I'm joining Wendy, our host this month at Art Journal Journey, with her theme entitled Birds.
I named this Birds of a feather but there is a twist. 
The three birds 
are discussing 
why they must 
practice social distancing. 
For this spread, I began with a sheet of 90 lb copier/printer paper to which I sewed the birds I found on the cover of a recent Mensa magazine. One of the "boys" (yes, Squiggles) decided he wanted those birds, so I was lucky he didn't rip the cover, but merely bent it. I tried to sand a bit of the shine off the page, but it didn't seem to work. I computer generated the sentiment, then colored it using watercolors like the ones used on the birds. Once dry, I sewed the birds and the sentiment to the page using variegated thread. Thanks so very much for visiting Bleubeard and me today. We sincerely hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Birds.
I'm also joining AEDM. Today is Day 7 and I created a journal page for Art Journal Journey.

Some birds are more clever than some humans, it seems!
And also... much cuter! 😍🐦🐦🐦
This is lovely!
Elizabeth, the birds are fabulous and I love the sewing! I think I am going to do some sewing in my creations this week. Wonderful page. Hugz
...and they stick together.
Yes! I love how you found such a delightful image to pair with your sentiment. You've got a creative piece that speaks to the moment :)
What beautiful birds and am I glad Squiggles did not get to destroy this lovely picture. I just love what you have done with it - social distancing - absolutely brilliant!
Hugs to the three of you xxx

What a fabulous image Elizabeth, I'm not surprised that they attracted the attention of Squiggles. Here you go again with the sewing - and it looks absolutely brilliant! I laughed at socially distancing birds but they do seem to making plan! Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Chrisxxx

I think they are doing a better job than most with their social distancing Elizabeth. Lovely page with those vintage watercolour birds very pleasing to the eye. Hugs Tracey xx
Social distancing birds, that's cute Elizabeth.
