In the Northern Hemisphere, change is in the air as nature begins to shift gears

Autumn is arriving slowly here in Northern Virginia…..no leaf peeping to be done quite yet…..
this clematis is celebrating its last hurrah with one last bloom
skiddish, these big black crows visit the back garden announcing themselves with their loud CAW CAW CAW…..they never let me get very close, before they fly
here is a wool hanging I designed several years ago when I was still playing with boiling, dying and felting old wool skirts…looking at this on screen I can see where it could use a little something added….is anything EVER finished?
Over the weekend I created this three by three inch canvas with silk leaves, wonderful rickrack (bought it in so many colors, can’t wait to get more) and an acorn cap, celebrating fall with one of my favorite images
I turned the canvas over and worked on the back of it using a Pentel Metallic Brush pen to edge the leaves and color the acorn cap
