New Challenge at Art Journal Journey

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Art Journal Journey and this time the lovely Elle of EOTC is hosting. Her theme is Fairy tales, folklore and fables - tell me a story.  It sounds a bit complicated, but Elle has explained it on the AJJ Blog.

I was quite happy with Tam's LB lessson at the beginning of the week, and I altered it a bit to make a butterfly fairy:







And I have some funnies / thinkies for you:





And some sunrise pics:



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

  1. What a stunning first entry, Valerie. I never thought about fairies, so this is a really wonderful painting and great entry, too. I love how you gave her butterflies on her face. This is perfect for Elle's thee at Art Journal Journey.

    I loved the face in the forest and the stables!

  3. Good morning, Valerie. I love your butterfly fairy. You've captured the essence so beautifully. Your second photograph of a green path. Makes me think of a giant eye. Can you see it? Have a great weekend, Deb.

  7. Your butterfly fairy is absolutely gorgeous Valerie, and what a stunning way to start the new month. I wish butterflies were still around, but October has definitely brought in autumn. So if you could send your butterfly fairy my way to bring back a bit of late summer, it would be great. Smile. Happy October. And have a great weekend. hugs-Erika

  11. I want whoever dyed her hair to do mine :) Your sunrise photos are lovely. I don't have a clear line of sight to a horizon from home, so I enjoy yours :)

  12. Your butterfly fairy is gorgeous. Lovely colors. Wow the woodland path reminds of the goddesses you make. I can see the woodland goddess' eye. Have a great weekend.

  13. Love "how the tables have turned" - and the others. Plus your sunsets.
    Also your butterfly lady. I once had a butterfly painted on my face (at a charity event) but I was nowhere near as beautiful as your butterfly lady. She really is a gorgeous creature and I love the words you chose to show with her.
    Hugs, Neet xx
