonderful. Such beautiful skies and love that grove in the woods, breathtaking! And your journal page is beautiful, as always, love the pastel colours. And the goose is so gorgeous! Have a great weekend, we're off to Mum's tomorrow - no rest for the wicked! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeletePretty journal page. I like the figures discussing their dreams. You have such dreamy skies and scenery. Our weekend weather is going to be warm. I don't want to let go of Summer. Enjoy your weekend
ReplyDelete...and I can't wait for a beautiful autumn! Enjoy your warm weekend.
DeleteLovely sky photos early in the morning, Valerie, and a beautiful duck posing for you again! Your A3 page is GORGEOUS, my friend. You should finish the rest pages you found. Kisses!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pages and fall photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art page you have made. I always enjoy your photos from your walks, there must be hundreds of planes flying over your sky's going by all the vapour trails. Love the photo of the lines of trees and the road disappearing into the distance. Very nice goose photo. Aren't the chest feathers a beautiful colour.
ReplyDeleteThe airport is nearby, we can always do plane spotting!
DeleteYour art is so eclectic! I LOVE it...my favorite photo, by the way is of that big fat duck. He's such a plucky fellow!
ReplyDeleteOooh I do love your pretty flowers and butterfly - the whole piece is gorgeous. Always, the stitching adds that beautifulness to your art Valerie xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous morning sky shots and a lovely walk - how nice for us to share in your happy day xx

DeleteI was on my way out the door, but had to stop and tell you how much I love your journal page. You finished this beautifully. Most impressive.
ReplyDeleteI love the walks through the trees. Gorgeous photos.
I enjoy finding partially done pieces because I look at them with fresh eyes and that's inspiring. This is a pretty piece. The pink is rather romantic. And I would love to walk through those trees. It is so different from the forests we have here. Enjoy your autumn weather. hugs-Erika
