Today’s weird bird is part Canadian Warbler from this photograph:
I then had fun building a wardrobe for a Warbler using an old dress pattern:
And some of my Gelli Plate printed papers for outfits:
Which “style” is most becoming on this wild Warbler?
A new twist on “paper dolls!” Lol
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 😃
P.S. I’m sure you will see this Warbler again in a future post!
In 2019, I created a “square a day” – a small piece of art each day. This was a fun project that kept me inspired in my art making. I wrote the date and notes on the back of each square.
I have been a little off the grid in the last year dealing with some health issues and feeling uninspired to create.
2022 is a NEW YEAR and time to create some fun! Hooray!
Today’s weird bird was part of my square project for the head and yesterday, I added the body with a grid format…
Here is what I wrote on the back of my square in 2019:
And here is my box of 365 art squares!
I hope my little whimsy will give you a smile today…
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers to a creative year for us all! 🙂

Yes, I’m back….
I took a little longer blogging break than I intended but I’m back! And with another weird bird!
Today’s weird bird is a combination of two dictionary words:
TWEEDLE: To lure by or as by music
TWADDLE: Trivial or silly talk/writing
Of course, I put my own spin on these two words to create this weird bird:
I hope this Tweedle Twaddle bird gives you a smile today!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 😃

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! 🙂
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! 🙂

Today’s weird bird has a ring to it…
Tintinnabulum – (N) a small, tinkling bell or set of bells playing in succession.
This bird gives new meaning to a “wingding!” Lol!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

I created landscapes from my imagination for my November Square-A-Day project.
Using a variety of art supplies, I explored simplicity with Copic markers, color pencils, watercolor, Gelli-plate prints and Pan Pastels.
“The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but having new eyes.” Marcel Proust
I thought this quote summed up this month’s project perfectly!
Cheers! 🙂
I enjoyed my blogging break for the last two weeks… Although I couldn’t stay away from reading so many of your creative blogs! 😃
I am looking forward to a new month… December is here! And Christmas is just around the corner… Hoorah!
Someone put a “bug” in my bonnet in the last couple of weeks and I have been drawing these bugs from my imagination:
I started with their imaginary “hats” from my Gelli-printed papers or copies of my own artwork.
I drew my imaginary bug in pencil before adding permanent pen.
There is something wonderful about creating from your imagination. It is so freeing!
Lastly, I added color pencils to give these bugs a little pizzazz…
Which bug(s) do you like?
Cheers! 🙂

I like making AND receiving handmade cards…
How about YOU?!
I made this card for my husband’s birthday recently:
The holidays are not always easy…
Snuggle someone you love today, even if they bug you a little!
Happy Wednesday AND Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!
Cheers! 🙂
