I’ve been wanting to create these “fixer upper” homes with scraps of collage papers…
It was an assignment in Carla Sonheim’s “365 Video Every Day” online class that I’m doing this year.
Super fun to use a stapler instead of glue. I encourage you to give it a try!
Happy Building! Cheers! 🙂
A friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with cancer. My heart goes out to her and her family…
I was thinking of her as I created this face yesterday.
I pray that she will be able to fight this terrible disease and win! This face below has the determination and strength my friend has… And the knowledge that God is with her.
So MANY people are fighting and struggling with cancer. Too many people!
I dedicate today’s post to my friend T and EVERYONE who is fighting for their lives or supporting friends and loved ones battling cancer – YOU are wise beyond your years…
Sending love and hope! ❤

Vim out on a limb…
Looking slim!
Reminds me of Vigor Tim,
Who has been to the gym…
Pumping iron to stay trim!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!!
Cheers! 🙂
I’ve heard of a housewife…
And a househusband,
But a housebird?!! How absurd!
Well, maybe not…
Ha! A bird has a built-in “feather duster!”
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
Yesterday, I decided to challenge myself with creating faces from pieces of collage paper in my sketchbook. I used scrap pieces of my gelli-printed paper, text from old books such as a dictionary, scrapbook paper, sheet music and a postage stamp! 🙂
Here is my beginning:
And my finished piece:
I was having so much fun I had to add a couple more faces! Do you have a favorite?
Perhaps I will inspire you to give it a try! Happy Monday!
Cheers! 🙂
I wonder if a bird drank KAWF-ee …
Would it order it to go from the “fly-by” window at Starbucks Starlings Java?
Would it order one shot of expresso or two?
I suppose that would depend on the species of bird…
“I’ll take a Tall, Skinny, Half-Decaf, No-Whip Mocha, please!”
How do you like your coffee?
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday! 🙂
P.S. I enjoyed reading your responses for my dancing bird last Wednesday! I got my boot off my foot and I can start wearing a shoe again! Hoorah!! A good reason to dance! 🙂
I think creating from my imagination is the most fun! I hope you enjoy my ridiculous creatures:
I started each creature with a scrap of gelli-printed paper and then made up the rest of my animal, adding details with a black pen and color pencils.
And yesterday I created this silly Martian and told his story with this Limerick:
May it inspire the child in you to have fun and play in your art!
Cheers! 🙂
Why do you think this bird is dancing?
I look forward to hearing your response!
I will share my answer next Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
Thank you all for your input on my 4 color painting! I liked ALL your suggestions so it was really difficult for me to choose which ones to ADD to my pages…
I hope you like the additions I made and look forward to hearing what you think!
Thanks again EVERYONE for your comments and likes!!
Cheers! 🙂
I thought you might enjoy this silly limerick today with an Italian spin:
Leda Commellini used to serve her homemade Chicken Cacciatore to her friends at her home so she wouldn’t be lonely. Later, her Italian recipes became well-known in Spokane, Washington when a restaurant was opened called, Commellini’s. The restaurant is closed now except for private events but you can still purchase some of Leda’s famous sauces at the local farmer’s market.
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday, Mama Mia!
Cheers! 🙂
