Today’s weird bird is sometimes confused with an old Geezer bird…
But this one is definitely an Old Geyser!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

Spotted Quail
I spotted a Quail in my yard the other day. I just love watching them skitter across the yard always on the look out for my cat!
Today’s weird bird resembles a Quail:
Perhaps it is a Spotted Quail?
Did you know the little apostrophe on top of both male and female‘s heads is called a plume or topknot? The male’s plume is more pronounced.
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
If The Shoe(bill) Fits…
Today’s weird bird is my interpretation of a Shoebill bird from the cover of this book:
Is this one tough old bird?
Well, if the Shoe(bill) fits…
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
A Snowbird?
During a recent snow storm…
A weird bird of a different flock showed up…
A Snowbird!
Not the typical snowbird that goes to warmer weather during the winter…
It was a good day to complete another jigsaw puzzle:
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Stay warm! 😃
A Puzzler
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! 🙂
A Quilted Quince
High winds today where I live…
A good day to stay bundled up in a warm quilt!
These two words, quilt and quince were next to each other in my children’s dictionary. I thought they sounded like a good weird bird!
A Quilted Quince Bird
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Stay warm! 🙂
A Thingamabob…
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! 🙂

Earmarked
I finished my beetle doodle that I started recently. I enjoyed working on it in the evenings.
I enjoyed adding gold ink in addition to black ink:
I started another story in my art journal. Perhaps you remember; Meet Linda and Bob – Part 2
This one is earmarked for more word play! I am using a thesaurus for my story prompts this time.
I plan to show my completed journal page this Friday… I hope you will earmark this post!
Cheers! 🙂

Clown Fish
I REELED in some creative fun yesterday…
And used a few neglected art supplies (rubber stamps) to create this Clown Fish in my sketchbook:
Perhaps you remember the funny fish I previously posted on Friday’s? If not, you can find them under my art categories on the top right side of this post as FUNny Fish Fry-days!
I won’t be creating a fish every Friday but I thought it might give you a smile when I do!
Happy Fishing!
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! 🙂
