Autumn feelings

Hi Everybody!

I am slowly feeling a little better, but my energy levels are

still very low, so I am trying to take things a bit easier

just now. I did manage to make some tags and a journal page

though, but to balance it out I left out the house**rk.

Sooner or later things will hopefully be back to normal.

It's a cold, wet and stormy day here, so good weather for staying

home, reading and playing!

Here I made an A3 mixed media piece. The background was

brayered with yellow, ochre and orange, and then sprayed with

acrylics in red and yellow. I stamped into it with my scroll stamp

while it was still wet. The crow was painted using my home-made

crow stencil. The black looks rather bluish, sorry, but I

needed electric light as it is so dark today. The rest of the 

background was stenciled in Adirondack espresso and Archival

black.

I am linking to Paint Party Friday, Elke's 'landscapes of the soul'

theme at Art Journal Journey and to Country View Crafts, 

mixed media with autumnal hues

This fun mixed media tag is meant for Simon Monday Challenge,

a walk on the dark side, and Tag Tuesday, all creatures great and small.

Here the skellies (Sizzix die cuts) are taking a walk on the

dark side. The background was painted, brayered and given a coat 

of hologram varnish. The owls were punched; the bats are

also a Sizzix die cut:

The pre-dawn photos were taken a couple of weeks back:

These photos were taken in the garden where I live:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Shades of autumn

Hi Everybody!

On the 5th of each month we start a new challenge at

More Mixed Media Monthly.

Our themes are always anything goes, with an optional

colour choice, which is orange this time round.

I used an image from Gecko Galz, which I printed onto canvas. 

I distressed the edges and sewed it to  layers of cardboard

and DP, adding some webbing and a feather. I love the autumn

atmosphere in this one, and am listening to the crows'

harsh, rasping voices as I write this. I am also linking to Elke's

'landscapes of the soul' at Art Journal Journey.

For Wilma's lovely challenge at Tag Tuesday, all creatures great

and small, I have another Beatrix Potter tag:

I took the photos with my phone on my way to the clinic this week:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T Stands for This and That

Hi Everybody!

Tomorrow we are staring a new challenge at

Tag Tuesday - all creatures great and small, hosted by

our lovely Wilma. I hope you will have time to join us in the next 

2 weeks. I have just been doing digital crafting this time, as I

have not yet been well enough to get back to the grind.

'All things bright and beautiful' is the first line of an English 

children's hymn. My first thought with 'all creatures great and small' 

was Beatrix Potter, and her famous and lovable creatures:

For Elke's challenge 'landscapes of the soul' at

Art Journal Journey I made a digital piece using images from 

Mischief  Circus, Serif and me. I am also linking to Digitally made,

Halloween or use.....purple:

Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a big welcome 

to all of the ladies of the T group. My drink is usually coffee, but

lately I was feeling so bad I didn't even want my coffee - that

is a bad sign!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
