October

Alrighty... here we are again for the next Installment of Sarah Coleridge's Twelve Months. This challenge is from The Craft Barn Blog.

It's a simple one for me this month as I've been in and out of the hospital with injuries, etc. Managed to slice a finger on my right hand real bad and had a hard time holding anything. I also missed quite a bit of work along with this. Also now I'm walking with a cane due to another injury. Sheesh! When it rains it pours!

Anyway the part of the poem this month goes like this:


Fresh October brings the pheasant
Then to gather nuts is pleasant


First I put Gesso on the page and used 3 different yellows of Distress Ink.  The background is darker in person.  I used a Tim Holtz die which had a ton of leaves and acorns and cut them out of different colors. I used the paper as a stencil after and put distress inks through them. 
I cut out so may leaves I was able to use them on another Art Journal for another group! I love when that happens!

The pheasant is from an image I printed out from the internet. Simple but to the point.

Two more months and we call it a year....
