Apple Picking Time

 

It's once again time to join Tracey from Hotchpotchcreations, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme is My Favorite Color is October.   

It's time to pick the last of the apples this year.

Let's hope we pick them before the birds get to them.

Let's look at a few photos and I'll try to get rid of the glare.

That's when I realized I had forgotten the sentiment I had created.

 It's called Apple Picking Time, just like the title of this post.  At least I finally got rid of the glare!

Unfortunately, the only red I had was in the pink spectrum, while everything else, including the apples in the focal image were in the orange spectrum of red.

I found this adorable image in my stash.  I intentionally tore lots of paint chip samples different sizes and added brown ink to the edges.  I wanted to make the sizes as different as possible and ended up making them very much the same size.  I affixed the paint chips to the focal image and a sheet of 110 lb cardstock by sewing everything together using variegated thread.  Originally I planned to place the sentiment in the lower right, but in the end, added it in the upper left as shown.

Thank you ever so much for visiting today.  Bleubeard, and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on My favorite color is October.
