Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

Yesterday I had several appointments and the day sped by much too quickly. Hope I get more done today!

I am sharing a very simple piece for Wendy's bird challenge at AJJ. The A4 background was made with a piece of wallpaper from an old sample book. I added some highlighting with a white pen, collaged some white flowers, and sewed it to a white background - finished!





And I have another tag for my 'pets' challenge, with a wonderful quote from 
James Herriot:



Early morning mist and frost - beautiful!

















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

  7. That wallpaper sample is genius. I love how you used it to start your entry. It sure served you well, after you added all the dots and die cuts. And the sewing, too. AWESOME. And your piece didn't even buckle. It's a perfect entry for Wendy's theme at AJJ, too.

    Gotta love the tag. That quote is SO true. I love it.

    Wow, you capture the mist so well. These photos are all stunning. I love them all. Whew, I'm finally caught up with AJJ, Mural Monday, T Tuesday, and AEDM for awhile. I think I'll head to bed now (grin).

    1. Thanks E, you are doing a lot just now. Those old wallpaper books were a wonderful find, so many 'treasures' hidden in there. Have a good sleep and get your strength back. Hugs to the Boys!

  9. White highlighting seems to bring so much to art work, don't you think? A fine, finishing flourish. Your landscapes are amazing, and what a change in appearance over just a few days. Hope all goes well with the appointments.
    Stay safe and well, Deb

    1. Thanks Deb, white does indeed bring a lot on darker backgrounds. Today it was sunny and milder, frost and mist have disappeared. Wonder what tomorrow will bring? Stay safe!

  19. Oh you genius! What a wonderful way to use that wallpaper scrap. I have a big stash of wallpaper, as a friend gave me several sample books that she had in her stash. I may have to get more creative in how I use them. hugs, Teresa

  20. I love the James Herriot quote. Your misty/foggy scenes look quite mysterious. It looks like you've had a hard frost. It's nowhere near that cold here yet.
