Autumn leaves

This page, created in my Coll-AH-ge Too altered book, was inspired by Valerie, this month's host at Art Journal Journey.  The colors of Indian Summer were used to create this entry.

The background is a wet wipe I got at the grocery store, passed out so we can clean our cart handles or hands after handling food.  They are much thinner than baby wipes and dry quickly.  I colored it using bits of paint.  The leaves were cut from the background left over from yesterday's page I created for Bleubeard.

Originally, I intended to write "Autumn leaves us breathless," but you can tell I didn't leave enough room.  I had to come up with a shorter word, so thought a bit of humor was in order.

Thanks go to Valerie's wonderful theme at Art Journal Journey and it's where you'll find me today when I can sneak away from my company.  Materials I used include a wet wipe, leaves from a background, a stem cut from two pieces of patterned paper, red paper, lavender paper, and a Micron pen.  Thanks for visiting.  I appreciate it.

Don't forget it's nearly time to be thinking about your Second on the 2nd.  Any post, any genre, any subject matter you want to bring back for a second look is acceptable.  Everyone is welcome to participate.
