The flamingo

 

I apologize.  This was only to go live if I could leave comments.  I was able to leave them to about a dozen people, then I started getting "Failed to publish" again.  Unfortunately, time is not on my side, so it is (as they say in the academic world) publish or perish.  I will leave comments when I am allowed to do so by blogger.

I'm once again joining Jo from Let’s Art Journal, our host this month at Art Journal Journey, with her Wonderfully Wild theme.

I'm not sure how wild flamingos are, but they are always a big attraction at our county zoo.  I have a few detail shots below.

These are the two napkins I used.  I finally found scissors that allowed me to fussy cut around the napkin I placed below the flamingo.

I began by fussy cutting around the napkin I used in the background.  After adding it to the substrate (110 lb. cardstock) I then adhered the flamingo napkin to the lower napkin, both of which I received in a napkin swap, the same swap Jo, our AJJ host, participated in.  As I was smoothing the flamingo, I tore it and you can see the flamingo's leg is a bit disjointed.  I also seem to have allowed part of the right hand palm tree in the background to have slipped under itself.  Regardless, I was quite pleased with the outcome.

 

Bleubeard and I want to thank each of you for visiting today.  We would also love to see you at Art Journal Journey and share your take on Wonderfully Wild.
