If you want to find out what on earth is going on, then you'll need to hop over to PaperArtsy to see exactly what's been sprouting overnight. Thanks for stopping, and for hopping. I'm squeezing in a couple of bits of art journalling over this weekend, so I'll hope to see you again soon!
Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly
Our toes, our noses
Take hold of the loam,
Acquire the air.
From Mushrooms by Sylvia Plath
If you don't mind hopping to see the full page, I'd love to join in at Try It On Tuesday where they have the lovely theme of In my garden there is... a fairy ring of mushrooms, of course
love this Alison!
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful mushrooms and the wonderful words to accomplish your creation. Have a good weekend, Alison. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteyou've caught my interest. The sneak peek looks fabulous! Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI love how each mushroom was colored and decorated a bit differently. I think a summer meadow worked even better than autumn would have. I think the pale lavender was perfect, and the text background was a perfect substrate. This was a truly lovely spread. I was SO impressed with your stamped words, too. That always scares me if I have to form a word with letters. Super job and wonderful use of those stamps.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's wonderful Alison. Thank you beyond belief for joining us at TioT with your amazing art.

Such fabulous pages! Such wonderful stamps, I love your field of mushrooms and the words that you chose, as always, are perfect 😁. Happy weekend! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteBeautifully delicate spread, Alison, with some of my favourite things - shrooms! I love them all, every single shape, colour and size, and used to go out specifically to photograph them. No matter how outlandish our depictions of them, they probably exist in real life ;-) Love the text background and the delicate colour and wording. They may sometimes be unobtrusive, but they are SO varied.
ReplyDeleteThank you for playing in our 'In My Garden...' challenge at Try it on Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteLovely and clever take on this theme.... I adore the idea of a fairy ring, and you've quite conveyed that! xxx Lynn
ReplyDeleteOh I love your mushrooms Alison, and of course the words fit just perfectly. I must agree I'm not ready to give up on Summer yet either. Have a very happy weekend, Sue x
ReplyDeleteGlad you kept the summery colours, I'm sad just thinking about the end of summer! I love the background you created, a beautiful page, Alison.
ReplyDeleteI have been over to see your wonderful layout, it is so beautiful! I love how you turned the flowers into mushrooms and the background you created definitely reminds me of a slightly misty and dewy late summer morning. Superb! Anne xx
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that poem but did recognise what it was about! Oh! and we used to grow Mushrooms and that is exactly it!! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteSorry! How rude of me not to say Thank you for joining us at Try It On Tuesday with your lovely calm garden! Chrisxx
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful, Alison
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at TRY IT ON TUESDAY
Just had a closer look over at PA, a really beautiful serene journal spread and it makes a lovely change seeing mushrooms not in autumnal colours.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking this to our In the Garden challenge at TioT.
