2nd on the 2nd and more

Hi Everybody!

November got off to an appropriate start, cold,  grey and very wet. That seems to be the trend for the next few days, although it should be getting a little warmer, too, so it's not all bad. Still, what do we expect - it's November!

For Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd I am sharing some journal pages made back in 2016 with the theme of light and darkness, as I find this very suitable for this time of year when the days are getting shorter and the nights longer, making light so important for us:

And I have one more tag for my challenge at Tag Tuesday, anything goes. The image is from Gecko Galz and was printed onto canvas, which I fringed at the edges and sewed to a recycled card background:

Some Halloween decorations on the street where I live:

A cold and frosty early morning:

I love the beauty of frosted leaves and plants, even if it makes my fingers very cold taking the pics:

On Sunday  I visited my friend Nelya, and enjoyed the views  walking home over the bridge in the evening:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Halloween and more

Hi Everybody!

Okay, I must admit, this time I have gone completely overboard with Halloween, but will start afresh on November 1st and hope to be back to normal by then!

This hybrid piece was made with a painted, dripped and doodled A3 background, which I then digitally altered using elements from Serif and Mischief Circus:

Same technique here. A painted, collaged and glittered background with digital additions from Serif - once again, I had great fun with this one!

And I have another tag for Tag Tuesday, once again with a Halloween theme:

And last but not least some of my Halloween pieces from previous years:

I am linking to Tag Tuesday, Rain's Thursday Art Date and Paint Party Friday

And now, back to sunny hours walking around the beautiful lake in Xanten:

The path along the east side of the lake reminded me of an old Roman road:

Water-skiing:

A Roman watchtower:

From the end of the lake we could just see the cathedral in the distance:

And back at the windmill in Xanten which was near the spot where the car was parked:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
