Leaves

 

Once again, Blogger has blocked me from leaving comments.  It is very frustrating and I am trying to leave comments in e-mails, which is both time consuming and sometimes futile.  Please be aware, I will leave a proper comment when Blogger gets off my case and lets me publish comments again.

I'm once again at Art Journal Journey joining Alison/Craftytrog, whose chosen theme is Autumn Colors and InspirationI am also joining where their theme is.Try It On Tuesday Autumn Magic

For obvious reasons, I've named this Leaves.  I dried all the leaves you see in this assembly.  I have detail images below.






I started with a sheet of bright yellow 90 lb. cardstock to which I added the assembly.  I first positioned the three large leaves on the page, then glued them in place.  I then colored the corrugated cardboard with brown dye ink.  When dry, I adhered it to the page.  I had a piece of the cardboard left over, which I positioned near the top where I knew the tag would be.  It provided the stability I needed for the tag.  While waiting for the ink to dry on the cardboard, I added leaves I had previously dried to the tag I found in my stash.  Several of the leaves were quite brittle and tore when I glued them to the tag.  Before I scanned the assembly, I positioned the string behind one of the leaf stems.

Bleubeard and I are so glad you dropped by.  We also hope you will join us at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Autumn Colors and Inspirations and Try It On Tuesday's Autumn Magic.


EDIT:  I don't understand how 's theme got mixed up both places.  It should read:Try It On Tuesday

I am also joining , Try It On Tuesdaywhere their theme isutumn Magic. A

Not sure why this isn't working.  It's putting letters and words in the wrong places.

Now that's a good idea - I saw some lovely leaves in Preston and now wish I had picked some up from the pavement. Next time I go I will remember to get some and then I can use them like this.
Lovely autumnal page Elizabeth.
Hugs, Neet xxx

I really like your work but, oh. Blogger now really sucks! I often get "Comment can´t be published", too, but after a while blogger is "nice" and gets it through. Mixing up titles is a new level. Please don´t give up. You and this community is so important! When I was without job you really helped me through. I thank you for that!!!
