Pie Birds

‘Tis the season for…

PIE!!

These three Pie Birds are a slice of happiness, don’t you agree?!

What is YOUR favorite kind of pie?

Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!

Cheers! 🙂

The Spring Sandwich Puff

Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, I decided to create today’s weird bird in memory of ALL mothers – birds and humans! 😉

Lunches and Brunches…

Recipes old and new,

I “cooked” up this bird…

In memory of you! ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day!

Cheers! 🙂

A Recipe for PLAY

What jumpstarts your creativity?

I signed up for Creative Jumpstart 2018 to get my creative juices flowing.  I liked this year’s theme:  Now We’re Cooking; Mixed Media Art Recipes

This online class has a 10-15 minute video each day from a different mixed-media artist throughout the month of January.  Cost is reasonable too – only $50!

If you’d like more information and a short video about the class, go to:  www.Nathaliesstudio.com

I wrote down some of my “ingredients” for PLAY above… and then collaged over it with matte medium and scraps of painted paper (and an old recipe):

One of the ways I like create an atmosphere of PLAY is to leave a project unfinished on my table.  Then I can’t wait to get back and work on it! 🙂

How about you?  Do you have a technique for jumpstarting your creativity?

I will show you my finished piece later this week.

Cheers! 🙂

A Heavenly Bird

The Heavenly bird of the “PIE” family:

I think Chocolate Cream Pie is definitely a slice of heaven! 😉

Do you see any strange animals in the clouds?

Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!

Cheers! 🙂

 

A Little Something Sweet

I don’t know about you…

But my day is not complete without a piece of chocolate!

Right after lunch, I need a little something sweet – like a Hershey’s Kiss with Almonds or a Dove wrapped dark chocolate.  It just makes me feel loved! 🙂

Today’s weird bird is about giving yourself a little love – perhaps a piece of chocolate?

What is your favorite chocolate?

Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!

Cheers! 🙂

Pie In The Sky

Continuing with the Apple theme for today’s Weird Bird…

I have a slice of humor for you today:

The Apple Pie A’ La Mode Bird

Some days it is good to remember the simple pleasures in life like a slice of pie with ice cream on top!

Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!

Cheers! 🙂

A Fish Walks Into A Bar…

A little fish joke for you today…

Hahaha! I hope this gives you a smile today!

Happy Weird Bird Wednesday with a Fish twist!!

Cheers! 🙂

This Bird Takes The Cake!

Have you heard of Sponge Bob, Square Pants?

Well, today’s weird bird rose in popularity in the 1930’s and was discovered recently in this old book:

According to Wikipedia, “Sponge Cake is based on flour, sugar, butter and eggs and is sometimes leavened with baking powder.  It has a firm yet well-aerated structure, similar to a sea sponge…”

Sponge Cake (Bird) AKA Pound Cake

One never knows when or where this diva bird may appear… but it is usually when one is watching their waistline.

Happy Weird Bird Wednesday! 

Cheers!  🙂

 

A Duck Eating Pasta?!

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!  🙂

The Namby-Pamby Bird

In celebration of “Weird Bird Wednesday” that I started last week – I’d like to introduce the Namby-Pamby bird to you:

This bird is very indecisive!  It can’t decide if it is a chicken or if it likes to eat fish…therefore it has two beaks!

Some days I’m a bit namby-pamby myself.  Do we have chicken or fish for dinner?

One thing I do know… this bird makes me laugh!

Hope it gives YOU a smile today!  🙂
