What does September mean to me...

It means cooler mornings, darker evenings, but temperatures still in the high 90's to 100's.

Also with Gothic Fairy Children
pumpkin from my own stash
I adore art with magic and gothic flair...I adore the feel of deep, dark magic...things that go bump in the night...the weird, unusual and at times unfortunate.

Cracks in the road

A broken road lies ahead
a destiny unfilled.

So many feelings left unsaid
many things lost along the way.

So many things fallen through the cracks.

Lovers lost, friends forgot,
a broken road filled only with space.

I stepped away...

from the computer. For just a bit. And created my very own paper with card stock, gesso, pages torn from old books, stamps and ink.


Once the paper was made, I scanned it in. Then I added photos from Everything Vintage and journaling. Font is stamPETE.

It was wonderful getting my hands dirty!

Joy!  

That is a good word to describe this creative process.

Discovery!  

Thats another good word.

A few years ago I used to scrap with paper (now I'm all digital). I was never satisfied with my work, always falling short of the image I had in my head. But Art Journaling with paper, non-digial, or hybrid as I did above. WOW! I am very happy with the results. I'm working on another now. It will be a few days before it is ready. I hope I'll get satisfactory results again. So far, so good!

Come on in...

would you like me to pour you a glass of Ed's Red?  Its a Texas native!  Its a little on the sweet side, but not too much.



Sit back, unwind.  Put your feet up. I don't mind.


How about a salad too?  Ed's Red goes great with it.
Yum...cherry tomatoes, purple onion, fresh mozzarella
and pepperoncini!  A touch of zesty Italian dressing
on top...mmmm.  A nice evening snack to tide us
over before dinner.
