There once was a bird named Rosie,
Who liked to pick pink posies,
Rose glasses she wore…
Leg bangles galore,
She even colored her toe-sies!
I haven’t done a Limerick in awhile… I hope Rosie gives you a smile today!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

Yesterday, it was unusually cold in the Pacific Northwest where I live…19 degrees Fahrenheit! Brrr!
It inspired me to create this silly weird bird drawing in my sketchbook:
I added color with Tombow and Copic markers:
Whoa! Who turned up the freezer? I sure wish Mother Nature would turn up the thermostat!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

Today’s weird bird is wearing spectacular spectacles…
I hope you have a spectacular day!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
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! 🙂

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’m enjoying the assignments from my online class, Creating Simple Characters with Nelleke Verhoeff.
It was primary fun to color these characters with yellow, red and blue color pencils:
I encourage you to draw characters as things from your imagination!
Cheers! 🙂

I have flowers on my mind for my August Square-A-Day project.
So it seems fitting that this colorful weird bird blossomed in my art journal recently:
A mixture of watercolor and collage, I hope this bird brightens your day with a smile!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

I just love Sharon Mann’s sunny art, don’t you?
I was delighted to receive her postcard art recently in an artful exchange through the mail!
We each created six postcards, 4×6 inch size in any art medium. (I forgot to take a photo of mine so you will have to look at Sharon’s blog). 😉
Perhaps you remember our other artful exchange? If not you can find it here: The Speedball Bird
I enjoy making art in this “postcard” size so I’m sure you will see more of it!
Thank you Sharon for brightening my day with your cheerful art!
Cheers! 🙂

Today I have a “gaggle” of weird birds!
I had so much fun making one that they quickly multiplied… kind of like a bunch of hangers on laundry day! Lol!
I drew these Hanger birds by looking only at my subject (a clothes hanger) and not at my paper.
I like how they came out a bit wonky…
Hang on! And have a happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
