T stands for FrighT NighT

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at

Try it on Tuesday - Halloween.

As always, projects of all formats are allowed and you have

2 weeks to join us with your  spooky and chilling creations.

Hope to see you haunting us!

I made an A5 mixed media piece. The image is from

Gecko Galz and was printed onto canvas to give

a nice texture. I layered DP and recycled black

cardboard, held together with lot of sewing. I distressed

the edges with gilding wax from Pentart in incandescent green. 

The bats (Sizzix die-cuts) were also similarly distressed.
I am also linking to Art Journal Journey, Elke's lovely
'landscapes of the soul' challenge

Today is also Elizabeth's TSFT, so a hearty welcome to all

of the nice ladies of the T gang. My drink is coffee, and I'm

pleased to say that I am enjoying it again!

Help yourselves to a slice of poppy seed and cinnamon cake:

Some mornings were sunny:

On some days we had autumn mists:

I think the seed-heads are even nicer than the flowers:

 The horses are well wrapped up against the chilly days

and cold nights:

Autumn colours are prevalent:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Autumn and Halloween

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend is going well. I had a girly afternoon 

yesterday with a couple of friends, and had a quiet day today

to make up for it. I am feeling almost back to 'normal', but not

quite, so I am still taking things easy.

I made an autumn tag. The BG was distressed with DIs and

oxide inks. The leaves were stamped using some 2 part stamps

from Lavinia. The sentiment is from Hampton Arts. The dots and 

spots were stenciled. The embellishments were gathered here

in the hedge in front of the house and tied together

with string. I am linking to country view crafts, mixed media 

with autumnal colours:

For Elke's lovely 'landscape of the soul' challenge at 

Art Journal Journey I have used one of my recent

moon photos to create a Halloween view from my window,

using elements from Serif, Algera and me:

This raven is always hopping about on the tram rails. I suppose

he finds a lot of crumbs there:

We had another wonderful moon yesterday, today was cloudy so there 

was nothing to see:(

And some photos from out and about some weeks back:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Autumn weather

Hi Everybody!

Today I have a hybrid piece for Elke's 'landscape of the soul' theme

at Art Journal Journey, once again using photos of

my family:

For Tag Tuesday, all creatures great and small,

I have a large tag with a painted and stamped background, the stags

were punched from black recycled card. I am also linking to 

Paint Party Friday:

Last night we had a fab moonscape, with dark clouds scudding by,

but unfortunately neither bats nor witches:

Today was cloudy/windy/rainy/ sunny day:

Have a great day, take care

and thanks a lot for coming by!
