fantasy art and tree chatter of aquariann

"There is music in the meadows, in the air - Autumn is here; Skies are gray, but hearts are mellow, Leaves are crimson, brown, and yellow; Pines are soughing, birches stir, And the Gipsy trail is fresh beneath the fir. There is rhythm in the woods, and in the fields, Nature yields: And the harvest voices crying, Blend with Autumn zephyrs sighing; Tone and color, frost and fire, Wings the nocturne Nature plays upon her lyre." - William Stanley Braithwaite, Lyric of Autumn

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree." - Fall, leaves, fall excerpt by Emily Brontë I was afraid the wind from last Saturday's storm would shake the autumn leaves from the trees too soon, but there are still several stunning leaves to see.

November may have started a bit colder than I would have liked, but the colors of the leaves helped to warm my soul! Paula from Twinkling Of An Eye wove together a fall tapestry during an SPS team game. Her autumn decor ideas include orange flower lace doily by Suni's Serendipity, pumpkin harvest art card by Watercolors Nmore and my autumn tree sprite magnet .

"Autumn ... the year's last, loveliest smile." - William Cullen Bryant The winter solstice may be a few weeks away, but the frigid weather is insisting that autumn is already over.

My schedule is still reeling from falling back for the end of daylight savings, but I do know it's time for sponsor shout-outs! Branch out to Life is the Bubbles , Beadmask , Purple Peacock Jewels and Athenianaire for autumn accessories to decorate your body and home in orange. Life is the Bubbles' magic bottle necklace will have you singing with all the voices of the mountain. The corked bottle is filled with a multitude of glitter to echo all the colors of the wind. As if you didn't already gather that the piece was inspired by Disney's Pocahontas movie, the tree charm symbolizes Grandmother Willow. The pendant hangs from a 19.5" bronze chain that closes with a heart toggle clasp. Beadmask's leather leaf fork will look scrumptious in your hair during the harvest season. Quality tooling leather was hand carved to resemble an oak leaf and twigs. Then she painted the leather in a range of warm browns and golds for autumn. Pheasant and rooster feathers w...

Leaves may not be turning yet, but the sun is setting sooner and sooner and washing the world in gold just before the night blots out the light. Branch out to Purple Peacock Jewels , Athenianaire , Life is the Bubbles and Beadmask for golden yellow jewelry for autumn. Oh là là! Purple Peacock Jewel's art nouveau earrings are so stunning they could stop traffic in Paris. A tiny topaz glass opal cabochon is carefully mounted in each antique brass setting. The delicately decorative design is reminiscent of the art nouveau elements that one of my favorite artists, Alfonse Mucha, painted so intricately. The nickel-free earposts are embellished by small dangles with matching faceted beads. Athenianaire's real butterfly wing necklace will migrate any outfit from boring to beautiful. The lovely yellow pendant flutters from an adjustable lanyard in black. The pattern is preserved out of a Delias Hyparete butterfly wing from Thailand. The specimen was purchased from a legal cons...

Store shelves may be sparkling with snowflakes and Christmas ornaments, but autumn's not officially over yet! Branch out to My Sweet November , Beadmask , WireQueen Jewelry and Life is the Bubbles for fantastic jewelry in late fall colors of copper and orange. My Sweet November's orange leaf earrings are created with laser cut wood shapes that have been painted a lovely deep orange. The fall leaves hang from antique brass ear wires. Total length from the curve of ear wire to bottom of leaf is 2 3/8". The earrings are lightweight and perfect for everyday wear. Rubber stoppers are supplied for those graceful girls like me that somehow get earrings without backs tangled in hair and then dropped onto a bathroom floor. Beadmask's fall maple necklace is an amazing autumn accessory! The leaf was hand cut, carved and sculpted from premium tooling leather. The shape was then hand painted in rich earth tones of cocoa, cinnamon and goldenrod. A medallion of pheasant feath...
