Hi Everybody!
Today I have an A5 mixed media piece, using distressed
canvas, corrugated cards and metal foil.
The foil was embossed in a TH folder, and then sanded. I added
the autumn leaves using various colours of gilding flakes. The
beads were sewn on to make some 'plants' along the bottom. I sewed
it all together, as per usual. I am linking to Simon Monday Challenge,
heavy metal, and to Yvonne's lovely 'Colour in my world' theme
at Art Journal Journey, which is now almost over.
I am also linking to Paint Party Friday. Once again, I am happy
that I always have a good selection of not yet shown
creations in my 'store cupboard':

And some more Autumn photos from this time last year:
Thanks again for all the well wishes. I'm still feeling
rather tacky, but I think it's a tad better than it was,
so that's positive.
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Wow - love the foliage on your tree and the amazing metallic sheen of the background layers. Wonderful autumnal photos too - that blue sky is breathtaking. Do hope you feel properly better soon.

That is a gorgeous autumn inspired piece of art you created. I was so impressed that you used an embossing folder to get the tree effect. It is fabulous. And of course, I also like how you layered the piece with the cardboard and pulled it all together with the sewing.
ReplyDeleteI remember when you went to that farm last autumn and all the pumpkins looked so lovely.
Please, please feel better soon. I am very, very worried about you, dear Valerie.
WoW What a gorgeous piece!! I just LOVE the golden, warm colors of this Valerie! And yes, so glad you had something already to share,this so you may continue to rest!

Beautiful mixed media piece the stitches add so much texture and pattern! Yes, it's pumpkin time.
ReplyDeleteDear Valerie, nice to know you're feeling a wee bit better - sending you a great big hug :D) xx
ReplyDeleteYour Autumn Tree art glows with the brilliant colours that season brings. You've captured the essence of everything that nature shows us. It's an inspiring work and is completed so beautifully with those exquisite created bead flowers. So well done, a real joy to see and I keep going back to look at it.
Love all your photos too. It's a real joy to take them isn't it, and then to look back on them.
Really appreciate your post and I hope you have a very Happy PPF and a restful, healing weekend, Sue xx
Oh your mixed media piece is amazing! I love the colors very much. That photo of the pumpkin table is quite wonderful. I hope you continue to feel better.
ReplyDeleteNice autumn tree.The beaded bottom really take it over the top and I love the texture they create. We're starting to get into the season now that it has finally cooled off. Brought all my plants inside when I got home from work. Its that time of year. Hope you are steadily improving. Hugs-Erika
