Fog

 

EDIT: I appear to once again be unable to publish my comments.  Blogger has decided to strike again.  You will see my comment to you once blogger stops being angry at me. 

I want to once again thank my dear friend Chris, whose blog is PearShapedCrafting, for being such a great host in March.  We will definitely be inviting her back next year.

We now introduce a new host as we do each month.  This is also a first time host and we are delighted to introduce Gillena, whose blog is Lunch Break.  Many of you know Gillena because she hosts Sunday Smiles and Art For Fun Friday.  She lives in St. James, Trinidad.  Gillena's theme for April is Trees are Awesome, Aren't They?

Also, beginning today and continuing through April 22nd, I will recycle, reuse, or repurpose something to keep it out of the landfill.

I named this first entry Fog.  Details are below.
 


As you can see, the deciduous tree in the foreground overshadows the evergreens shrouded by the fog.  The focal image found in my stash, is surrounded by recycled security envelopes.  I love using them because the patterns are all so different.
 
Please remember we welcome art journal pages that meet the theme requirements, altered book pages, canvases, loose, or stand alone pages including fabric and digital art.  I (and the administrators) cannot leave comments on Facebook, TicTok, or Instagram entries.  We do not allow cards!!!  Period! We also don't allow tags, index cards, ATCs, or ATCoins, unless they are part of a journal page, and as much as we don't want to, will be forced to delete your entry.  Please remember if your blog is not in English, we ask that you translate it for us since the translation tool doesn't work on some blogs, including mine.  Finally, we do not allow back-links to any journal page published prior to the start date of this month's challenge. Hope to see you and your Trees are Awesome, Aren't They? inspired art soon at Art Journal Journey.
 

Thank you beyond belief for visiting today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Trees are Awesome, Aren't They?

Oh, I love fog! When I drove to Wolfsburg to work I often stopped in the village on the bridge and enjoyed the foggy view - I miss that! Here in the city we near to never have fog... Love your work.

...fog can add a touch of magic if you aren't driving.

We have fog at my house right now. And lots of spindly trees since we don't have leaves yet. I love this big tree in your post, and the fog too. It's almost spooky. If there was an owl or raven sitting on one of the branches it would be. Have a super start to the new month my friend. hugs-Erika

It's full mystery when fog is around and how it can conceal so many things, my dogs nose works harder than ever when we go on foggy walks. Gillena's theme is a great one for April.
Sending Easter Blessings your way & I hope the fog soon lifts on your blog issues. Hugs Tracey x
