Today’s weird bird is rather dull…
It is a Nudnik bird!
Nudnik (nood-nik) – a persistently dull, boring pest.
Sometimes I feel like my weird birds are a little boring or maybe I just need a break from creating them for awhile.
So I have decided to take a blogging break and enjoy the lake for the summer.
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

Did you know that January is national puzzle month?
I have completed one 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle with Happy Buttons:
And I am working on a second one with Houseplants:
Sometimes my weird birds start out like a puzzle:
I started this trio in watercolor. Then I added a little paper collage:
Next, some details with color pencils:
And finished with pencil shading:
What kind of puzzles do YOU like to work on?
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! 🙂
This weird bird flew out of my imagination!
I started with an eyes closed drawing and discovered what looked to me like a moose! So I added a little collage:
A blue Moose Goose is on the loose!
I hope this silly bird gives you a smile today!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
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! 🙂

I haven’t posted in a little while on my blog…
I hope you are all well!
It has been raining A LOT where I live in the Pacific Northwest which makes me feel like a couch potato…
It was my inspiration for today’s weird bird:
May it give you a smile and bring you a little sunshine on a cloudy day!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
Learning to fly..
Is never easy!
A silly little drawing to give you a smile today!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

I hope you have earmarked my post today from Monday…
I completed my journal page and story yesterday:
Earnie was all ears whenever someone said, “Chocolate!” His large elf-like ears elevated his hearing to an extraordinary level of expertise. Everyone attributed Ernie’s extra large feet (size 11) to his enormous nose. Ernie was Eve’s son and she was extremely proud of Ernie’s ability to play the piano by ear, while riding a unicycle. A remarkable talent “earmarked” by many of Eve’s peers at an early age… as an exceptional child. Eve on the other hand was more reserved and preferred to express herself with wearing expensive and elegant clothes and shoes… And unusual hats!
I hope you enjoyed my silly story… I earmarked it to give you a smile!
Cheers! 🙂

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! 🙂

I recently discovered the imaginative art of Stefan G Bucher.
Stefan drew a daily monster for years. If you’d like to see some of his art, he has a couple of YouTube videos. Google his name to find them. His art is also on Instagram.
His method of creating monsters with ink and a compressed can of air inspired my Walking Stick:
Did you know that Walking Stick insects are also known as stick insects, stick bugs or bug sticks?
My insect is a little on the strange side but that makes it all the more interesting to me!
Happy Creating!
Cheers! 🙂
