Hi Everybody!
Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and our lovely and talented Michele is hosting with the them 'All Hallows Eve'. She has made some inspirational pieces on our blog.
I have a piece using a Gecko Galz image:
Hope to see lots of you joining in! As always you have 2 weeks to join us and tags of all formats are welcome - hope to see you there!
At TIOT our theme is also Halloween, and you have one more week to link your creations to us. I have another A3 mixed media journal page. I am also linking to Chris' 'hold the line' challenge at AJJ:
And some mixed photos from the past couple of weeks, my photo files got muddled up after a Windows update!
The neighbour's crocodile:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by
Hi Valerie oh I love your tag and your mixed media piece ,stunning work my friend,I love Halloween and wished that we celebrated it here like other countries do. Great photos Valerie and boy the alligator looks scary,stay safe my friend xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheryl. I think not much ill be celebrated this year! Have a good and safe week!
DeleteI love it when I have a tag already made. I like yours a lot. Those distorted witch faces are great. And I also love your witch page. That spooky town beneath the flying witch is cool too. Hope all is well and you are having a nice week Valerie. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. We all need some Halloween fun, even if it's only on paper this year!
DeleteSpooky tags and lovely textured page. Lovely fall photos today too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, have a safe day!
DeleteBOOtiful! So festive for the hallows eve time! Love the changing leaves photos and that slug is really quite something - the underrated bug, I'd say, LOL! Beautiful post, my friend! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly. I don't like slugs, but they are somehow wondrous!
DeleteI like both pieces of art, especially that first. And your leaves and territory is looking especially beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, it's a beautiful time of year!
DeleteInteresting tag :) liked all your pictures VJ
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashok, have a good and safe day!
DeleteThanks Laurie, stay well and safe!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Val. Just rolled out of bed here! LOVE those Halloween pieces, the big one and the lovely tag. The witches look like they's waiting for the worst to happen. Great photos, as always. We're going to do some painting this afternoon and make some pumpkins like you showed us!- Have a lovely day, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, have a good and safe day, hugs to all!
DeleteGreat tag and journal page. Looks like you had fun. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThankks Anesha, I did indeed have fun! Have a safe day!
DeleteSuper spookilicious artwork today, love it. That plane coming in to land looks like a Night Fury flying in! Isn't that slug beautiful? I think it's a Leopard slug, looking at the size and the markings.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and well, Deb
Thanks Deb. I don't know anything about slugs, but this one is really a beauty, leopard is a fitting name! Have a good birthday week!
Deletespooky and cool arty stuff today and lovely autumn photos. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie, have a good and safe day!
DeleteGood morning Valerie: Halloween is just around the corner, of course, but the annual trick or treating by children has been officially cancelled by the government of the Province of Ontario due to Covid concerns. I remember the great enthusiasm my daughter had for this annual event when she was little so I can imagine that many children will be disappointed. Parents will have to get creative to ensure that their kids have some kind of Halloween party at home. This damn pandemic continues to snake its way into every corner of our lives, doesn't it? The slug pictured above is a fascinating looking creature. I don't think I have ever seen one so attractively coloured, and certainly it is more attractive than a certain pumpkin-hued politician on this side of the Atlantic, and doubtless more intelligent. Probably with better manners too. I think a theme for one of your tag challenges should be slugs and snails! Think of all the attractive snails shells with whorls and bright colours and the creative opportunities right there. Today I will be leading two bird walks, one for my regular Tuesday group and another for a group of children being homeschooled, whose parents wish them to have some outdoor education. I will take some bird seed with me and they should be able to hand feed the chickadees, always a thrill for children from toddlers to ninety-year olds. Hope you have a great day, Valerie. Hugs from Canada. David
ReplyDeleteThanks David! Yes, that pumpkin headed politician who tricks everybody to treat himself is unfortunately not a Halloween joke, but hopefully, soon gone from the scene. The slug is really beautiful and was long, about 5", I have never seen such a big one. A lot of kids will be disappointed about Halloween this year, this one, too! Have fun with your 2 bird weeks, that will surely be a great experience for the kids. Here the schools are all open, under strict conditions, but I wonder for how long, as the numbers are rising scarily and toilet paper is once again being bought and hoarded....Have a great day, take care, have fun with the kiddies and with the other group. Hugs to you both!
DeleteHmmm, I think you are way too good at spooky Halloween tags Valerie!! I will be seeing those witches in my dreams tonight!! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Give those witches a wave from me when they visit you tonight!
DeleteSpooky tags.
ReplyDeleteThanks Regina! Stay safe!
DeleteI love your header:) And your pieces are fun.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that croc head looks sooo real.
Hope your week is pain free.
Hugs
Thanks Sandra. I had to Look twice,too!
DeleteFun tags. I like the Witches Coven. The crocodile made me laugh as I thought it was quite big. It's a matter of perspective, isn't it? Enjoy your day. 🎃
ReplyDeleteIt always depends on your point of view! Have a safe day!
DeleteLove the tags. The fall photos are wonderful. The essence of fall is well represented with the changing colors.
ReplyDeleteLove, Hugs and Blessings,
Jim
