Halloween is on its way....

Hi Everybody!

The witching time is coming nearer and nearer so I need to share some spooky pieces. Are you brave enough to enter this enchanted forest where lots of eyes are watching you and hands waiting to touch you? This is an A3 mixed media piece, using a paper napkin for the bottom part and acrylics, pastels and die-cuts. The trees just sort of drew themselves....

I am linking to Paint Party Friday and  Rain's Art Date (Jack o'lanterns)

And I have another tag for my 'anything goes' challenge at Tag Tuesday, where one lucky person can win a prize. This tag was made using 2 of my own photos and some elements from Serif:

And some more autumn photos:

The street where I live:

Early morning:

Huge fungi which covered a whole tree stump:

A late rose:

And tiny toadstools growing between the cobblestones:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Midweek post- the witching time is coming nearer

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another tag to share for my anything goes theme at Tag Tuesday.

This time I used an image from Gecko Galz, which I sewed onto 2 pieces of matting. The little dog belonged to my great Auntie Fanny when I was a kid. The witch's hat and broom are die cuts (Sizzix), the little bats and pumpkins were found in my autumn bit-box:

An older hybrid  journal page, using elements from Serif and me, which I have altered and updated:

The heron often goes fishing in the stream that flows by here - much to the annoyance of the ducks, who try to mob him away:

Perhaps that's why he always looks a bit grumpy:

The Nile geese are also frequent visitors:

Ducks of all sorts love the stream and lakes, too:

The hawk scares the pigeons away, but often gets mobbed by the crows, who evidently don't like him:

The cormorant drying his feathers, the seagull was watching:

My balcony black-bird - these photos were taken through the glass, so are not really clear - perhaps I should try cleaning the windows!

Storks don't really live around here, so I always wonder where they come from. The freshly ploughed earth is always good for feeding:

A reproachful look - perhaps the feeder was empty?

Always busy looking for food:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
