Hi everyone. It's the end of another busy week. Hope yours has been a good one. We've gone from some warmth to now some chillier than normal weather, at least at night. Brr. Since I scheduled this yesterday I'm not certain but the weather people predicted we could have our first frost overnight.
Today I have several faces for Nicole's Friday Face Off. I'll also be linking a up to Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.
Let me start with a few faces from when we were at Acadia National Park in Maine last month.
These first 2 are some animals we saw on our Friday evening drive. (Here's the post about that drive if you're interested:Acadia national Park part 1.) I was lucky because the fox ran across the road and stopped just under some trees once off the road. The camera was already in my hands and ready to shoot so I managed to get a nice photo of him (or her). This next one is Mr. Pete who thought he might have a bed to himself that night at the hotel. Ha ha. Sadly he didn't get his wish, but he did get a nice snuggle.
Let me finish this post with this creepy witch face art journal page that I recently made in my Halloween journal.
Do you recognize the witch's face? You probably know about the Tragedy and Comedy masks that you often see in theaters.
I stamped a Tragedy mask on some gold metallic paper and then fussy cut it. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the hat, and then to fix the space between the hat and the head I added some grey threads. The threads were actually part of some holiday decor netting you could buy, but I've been chopping mine up for a few years now. I created the eyes by adding in some small flat back black gemstones and them popping a dot of white paint on them.
I finished by adding the wooden kitty (I painted her), some sticker quotes and finally some black design tape along the bottom.
I'm linking this face up to Elle's Steampunk, Halloween or Halloween Steampunk challenge at Art Journal Journey.
That's all for me today. Have a great start to your weekend.

...fox and deer are regular visitors here too!
That fox is so skinny...No wonder Mr. Pete wanted the whole bed for himself :-) So comfy!
Good faces!
Definitely a creepy face. I love the fox -- don't you love it when timing is perfect? And Mr. Pete looks very handsome there!
Gostei de ver os rostos, o rosto da bruxa é de assustar, Érika feliz sexta-feira bjs.
oh my goodness that fox looks SO SCARY! wow incredible and i love your art piece! I love the layers and textures and hair on the face. The words create a story to it too. So wonderful!Have a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend!
you should totally print a picture of that fox and cut him out and add him to an art piece. He is spooktacular! :)
Great page! I especially love the black cat in the top hat. Mr Pete on his bed made me laugh--brings back happy memories. Have a great weekend!
Oh, what a cute, foxy face! Uh, but frost already .... noooo....

Great show of the fox, who doesn't look healthy or happy. LOL Yep Mr. Pete looks pretty darn content to be on the bed. He is a handsome boy for sure. Ohh I love that art and yes, very recognizable. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a very nice weekend.

Aww nice to see Mr. Pete.
Enjoy the remainder of Friday and have a good weekend.
All the best Jan
Wow! That a creepy journal page
Thanks for linking to AFFF
Much♡love
Yeah for cooler evening temps in NH, which are perfect sleeping weather now! We never saw any wildlife on the couple of times we have been through Acadia, so lucky you, Erika.
Those are great photos of faces!!!
Well, you can always try, thought Mr. Pete.
Imaginative journal page on the topic
hugs Elke
Adorable faces especially Mr. Pete. Look at that smile. Are you going to get the heavy rains and winds from the Nor'easter? I better get outside and take pictures of the leaves before they're all blown away.
That Tragedy mask and your loose "mop" threads are genius! First time I think I've ever seen that mask used for Halloween, and how lucky you are to have a stamp that size! I bet it's very old. The oldies are indeed goodies. Great nature photos, too. Hope your weather does what you want it to! Have a good weekend, xoxo
Well done on capturing the animals with your camera. I did recognize the mask.
I like your Friday Faces a lot, all four of them.
Have a good start to the new week.
Very cool art and love your picture shares (especially your sweet dog). Hugz
Wow that fox's tail is amazing! Love your page, the wooden kitty and those cats in the hats on your background. Didn't guess that it was a tragedy mask but I see it now of course. Poor Pete, having to share the bed with the pesky humans. Thanks for joining in with my theme this month, elle xx
I feel sorry for foxes. They have been hunted in England to near extinction. What a great shot of that fox. Pete looks happy, too.
Goodness. That is one scary tragedy witch. Loved the black cat. This is a great entry for Elle's theme at AJJ.
Great idea to use the tragedy mask as a witch page, Erika!
And I love the photos of fox and deer.
Hugs, my friend,
