Ciao Baby

 Another journal page today that I am linking to Art Journal Journey. This month's theme is architecture, and the hostess is Sheila.  I know the month is winding down but if you haven't checked out the art over there you really should.
 I added this dapper gentleman and this TH Rome stamp buildings strip. I also added the TH movie ticket image and film  stamped images from one of his other set of stamps. I had this little piece of  actual film in my stash along with the orange slide cover. I thought it framed Mr. Dapper's face so nicely.
The background could have been a disaster, as I tried to clean a stencil over a Gelli printed page. but it ended up working out OK for me.
I also had these little dark blue plastic circles from something or another, and I added them since there are some little dots in the background underneath the black arches.
The leaves are really starting to fall around here.This is the farm house I walked down to on my walks. Usually you can only barely see a bit of the house.
Here's the same view from a slightly different angle just 3 weeks ago.
Well it is almost November! Guess nature is doing what it is suppose to be doing.
Have a great day!
And thanks for stopping by my blog.

Another great entry for architecture. Framing the face was the perfect move. xox

What a complex background. My eye kept finding new and interesting images to land on. And of course, I loved the orange slide mount. It fit well with the colors and the mood.

Really enjoyed the photos, too. Yes, I suspect your beautiful trees are now starting to look like mine do each November. Of course, mine skip the beautiful stage, unlike yours!

Rich and inviting piece you created Erika.
Ciao Bella is such a fun phrase too...rolls off the tongue ;-)
Lovely to see autumn in your neck of the woods too.
