Good morning Sunday, I wanted to make another page for Chris's theme All Kinds of Weather over at Art Journal Journey.
All weekend the weather here has been fall weather-chilly, "raining" leaves and very windy. Since the fall months are my favorite weather (and season) I wanted to make another page with falling leaves-and use my black walnut ink too. I really am enjoying using my handmade ink these past few days. I am again adding my pages to my German cookbook mixed media journal
The larger dried plant images is from an Ideal fall magazine as are the little leaves and the poem.
The orange is a scrap of construction paper
I grabbed a watercolor brush and painted in the little leaves with the black walnut ink
Thank you for stopping by
Kathy you say you made black walnut ink? How did you make it?
ReplyDeleteHello, I did a blog post about it here https://hummingbirdwoodlandstudio.blogspot.com/2021/11/black-walnut-ink-finished-it-up-today.html I also read allot of information online-many similiar ways to make it but many a little different. I am really pleased with mine. If I would have had the time before the weather got bad (make outdoors) I would have boiled down the strained ink by half but it works really well for writing too
DeleteThis is a super spread Kathy. You created a wonderful autumn spread. Autumn is a great time, I agree. And I like how you added those falling leaves too. Thanks for sharing this over at AJJ for Chris' challenge. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and happy new week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeletethank you much Erika Happy new week to you too
DeleteI love how you treated the leaves by painting them in walnut ink. The spread is very autumn inspired with the use of the bare trees stamp and the washi tape. Nice entry for Chris's theme at Art Journal Journey, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth
DeleteYay for the walnut ink. The painted leaves are perfect for a fall journal page. It's good that you got another gorgeous fall page in your journal. Our week doesn't look too bad, but after that it looks like we take another dip in temps.
ReplyDeletethanks our week ahead doesn't look to bad either in the beginning-enjoy
DeleteThe page looks lovely, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteFabulous journal pages, have a great new week, and thanks for joining us at AJJ, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie-Happy new week to you as well-hugs
DeleteLovely, all blend together and fall into place, love the leafless trees. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeletethanks so much.
DeleteBeautiful autumn pages Chris, I loved the leaf colour and the trees with the bare branches made me think of windy days. Thank you for linking to Chris's theme at AJJ.

thank you Yvonne hugs
DeleteThis is a great page for my theme at AJJ. The days are getting shorter, some trees are still trying to hold on to their leaves and it is definitely feeling colder. I love the leaves you coloured with your walnut ink. Hugs, Chrisx
