Autumns last smile..

 Happy Sunday everyone, 

How are you all ..?? 

Extra family commitments have kept me away from my creative space 

this month but the extraordinary mild weather has enabled me to 

get ahead with outdoor jobs between work and appointments. 

I discovered my Cosmos and Mallow still in flower, 

as tall as my garden fence still attracting the odd Bee.. 

Orange fungi has taken refuge in my herb pots.. 

I'm no forager so i'll leave them to hide in the shade. 

Which leads me to a double page journal spread inspired by those

glorious Autumnal blue skies, trees stripped bare surrounded by 

a carpet of rusty leaves, it's a breathtaking sight to behold. 

Thanks to Jo 😊 (smile) these die cut distress oxide 

dipped leaves made a grand addition to this baron page..

They gently swept in on the breeze.. 

Being Autumn born, I feel a deep rooted bond to this Season

but as she fades, colder weather and Winter approaches, 

i'll be very sad to see this magical season pass by..

Wishing you all a safe, 

cosy and creative week ahead.

Walk with me..

 Hello creative friends, 

Get your boots on as today I invite you to 

walk with me along the canal side near my home 

as I share another page for my Guest Host theme 

My Favourite Colour is October @ Art Journal Journey.. 

Here's my hand drawn and painted boot, stamped Tree's with die cut 

and embossed leaves striding along the canal bank walking amongst 

crunchy, soggy and often slippery fallen leaves.

Shadows cast on the water make the canal look much wider than it is 

Without those embankment tree shadows the sky and earth would be seamless. 

Each UK season brings something very special but nothing like Autumn, 

nature presents us with glorious golden yellows, orange with hint's of 

ruby red as the many green's start to fade, the illusion of warmth 

as we take a closer step towards Winter.

Wishing you all a safe and happy weekend 

Creative hugs
