Day 34 The 60 Day Bird Journal Challenge


Folded a piece of sketch paper into eights.


Drew my pattern of choice onto one side of the folded paper.


Not bad, not quite as extraordinary as the cut outs I recall making as a child while attending catholic school.  But then again those nuns had us creating all sorts extraordinary things from paper cut out snowflakes to macrame owls,; they also taught us how to polka and how to square dance.


Atop a piece of inked mixed media paper, observing how the light casts shadows and such against the base layer.

Day 33 The 60 Day Bird Journal Project

Bird feather using the side of a glue stick tube and a colored pencil.


Paper bird cut outs placed over a mono printed farm scene onto a manila envelope.

What can I say I love Matisse's birds!  These I drew myself and then went looking for his work and I guess there's not a whole lot of what one can do with a swallow design.  I have plans to make more of these for a page in my journal.
