A for Autumn

I went out in the lovely autumn sunshine and took some pictures of the remaining foliage. I generally don't like autumn much because it means summer is at an end and winter is just around the corner, but I love days like yesterday. 

If you look carefully at the picture you see what I spotted when I took the picture... hence the name. :D

Edited with textures and colour adjustments.

A reinterpretation of another movie poster. This one is inspired by The Fisher King. The quote is from the film. Another of my all time favourite films. I have a thing for underdogs. :-)

I've used my own photographs plus bought textures and some freebie and bought brushes. 

The font is called King & Queen Font.

I am still playing with feathers, not quite sure why, but there is something about them that inspires me. This is a series of images about emotion. The feathers were picked up whenever I saw one lying on the ground, mostly pigeon but there are a couple of blackbird feathers amongst them.

the world in a leaf

A picture of a birch leaf mixed with a map of the world. Leaves travel the world on the wind... :-)

the magic of the leaf

I always felt leaves were magic - the way they begin from simple little buds and then the way they change their colour through the year and fall to the ground to make a rustling carpet of leaves to return on the tree the next spring. Wonderful.

All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. Edited with Photoshop.

I am so pleased with this image - the letters are from a vintage Junior Scrabble the background is as is except that I changed the colour and added more texture, however the arrow and the little peeled off heart were already there. I thought it made the perfect image together.

The recent heavy frosts have allowed me to have some fun with scraping hearts into icy surfaces. The original surface was black so when I mixed it all up it looked like I'd scratched it into glass. :-) I love the intense feel of the first one and the grunge look of the second one. An alternative to all the sweet cards and images, something different and a bit edgy. :-)

There is glory in the colours of autumn; the last burst of colour before winter. This is a celebration of this glory. :-)

This was taken only a few days ago, late in the afternoon with the light fading. Chestnuts with their prickly outer layer and the smooth inside always seemed magic to me as a child. They are the perfect place to keep secret memories. :-)

Teal Deliciousness - Knitting

 

A while back I bought some Malabrigo Silky Merino Lace yarn in Azul Profundo. I made a shrug from it (which I can't show you just yet because I've worn it so often it needs washing.... LOL Yes, I love it!) I bought 3 skeins to make sure I'd have enough, however, I had enough to make a pair of wrist warmers and a hat as well... and there's still yarn left over so I might make a little scarflette just to finish off the yarn... :-) Teal loveliness. My favourite colour. All mine.

However, I have some more of the Malabrigo Baby Lace in other colours, so if you want to order some utterly soft and light wrist warmers with or without a hat, let me know and I'll see what I can do. :-)
