Two little birds flew in to jingle jangle their bells last night…
Hoping your holidays are a delight!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Friends!
Cheers! 🙂

Lazy Susan
Susan always served the best appetizers for her feather friends…
She would sit down with a plate on her belly and slowly spin the plate around so everyone could sample the seeds…
This is why she was nicknamed, Lazy Susan.
One never knows what will inspire a silly weird bird!
I drew this pattern with Copic markers yesterday evening:
Earlier in the day, I painted these papers:
It was to create this project:
I hope you let your imagination soar!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
P.S. I’m posting a little late today… feeling kind of lazy I guess! 😉

A Moose Goose?
This weird bird flew out of my imagination!
I started with an eyes closed drawing and discovered what looked to me like a moose! So I added a little collage:
A blue Moose Goose is on the loose!
I hope this silly bird gives you a smile today!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
A Thingamabob…
I haven’t forgotten today’s weird bird…
It is A Thingamabob and A Thingamajig!

Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
May it be a memorable day for you!
Cheers! 🙂

This Spud’s for you!
I haven’t posted in a little while on my blog…
I hope you are all well!
It has been raining A LOT where I live in the Pacific Northwest which makes me feel like a couch potato…
It was my inspiration for today’s weird bird:
May it give you a smile and bring you a little sunshine on a cloudy day!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
An Amazing Day
I have been enjoying the free online art class:
“The Layered Page” with Kellee Wynne Studios! I discovered it on Instagram. You can find it at KelleeWynneStudios.com
I have been creating larger pages with acrylic paint and stencils that will become mini books. Kellee shows you how to do this in her videos.
This led to experimenting in my sketchbook with marks and bubble wrap:
And creating smaller cards that are 5.5 x 3.5 inches:
I decided to make positive affirmation cards with some of the smaller cards:
And I created my own layered pages with paper collage in my art journal:
Perhaps my art will inspire you to create art you enjoy!
I hope you have an amazing day!
Cheers! 🙂
P.S. I have decided to take a blogging break so I can focus on creating art. There are some awesome free online art classes right now that I want to take advantage of!
If you are needing some additional creative inspiration, Carla Sonheim is offering a free pdf with 22 artists sharing their ideas. You can find it at CarlaSonheim.com Great ideas for all ages!
Have fun and stay safe! 🙂

Weird Weather
Spring brings such weird weather and today was no exception!
I woke-up to two inches of new SNOW!! What a surprise!
These weird birds were surprised too… One bird in particular!
What do you think the other birds are saying?
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

First Blooms
The Buttercups are in bloom!!
My husband picked these flowers from the forest near our home.
The arrival of sweet, golden Buttercups must mean Spring is on its way in the Pacific Northwest. Hurrah!
I wrote this haiku to celebrate these first blooms in my art journal:
Golden petals show,
Announcing Spring’s arrival,
A forest treasure.
Next, I added quick mini collages. I enjoy experimenting with color combinations, texture and balance.
I was able to get outside and take two short walks this weekend. My hip is doing great!
I hope you are all staying well.
Cheers! 🙂

Springing Forward
Sunday, we set our clocks forward for Daylight Saving Time, giving us an extra hour of light in the evenings. Yay!
According to the Washington Post; 70 countries change their clocks mid year for Daylight Saving Time including most of North America, Europe and parts of South America and New Zealand. China, Japan, India and most countries near the equator don’t fall back or jump ahead.
Today’s weird bird is Springing forward with a bouquet of blooms to give you a smile!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

Slow And Steady
Hi Friends,
I am feeling a little stronger each day. My total hip replacement surgery was two weeks ago.
I am using a walker to walk around my home and hope to graduate to a cane soon. Tomorrow I see my surgeon to get my bandage off. YAY!
I created this weird bird to give you a smile today:
It is very colorful and wild which tells me I’m getting back to my old self which makes me happy.
One day at a time is my motto these days. I hope to catch up with your blogs soon. I have missed you, friends!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers!
