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 

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

October Blessings...

Hello everyone, 

I hope you all had a good weekend?

I'm sharing another page at Art Journal Journey 
for my Favourite Colour is October journal theme. 

Displaying the spectrum of colour October blesses me with. 
Based around an image from a 6x6 paper pad, It's been extended using 
watercolour, pen and pencil adding a fussy cut red fox and squirrel. 

Sadly our native red squirrel is a rare thing in the UK 
but the Grey Squirrel I see daily, foraging in the grasses, 
running rings around the tree's or shaking my bird feeders..  


Acorns and layered Fungi the great communicators of the forest, 
caretakers of plants and tree's. Waiting for those leaves to fall 
ready to break them down to create food for ground feeders 
and insects, enriching the soil once more..

Nature it never cease's to amaze me..


Take care everyone 
Stay safe & creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

My Favourite colour is *October* ~ Art Journal Journey Guest Host

 Hello Art Journal Friends. 

What a pleasure to be Guest Host 
Thank you to the team for having me.

My choice of journal theme for you this month is 

In the UK Autumn is in full swing as nature prepares to slow down. 
Giving us her final burst of colour, this of course may/will change 
depending on whether you live in the Southern or Northern Hemisphere. 


Use her colours to inspire your pages just as I was by this Autumnal 
leaf napkin. Pasted upon layered scrap paper, book pages and lace awash 
with watercolour extra napkin leaves are fussy cut and scrunched. 


A machine stitched pocket with three little buttons display colours 
like natures traffic lights and bare a worthy sentiment for the Season. 


So I ask you to share what you see around you during October, 
you may be surprised by what it presents if you take a closer look. 

I'm really looking forward to seeing your 

Until then, stay safe & creative 
Tracey xx
