Lots of Fun


I had lots of fun with this page and felt as if I had entered my second childhood!  It's a page for Art Journal Journey where the current theme chosen by Halle is Words to Live By.  This little lady needed an inking and I've also used her little friend who had been left on the stamp sheet when she had her previous outing.  The words seemed appropriate to this fun page.

Whilst in my 'fun' mode, I made a tag for Tag Tuesday where their theme is Wings - I just had to use this little guy, who has been sitting patiently for a couple of months, for just the right occasion.

The words are computer generated and just seemed perfect for the patient and bewildered look!


I took this photo a couple of days ago - shame on me the coconut was empty -  this poor little bird probably had the same expression as he sheltered from the rain.  I hasten to add - I did go out as soon as there was a break in the weather and put a new one out.  We actually  said 'hello' to sunshine yesterday and it seems to be forecast to stay for a few days - fingers crossed.

Wonderful art, and I love those quotes Avril!
Love the birdy too. I had to remove the fat balls until our strawberry crop is finished, and I miss seeing the birds.

Both pieces are fabulous, and I love the bird tag. Thanks for joining us at Tag Tuesday, much appreciated. Sometimes the birds make an enormous noise outside to tell me that the feeder is empty! Hugs, Valerie

I got a big laugh out of that bird on the tag. It was a fun tag.

Of course, I was really impressed with your journal page. There is something special about these characters. You have brought them to life and created the perfect quote, too. Thanks for sharing this spread with us honoring Halle's theme at Art Journal Journey.
