Things with wings

Hi everyone, it's time for a new theme at Try It On Tuesday - we would like to see 'Things With Wings' and that means anything that we usually see with wings! As usual the Design Team have been busy making samples to inspire you - please take a look here.

I am quite predictable in choosing a bird, I can get quite distracted when out walking if I hear an unusual bird song or if I get a chance to watch birds.

I made a page in a small journal - I used a page from a Dina Wakley Collage book I spritzed it with a Distress Spritz (the shine doesn't show well here) then stamped the little Dina Wakley bird and coloured it in with wateercolour paints. Finally I covered the bird and added some spatters and the Tim Holtz chit chat sticker.

I hope you can join us this time at TIOT - you have two weeks to post your entry and if you are in any doubt about anything the Rules and  Guidelines are here.

I would like to join Neet's 'It must Have Wings' theme at Art Journal Journey with my little bird too

Thanks for looking, Chris

Its a real sweet bird image Chris, he has a real cheeky look in his eye. Hope you are enjoying your trip.

Thanks again for visiting my challenge at Art Journal Journey with this sweet chubby little bird. I love the look of him and how you have coloured him. The background with a watered down mix of colours from him down the left hand side and across the base looks really good on that spattered background. Must try that Chris.
Hugs, Neet xx

Birds really do capture a special kind of peace and curiosity, don’t they? Your journal page sounds like a lovely way to bring that quiet moment to life, especially with all those thoughtful layers. It’s wonderful to see how wings inspire creativity in so many ways. www.melodyjacob.com
