It's a hoot!

 

It's time to join Neet (at Hickydorums) who is our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  By now you probably know her theme is It must have wings.

This is a hoot!  That's the name I gave this latest entry.  It was quick and easy.  As a result, I'm also sharing it with Try it on Tuesday, whose theme this fortnight is Keep it Simple.  Detail shots are below.



I started with a background that had been painted by an elephant.  I picked it up one year at our local zoo.  To it I added the owl, which started life as a coaster from Nature Conservancy.  I computer generated the words and outlined them using green dye ink.
 
Thanks for dropping by today. Bleubeard and I are delighted you stopped by and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey and Try it on Tuesday.

It must be owl day at AJJ today and I missed the message-grin. Your great horned owl is great-it's a nice photo and makes a super page. I'm glad you're joining Neet. Have a super day. hugs-Erika

Hi Elizabeth, I thought of you yesterday when I saw a rocking horse above a cafe in Lenham, Kent. I hope you’re well, Lynnecrafts xx https://lynnecrafts.blogspot.com/2025/05/woyww-crochet-and-art.html?m=1

'This is a hoot'. That is excellent. You're clever with your word usage:)

I love owls, I love simple. Great work. Do you know the book "Wesley: The Story of a Remarkable Owl" by Stacey O'Brien? True story, I loved it!
