High winds today where I live…
A good day to stay bundled up in a warm quilt!
These two words, quilt and quince were next to each other in my children’s dictionary. I thought they sounded like a good weird bird!
A Quilted Quince Bird
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Stay warm! đ
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! đ
I wanted to show you the page in my art journal that I completed from Monday’s post:
Below is the photo from Monday of my unfinished page Art Journal Prompts:
I enjoyed a trip down “memory lane” and found this photo of me ice skating with my dad when I was almost 5 years old. (Notice the old cars in the background!)
I encourage you to create your own art journal prompts! I hope you share with me what you do!
Cheers! đ

Today’s weird bird has a lighthouse beak that is a beacon for shore birds…
I hope this patchwork of imagination gives you a smile that lights your face!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!!!

Today’s weird bird is a little off key…
A Typewriter bird is rarely seen anymore, only during extreme “white outs” does this bird return.
Do you remember this shifty bird?
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! đ

This isnât a âgolfingâ birdy…
But âyewâ still might find it between two trees in the summertime!
A Swinging Birdy
Afterall, if you are feeling taxus…Â
You may need to relaxus… like this Hammock Bird!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!Â
Cheers! đ
P.S. I will be taking a short blogging break until the end of June to catch up on some art projects and perhaps spend a little time in the hammock lawn chair… đ
Today, I have two squabby (short and stout) weird birds…
Who seem to be having a squabble (petty quarrel) under the rhubarb.
My rhubarb plant is going to seed… Â But I think it is kind of beautiful!
Did you know that rhubarb is âslangâ for a quarrel or squabble? Â
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! đ
P.S. As I am willing to risk more and put my art out into the world, I am also more at risk for other people to criticize my art.  How do you handle criticism in your art making or life?  I hope you share your wisdom with me!  Thanks!

Plain vs. peanut? Â
M&M chocolate candies of course!
And two weird birds:
Plain Vs. Peanut
I wonder which one is Mars and which one is Murrie?
According to Mentalfloss.com M&M stands for Forrest Mars, son of the Mars candy founder, who invented, patented and began manufacturing the candy coated plain variety in a factory in New Jersey in 1941.
Mars talked to Bruce Murrie, son of Hersheyâs company president about going into business together.  Their sweet deal melted like chocolate in a hot car in 1949 when Mars bought out Murrieâs share for 1 million.
Q: Â What were the 5 original colors?
A: Â Red, orange, yellow, green and violet
The signature âMâ wasnât stamped on the candies until 1950, in black rather than white.
Peanut M&Mâs were introduced in 1954 in a tan color… It wasnât until 1960 that they came out in colors like the plain variety.
Mars was allergic to peanuts so he never got to enjoy a handful of his creation…
I recently purchased a bag of the peanut M&Mâs that inspired me for todayâs weird birds!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! đ
PS. May your day be extra sweet!Â

Did you know that the longest attack of hiccups according to Guinness Medical Record breakers was 68 years?!
âCharles Osborne of Anthon, Iowa started hiccuping while attempting to weigh a hog before slaughtering it in 1922… he was unable to find a cure and continued until February 1990.â
Todayâs weird bird has a case of the hiccups…
How do you recommend he get rid of them?
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! đ
