Slow And Steady
Hi Friends,
I am feeling a little stronger each day. My total hip replacement surgery was two weeks ago.
I am using a walker to walk around my home and hope to graduate to a cane soon. Tomorrow I see my surgeon to get my bandage off. YAY!
I created this weird bird to give you a smile today:
It is very colorful and wild which tells me I’m getting back to my old self which makes me happy.
One day at a time is my motto these days. I hope to catch up with your blogs soon. I have missed you, friends!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers!
Rosie
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! 🙂

Stuffed Animals
I created this drawing based on the words from the assignment I told you about in my last post, “This might be impossible to read but it was fun to make.”
I had so much FUN drawing the stuffed animals and hiding the words.
Here is a close-up of the animals and words so you can read them.
Sometimes I don’t try ideas because I think they may be impossible to do! I’m glad I gave this one a try because I discovered stuffed animals are really quite easy to draw.
What would you like to learn to draw or paint if you didn’t have any obstacles in your way?
I hope you give your ideas a try!
Cheers! 🙂

A Game Changer
I am very excited about Carla Sonheim’s year-long online class for 2020!
It is called, “Words and Pictures.”
For the first assignment, I used the phrase, “This might be impossible to read but it was fun to make,” using a game theme:
I am hoping this class will be a game changer for me and help me write a children’s book!
If you are interested in Carla’s class, you can watch a 3 minute intro video at CarlaSonheim.com
Cheers! 🙂
Art Journal Prompts
I like to give myself art challenges.
Yesterday, I had a few minutes to experiment in my 9 x 12 inch Canson mixed media art journal.
I started by writing the date and drawing some random shaped boxes on my paper:
Next, I worked quickly so I wouldn’t overthink things.
I added paper collage, doodles and creative prompts to work on later such as a dictionary word and paint sample name:
I will show you my completed journal page later this week! I encourage you to create your own art journal prompts to get your creative juices flowing!
Cheers! 🙂

A Flutter of Fashion
I bring you a flutter of fashion for today’s weird birds!
The spotlight focuses on Barbara in an old odd-fashioned frock:
Shiela is out on-a-limb with this ensemble:
And lastly, Petunia poses in a favorite party pinafore:
I hope you enjoyed this little fashion fun today…
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

A Slice of Color, Please!
I have been making collaged “color wheels” for an online class with Lynn Whipple for 2019 Year of the Collage. I used a variety of papers, mostly my own.
They remind me of pizza…
I will take a slice of color, please!
I think color is the one thing that appeals to my “appetite” the most when I am creating – no matter what art medium I am exploring.
Louise Primeau at ARTiculations on WordPress recently featured an article about me and many different art mediums I have explored.  Here is a link if you’d like to check out Louise’s blog and the article: https://louiseprimeau.com/featured-artist-jill-kuhn/
Thank you Louise!
Next, week, I will show you how I used these color wheels in a project.
Cheers! 🙂
P.S. What slices of color appeal to YOU?
