While sorting through photographs I came across one of a Hen-n-Chick succulent that I snapped a couple of years ago. Actually, right about this same time of year. The colors were reflecting those of the great outdoors even though they were that color all year long.
Now these succulents aren’t necessarily what one would consider “beautiful” in the classic sense. I do feel that they have a certain beauty especially in the mathematical sense. Or perhaps that would be more of a fractal. I’m not sure anymore other than I know that the pattern is pleasing to the eye.
Once again I have layers upon layers. I started with a piece of scrapbook paper this time. I kind of threw the proverbial “kitchen sink” at this one. I have book page, washi tape, salvaged cardboard that was run through my Cuttlebug, glimmer mists, leather, printed tag, paints, phrase sticker, staples and white pen…oh an let’s not forget the photograph.
My colors fit into the Autumn theme over at Art Journal Journey again. Did I mention I love Fall?!?
Just beautiful! I love how you brought all together so masterly! I can see that you LOVE fall!
Enjoy it – we enjoy the lovely entries you link to AJJ – Thanks a lot Halle!
Happy start of the new week for you!

Another beautiful page for AJJ. I love autumn, too, which is why I chose this challenge. Valerie
Great collage Halle. I like the repeat of patterns, and I do like succulents. Maybe it is their pattern, or maybe it is the fact that they are so unassuming. Hugs-Erika
Wow, you DID throw everything at that spread. It’s a beauty. Right now, I’m in the process of creating a piece that was inspired by one you made earlier. This one is insanely awesome!
I love your artwork – you always create such wonderful textures with all those layers – beautiful! Have a great week! J 🙂
I just love this page and the wonderful succulents! Fall is my favorite time of the year and your art really put me in the mood! Thanks for sharing!!!
I’d love to be able to grow succulents, but they just die. I’ve killed several over the years and just no longer try. That one has beautiful color! 🙂
