Today’s weird bird is sometimes confused with an old Geezer bird…
But this one is definitely an Old Geyser!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

Spotted Quail
I spotted a Quail in my yard the other day. I just love watching them skitter across the yard always on the look out for my cat!
Today’s weird bird resembles a Quail:
Perhaps it is a Spotted Quail?
Did you know the little apostrophe on top of both male and female‘s heads is called a plume or topknot? The male’s plume is more pronounced.
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
A Puzzler
Did you know that January is national puzzle month?
I have completed one 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle with Happy Buttons:
And I am working on a second one with Houseplants:
Sometimes my weird birds start out like a puzzle:
I started this trio in watercolor. Then I added a little paper collage:
Next, some details with color pencils:
And finished with pencil shading:
What kind of puzzles do YOU like to work on?
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
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! 🙂

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! 🙂
A Pajama Party
You have heard of a cat’s pajamas, right?
Why not a bird’s pajamas?!
I got ideas from this book for their outfits:
What animal would YOU invite to a pajama party?
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
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! 🙂

Glow Worm
Last Friday, I showed you the beginning of this journal page:
I added a drawing of a weird looking bug and then discovered the dictionary definition for a Glow Worm on my page.I decided to explore this idea further.
Next, I added some acrylic paint and colored part of my bug with Tombow markers:
I added some interesting facts about a Glow Worm to my page and finished coloring my “beetle” wearing a hat… why not! 😉
I enjoyed learning something new while playing in my art journal.
Cheers! 🙂
P.S. I have decided to blog 1-2 days a week. I will be posting on Mondays and possibly Wednesday. I will be posting more on Instagram where you can find me at art_jill_kuhn
