Everything has beauty

Last updated : November 19, 2016

While sorting through photographs I came across one of a Hen-n-Chick succulent that I snapped a couple of years ago. Actually, right about this same time of year. The colors were reflecting those of the great outdoors even though they were that color all year long.

Now these succulents aren’t necessarily what one would consider “beautiful” in the classic sense. I do feel that they have a certain beauty especially in the mathematical sense. Or perhaps that would be more of a fractal. I’m not sure anymore other than I know that the pattern is pleasing to the eye.

Once again I have layers upon layers. I started with a piece of scrapbook paper this time. I kind of threw the proverbial “kitchen sink” at this one. I have book page, washi tape, salvaged cardboard that was run through my Cuttlebug, glimmer mists, leather, printed tag, paints, phrase sticker, staples and white pen…oh an let’s not forget the photograph.

My colors fit into the Autumn theme over at Art Journal Journey again. Did I mention I love Fall?!?

    Great collage Halle. I like the repeat of patterns, and I do like succulents. Maybe it is their pattern, or maybe it is the fact that they are so unassuming. Hugs-Erika

    Wow, you DID throw everything at that spread. It’s a beauty. Right now, I’m in the process of creating a piece that was inspired by one you made earlier. This one is insanely awesome!

    I’d love to be able to grow succulents, but they just die. I’ve killed several over the years and just no longer try. That one has beautiful color! :)
