Today we lift our beakers earthenware jugs… Celebrating Weird Bird Wednesday!
I have been posting a weird bird almost every Wednesday for over a year! Thank you Harold for introducing the idea! And thanks to ALL of you, my flock of followers! 😉
I decided to post the prehistoric “Beaker Bird” since it was wearing a cone-shaped beaker hat for the occasion.
During prehistoric times, the Beaker Bird’s beak (try saying that three times fast!) was about the size of a large Cadillac… But as time evolved, its beak shortened to the size of a Mini Cooper.
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday! Cheers! 🙂

A great bird as usual, but those dots!…(K)

Jill do you like painting on Yupo? I was thinking of trying watercolors on Yupo but it seems everyone does alcohol inks. Any ideas? Love your dots by the way!

Hi Margaret! Yupo can be tricky with watercolor because the paint sits on top of the paper. It takes forever to dry. I didn’t really care for it but some people get amazing results with it. One nice feature is you can wipe away your mistakes easier since the paint sits on top. 😊 I like the alcohol inks because they dry much quicker and stay vibrant… fun to experiment anyway! 🎨👍

Now I wonder if thinned down acrylics (with medium) would work . in fact I’ll look that up. Thanks!

Thanks Jodi! ❤🐦🚗 I was thinking Chrysler but hubby said the car on his beak was more of a Cadillac… I learned to drive in one of those big Chryslers in the 70’s – we used to call it a boat! Lol! 🛥 Glad you like the Yupo too! 😍
