Time changes Nature


With Gill's theme of Natures Wonders this month over at 
I have been thinking about how,  'time, ' plays a large part in natures cycle,
 as well as in our own lives.

This page started its life in 2010



One of the very first altered pieces I created .
It still hangs on my craftroom wall, all these years later, the colours fading  a little
 from the light and the sun . 
It was a mirror from a well known
 Scandinavian store.
For the photo I had to cover the mirror with a piece of card.
Time...
It doesn't stand still.
It waits for no man
and nature changes our world
 with each passing day.





Here it is now, at the start of its digital alterations.
I added 4 small photos to center, trying to represent the  Seasons of the year.
Of course the birds had to make an appearance,
their song is something I love to hear.
Ending up with some simple  green foliage,  showing for me,  that nature is around us everywhere, if we take the time to look, explore and enjoy..

Thank you for calling in to see me today,  you are very welcome here.

  2. Fantastic page, love how you have used your lovely creation to make the background, and all so true - time passes - sometimes too quickly - and changes nature and we change, too, as I see when I look at all my wrinkles in the mirror! Thanks for another great entry for AJJ Yvonne, hugs, Valerie

  7. I was very, very impressed with this wonderful spread. I felt so close to this one, possibly because of the time theme, or maybe the birds. Regardless, it spoke to me more than you will imagine.

  18. The original piece is beautiful, but what you are doing to change it in 2016 is beautiful, too. I cannot imagine the time and thought that had to go into this creation in 2010 and 2016. Awesome work. genie

  20. It's such fun seeing how you combine real world and digi crafting. Your panelled frame is already gorgeous, and then it looks so lovely set in to the natural world in the digi version.
