A dwelling place for the soul

Hi Everybody!

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

Art Journal Journey I have a hybrid piece put together

with various elements from Serif and me. I wrote the little verse 

especially for Elke:

For Tag Tuesday, autumn/Halloween I have a digital tag

made using my own elements and artwork:

Some more photos from our trip to Kaarster See:

 

We spotted these friendly animals in a field as we drove by:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T stands for a new challenge at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday -

autumn and/or Halloween.

Tags of all formats are welcome, and I look forward

to seeing your creations in the next 2 weeks.

And good news - we have a new DT member, the very

talented Sandie of Somewhere to be me,

so welcome on board!

I made 2 tags, one for Autumn and one for Halloween, but

you could also combine both themes in one tag.

The first tag was made using a Mucha image from Gecko Galz

on a painted background. I added lots of gold leafing, some 

real leaves which were embossed with gold EP, bits and

bobs of fibres, beads  and a sunflower:

This tag was made from a spare bit of card, which I gave a 

quick coat of paint. I stamped the hat, which, broom and cat twice,

once directly onto the card, and once using Stazon on to

acetate, and placed the images over each other to

give more depth. The bat is a die-cut, the other pieces are

from my stash. I sewed the tag onto a recycled BG:

Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday

so I would like to give a warm welcome to all

of the nice ladies of the T Gang.

We had wonderful weekend weather, and I was able to

sit outside for my Sunday coffee:

Monday morning started off hazy, with just a tiny sliver of moon

high up in the sky:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

More from the autumn fairy

Hi Everybody!

We are enjoying a few days of wonderful weather here,

truly a 'golden October', so I've been getting out as much

as possible to make the most of it. I managed to finish my

autumn fairy. It is an A3 mixed media piece using the 

home-made leaves I showed in my post here.

I am linking to Elke's lovely 'landscape of my soul'

theme at Art Journal Journey, and to Simon

Monday Challenge, anything but a card.

And some more autumnal photos fromThursday's trip to

Kaarster Lake. I found another fairy garden full of

tiny toadstools:

The play of light and shadow on the water always

fascinates me:

Berries galore:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
