If you have been here earlier in the week, you will know that I am still away in France, having a magical time. It is just so beautiful here, hence the title of this post. While here I am working on a nature journal.
In my last post I showed some foxgloves, there are many growing around here and for some reason they fascinate me. So here is another page that features them among other things.
Anyway, here are some close ups, warts and all:
 |
| Here I warmed the foxgloves up a bit more, probably a bit too much.... |
 |
| Some stamped butterflies, I think it's a Crafty Individual stamp... |
 |
| hand painted Margeritues, they went rather wonky |
 |
| From a Tim Holtz set |
Hope you are having a good and creative time where ever you are, thank you for visiting and see you next time.

I am loving seeing these pages Astrid, it's the artist in me that just adores the mix of hand drawn, painted and stamped images. You incorporate them all so well. What a antacid journal you will have.
Enjoy the rest of the break.

Loving your latest nature page Astrid, you are going to have a wonderful journal of your holiday when its finished, x
Once again Astrid I am drooling. I sooo love these journal pages you are creating, they are just incredible. I think this one might be my favorite too. So much detail and I looooove your drawing. Hand drawing can sometimes look so stiff but yours is really free and natural. I love it all!! Hope you enjoy the remainder of your holiday. ox
I really would love to be a fly on the wall and watch as you create Astrid. This is just stunning as always .... the way you have melded the stamps in with the image is awesome!
Stunning! You must be in a very beautiful environment to be so inspired

Stunning Astrid I think this is my favourite so far too! And my Margaritas look just like that; they aren't a perfect flower when once they have fully opened so they are great. I love the foxgloves too!
