Tracy loves fantasy journal pages,so I tried my best here.The woman's face is from a yoga journal page.

Fall at the Chicago Botanical Gardens

My brother Rick is the head horticulturist at the CBG,and is in charge of the Fruit and Vegetable Island. Terry and I spent a beautiful few hours out there last week,taking in the fall colors!

Silvery grasses blowing in the breeze

Beautiful colors and sounds

Decorative lettuces

Fall gourds

Gourd & Pumpkin Tower

Love the shadows here...looks like a path in Provence!

Late blooming roses!

Water lilies

Day and Night Gothic Arches

These were both made for a Paper Whimsey swap entitled: Begin the Day...When Nightfall Comes...".What fun!

   

Perfume Lady Nudes

These were done for a swap for Ali's group.We had to use vintage perfume labels and vintage nudes.I loved doing these...I even added leaves for a small touch of modesty!

Vintage Oriental Name Lucky Dip ATCs

These are three ATCs done for a swap on Ali's UK group.You had to choose 3 Oriental names/meanings,and then do appropriate vintage cards using them.I don't know why I like vintage Asian images so much...there's something very mysterious about them!

New Moleskine Journal Pages

Carpe Diem

If only she had know that day what she knows now...what would her life have been like?

Elena's JOD Zetti pages

1. I just finished these 2 pages for Elena's Journal of Dreams...I decided that her JOD was getting just WAY too beautiful and dreamy,and so,decided to shake it up a bit with some Zetti zaniness.Elena is only 1 of several other artists that I know who really "GET" and appreciate Zetti.For me,doing this style of art is really Zen-like...great to do when you are stressed! VERY cheap therapy!

Translation:When Elena drank too much delicious Cuban coffee,her dreams became very weird!

Marie Antoinette journal pages

Finally I've finished tweaking these...since Marita likes my beaded edges,I just  had to do it for her on this! the verse says:When Marie Antoinette was blue,She knew just what to do:she put on her chapeau-papillon,and away she flew!

Sue Scores at Flea Market!!!!

1890's ink bottles,sea glass colored

(out of focus:<):my Flea Find!

I had lots of fun at the Kane County Flea Market on Saturday.....some things I bought included artist's bags of lace,and postage stamps,Bingo pieces and other doodads. I added to my growing collection of sea glass colored old ink wells...BUT,my BIG find was these pocket watch faces!!!Whoo-hooo!the guy really cut me a deal,throwing in 10 free ones! So many of my art journal friends will be getting one on their journal pages!Many of these come from Elgin,Illinois,where I grew up,so that's kind of cool...most are porceline.I was thrilled with this find!
