Today’s weird bird is my interpretation of a Shoebill bird from the cover of this book:
Is this one tough old bird?
Well, if the Shoe(bill) fits…
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

Spring Has Sprung!
The sun has been shining in the Pacific Northwest where I live and the birds have returned to sing!
Spring has sprung!
The rhubarb has sprouted, always a sure sign that Spring is on its way, hooray!
I printed my background and the paper for my weird birds all on the Gelli-Plate.
Below is my background without my birds:
If you are interested in learning more about Gelli-Plate printing, Carla Sonheim is teaching a live, ZOOM class this Saturday, March 27th. She will be focusing on landscapes. The 3-hour class is only $45.

I hope you will be joining me in the class… It will be a blast!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!

For The Birds…
I recently completed this 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle (size is approximately 19 x 27 inches). It is Birds of Western North America.
It caught my attention because it had BIRDS! (120 of them)
Thank goodness the birds were numbered on the puzzle, although the numbers were very, very tiny on the box photo. It did come with a identification chart.
Today’s weird bird is called, Scrambled as in my mind after finishing this puzzle!
Searching for beaks, feet, tail feathers, wings, eyes… oh, my!
If you are looking for a challenging jigsaw puzzle, you may like it…
I’m going back to a less complicated puzzle. This one is definitely for the birds!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

Jingle Jangle
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!
Now where did I put my car keys…
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! 🙂
