Hello Everyone! Happy October!
I've been getting back to normal after returning from visiting our daughter in Germany. She is doing a 4 month placement, working for Rolls Royce in Friedrichshafen. As it is near the Swiss and Austrian borders, we went there too, and also Liechtenstein. Lots of lovely mountain hikes, beers and Wiener schitzel!
My Mum and Dad came also, and here's me with my daughter and Mum, up the mountain in Bregenz. I braved a gondola! Lots of people, so very claustrophic for me.
And now here is my October calender spread...
I used a small circular Gel Press plate, with acrylic paint and a skeleton leaf, to create the background.
I painted on the journaling leaves, and the black wording and outlines were made with my glass dip pen and Bombay India Ink. Doesn't the skeleton leaf create a beautiful leaf pattern?!
I'm linking my pages to Eileen's Dreams or Wishes theme at Art Journal Journey.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend,
