Let Nature inspire you

Here is the LO I have created for this months Up2Scrap challenge, the theme is... to be inspired by Nature. Vicki Morris has provided the inspiration along with a sketch and a gorgeous page of her own.
Check it out HERE

That's Andrew and Cody in the photo, in the good old days when Andrew was able to move, and make his own cup of tea!!

From Nature I have added my paper leaves, made from real leaves, a real leaf, a duck feather ...

... acorn ends into which I put a drop of Glossy Accents and small beads, to create a kind of flower.

Spot the dried grass that happened to be in our garden. The paper flower was made by inking a page from an old dictionary and punching out hearts from the paper. I squeezed each paper heart together at the bottom point and joined them together.

I added the wire, which I have wound around an old paintbrush to get the spiral effect , and threaded with autumn coloured beads, for a bit of dimension.
I have combined the 'rolling the paper trend idea' from April, and the March trend of embossing from the Up2scrap blog to create the' branch' look boarder under my photo.
And I do not think of 'nature' without a bird or a tree, hence the stamped image and rubons.

Yes, this IS autumn!!!
Here we have kind of spring outside, although the past days were stormy, even with tornados, and rainy, and yet this is spring. And you are deading winter already and create this gorgeous autumn page. How clever you combine real natural things and artwork - and again you made a wonderful page!

Here is my finished latest painting
This one is a hit with all the males who have seen it. I must say that I did not really enjoy painting a truck and it will be a one off for sure! Uncle David is now the owner of this one. Next project on thepainting scene is going to be a fisherman- for my Uncle Graeme who is wanting me to paint him something. Really need to get onto this one!

Finished at last- I think
