I found myself humming a Tom Petty song while shopping at the grocery store yesterday…
The song seemed to be stuck in my head! Does this ever happen to you?
It was my inspiration for today’s weird bird:
It is a Humdinger!
I hope your Wednesday’s a winner!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 😃

Today’s weird bird is hamming it up!
I have several old cookbooks that came in handy for today’s collage…
I was inspired by this children’s card game: CREATURE CLASH
You match a front, middle and back card to create a weird creature like the one I did below:
Part Hammerhead, Platypus and Flamingo, it’s a HAM-TY-GO!
Sounds like ordering a ham sandwich to go…
I must be hungry! Lol!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 😃
Today’s weird bird is rather dull…
It is a Nudnik bird!
Nudnik (nood-nik) – a persistently dull, boring pest.
Sometimes I feel like my weird birds are a little boring or maybe I just need a break from creating them for awhile.
So I have decided to take a blogging break and enjoy the lake for the summer.
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

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! 🙂
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! 🙂
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! 🙂
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! 😉

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! 🙂
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! 🙂

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! 🙂
