Today I have another page for Valerie's theme Anything Goes at Art Journal Journey.
I call this For the birds. Since these birds have faces, tonight I'll also be joining Nicole and her Friday Face Off. I even have a few detail shots.
The sentiment reads Redbirds, Bluebirds, Blackbirds. I cropped the page a bit too much, so the words are hard to read.
I made a similar entry a few years ago, but I believe I used a circle punch at that time and this time I used a MS squiggly circle punch. I first colored the 110 lb cardstock background using Staz-on reinkers and 91% isopropyl alcohol. While it was drying, I punched and punched and punched until I was sure my right hand would fall off (slight exaggeration). Next I laid down the washi tape for the birds to stand on. Then I glued all the bird faces to the substrate. Next, I added all the legs, wings, and faces using red, blue, black, and white gel pens. I used those same pens to write the sentiment (see above).Thanks for stopping by today. Bleubeard and I hope you enjoy your weekend. While you're here, please hop over to Art Journal Journey and Friday Face Off.
This is so much fun - thank you.

ReplyDeleteThese are delightful!
ReplyDeleteI remember doing an art thing with students that involved thumbprints!
I ought to get sketching. Thanks for the inspiration!
I remember when you made these birds before, and they are just as cute this time around. I love how happy they all are, probably because it is spring. You should also link them up to TIOT because they work for our latest challenge. I hope your week is going well my friend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThis journal page of stacked birds is a delight, Elizabeth! I was smiling the minute I saw the thumbnail for your post. That Washi tape platform helps give them whimsical personalities.
ReplyDeleteHappy flock :)

ReplyDeleteThose birds made me smile Elizabeth. I love the washi tape they are standing on too.

ReplyDeleteYour little birds are so cute and I love them all. Great idea to use the washi tape for them to be grounded.

ReplyDeleteBunches of little birdies! That is so appropriate for the first of spring.
ReplyDeleteOhhh this is just too cute. I am always so impressed with how your creative mind works. Thank you for joining FFO and have a very nice day.
ReplyDeleteA very clever way to creat a flock of birds. Love their expressions.
