My scanner is on its last leg, but I hope that doesn't deter from this journal page.
Today I'm joining Neet at Hickydorums, our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her Fur and/or Feathers theme.
My all time favorite bird is this beautiful cardinal.
I thought Emily Dickinson's quote fit perfectly.Hope is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
I started with 140 lb cardstock, to which I sewed black cardstock and a cardinal from my stash. I then sewed black cardstock, red cardstock, and the computer generated words to the page.Bleubeard and I
are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Fur and/or Feathers.

Great quote and beautiful bird.
And my thank you!
I told Ingo about your way to frame artwork.
An hour later he shouted, "red or turquoise?"
I thought, "what´s he up to now" and answered with the second.
A couple of days later a brand new Singer for beginners stood in the kitchen and now I cannot only sew art, but also my too big shirts! (Darn it, I bought the smallest women´s size and they´re way too long!)
So: thank you :-)
Hope is a fragile essential.
Love your creation. As I always do.
You used a beautiful quote on our lovely artwork,, and cardinals are really beautiful. I wih they would come here! Have a beautiful day, enjoy, hugs, Valerie
Beautiful image paired with the quote.
Getting a good photo of a cardinal is amazingly challenging — they are very jumpy birds, and don’t stay out in the open for very long. Your photo is very nice, as is the poem.

A lovely piece! Good luck with the scanner. Such are hard to find in some places.
Beautiful page. I take photos on ny phone now more than I scan
Beautiful. The perfect pairing.
Received my lovely napkins yesterday Elizabeth! Thankyou so very much! I did see a pink one with black cats! Thank you! Your ATC is lovely as is Jo's...
This is one of my absolutely favorite poems.. and i'm a fan of cardinals too.. Did you know when they are courting a male cardinal will feed a female cardinal? Saw this many times at our feeder in Arkansas.. Hugs! deb
The cardinal is such a beautiful bird, dear Elizabeth - and the poem fits perfectly! Today I've belatedly joined your T-Day :-D
Best wishes

The cardinal is beautiful.

I can imagine the joy and immense pleasure you get from seeing a bird like this. We have nothing so colourful in the UK that I know of and if I saw one of these I would be over the moon. So beautiful in shape and colour.
What a lovely bird to grace your page today with his lovely red plumage. Thanks for sharing your favourite bird with us for my theme at AJJ.

I love this. It's beautiful. And the quote...purrfect.
A lovely page! We don’t have cardinals here on the west coast - I think they are gorgeous. I did get to see one in Toronto which was quite a thrill. Xo
This is such a lovely page, Elizabeth! That little cardinal is such a pretty bird, no wonder it is your favorite. Sadly, we don't have it here.
Sorry it took me so long to get by. The Wi-Fi was terrible at our hotel, but this place has good internet. Nice cardinal for your page. He is perfect for Neet’s challenge. I hope you’re having a great week. Hugs Erika
A gorgeous card , beautifully designed, ♥
