Hi Everybody!
I had a great day today, and visited friends in a neighbouring town. I travelled by tram and bus, and enjoyed it. And the made delicious scones especially for me, some with strawberry jam and some with cheddar cheese, yummy!
The piece I am sharing today was inspired by the fun mark-making lesson from Holly McLaughlin. I really enjoyed creating various layers of marks on a pre-painted background, then I added a layer of collage and lastly my quirky girl:
This piece was made inspired by the lesson from Leaca Young, where we made little packages of various papers and topped it with painted leaves and flowers with positive intentions. The pocket was made from designer paper and sewed together. I have made a heap of these pieces, they make great collage fodder!
I am linking to Paint Party Friday .
Some October photos:
And some funnies:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Lovely art and October photos! Enjoyed the memes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine. the first meme reminded me of my Kitty, she always woke me at 6 in the morning!
Deleteoh awesome-thank you for all of the sheep photos-loved them
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to get out and visit a friend-and enjoy homemade treats too.
great art, and loved all the sky photos too-fun memes too-hugs
Hi Kathy, glad you like the sheep, I thought of you when I posted them! I always love it when the are here! It does me good just to stand and watch them! Have a great day!
DeleteI think it is wonderful that you socialized with your friends. Always a feel good picker upper. Love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was wonderful, I have missed seeing them these past months! We had a fun day!
DeleteI like the Quirky girl smile. She looks full of joy.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Thanks, I wanted her to look happy! Have a great day!
DeleteWonderful you could go and visit friends, the scones sound great! More interesting art pieces Valerie, love your girl and the positive intentions pocket is a great idea. Great outdoors photos and nemes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue. It#s great to be able to visit friends again. And I have scones for today, too, yummy!
DeletePretty art pieces and October photos. Nice to see the sheep out in the open. Hi to the fierce looking cat. Lol!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, glad you said Hi to the cat! The sheep are lovely, and they live outside all year round.
DeleteHi Val, good morning! Hope you are feeling okay today, have a rest day, hope it helps ease the pains. Take care, hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, thanks, it's still very painful, it will take a few days to heal. My fault for not being careful! Hugs to all!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun, joyful art page. It made me smile. Your collage pieces are great and so hopeful. Beautiful photos, especially the sky shots. I hope you have another great day. Hugs, Teresa
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa, I had fun with this one, sometimes I just need to be silly! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteIt took me a minute to recognize this was the same taster that Holly prepared. Your quirky girl is SO much better than hers, which seemed either sad or mad. I didn't even look at hers because there was no way I could make anything like she did. However, I really, really like yours.
ReplyDeleteI like what you did with the little pieces you made for Leaca's taster lesson. I didn't have a chance to see it, but I really like what you created. I also have lots of collage fodder that I am sure I could put together, too. Yours was inspirational.
LOVE the sheep. They are simply adorable. And those cats are hilarious, too. Hope you are rested from yesterday, dear.
Thanks Elizabeth. I liked Holly's piece, but it was a bit 'cold' and sad, so I made mine happy. Leaca's lesson was easy to follow and I made a huge pile of little stitched together packets to use on collages, it was fun. As are the cats. My Kitty always woke me at 6 in the morning with little taps to my face which got harder if I didn't react!
DeleteI love your bold use of color and the pocket in your folder. The sheep are my faves!
ReplyDeleteThanks, sheep are always special!
DeleteHi Val, Bill here. Wonderful Art and pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill, have a great day!
Deleteso lovely photos;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy!
DeleteWonderful art Valerie, I love the little collages!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and memes too! Those late lambs are so sweet.
Alison
Thanks Alison, I'm always happy when a Flock of sheep is here!
DeleteBeautiful art Valerie, love the bright colors on your first piece and awesome pocket design on the second piece! Gorgeous photos too!
ReplyDeleteHugs Tammy
Thanks Tammy, have a great day, take care,hugs!
DeleteFabulous post and most gorgeous colours... Love this one. xx
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend. ♥
Thanks Annie, hugs to you and Bella!
DeleteYour quirky girl is beaming Valerie, I can tell you enjoyed working with all those layers a great lesson and your pocket fodder is fantastic. I get very distracted by creating things like this but it's all so lovely and useful.. lovely work.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a good day with friends, it's very good for the soul.
Wishing you a safe and happy creative weekend and Happy PPF Hugs Tracey xx
Thanks Tracey, glad you like my smiley girl! I very much enjoyed making those little packets of collage fodder and had problems to stop! Have a great weekend, take care, hugs!
DeleteLOL cartoons. Luv the quirky girl. Your photographed sky look like paintings from the masters of old.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend. Thanks for dropping by my blog today
Much💜love
Thanks Gillena, have a great weekend;
DeleteI like the grumpy-looking cat. Your October photos are colorful, and remind me how this colorful season will soon be replaced by the muted shades of a dark winter.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I'm trying to enjoy autumn, but Winter ist in it's way!
DeleteI'm jealous of travel by tram and bus :) Our public transportation here is not very user-friendly. I love the atmosphere in these seasonal photos.
ReplyDeleteHere we have a very good network of trams, buses and trains. If you live somewhere on the land it's different!
DeleteWow, two stunning creations. Love the face you created. Have a great weekend. Anesha
ReplyDeleteThanks Anesha, have a great weekend!
