MSED: Bird a Day #88 Dreaming Garden

Black and white tangle sketch, bird weirdness. Now I have to buy new micron pens. :)

Progress Day

Even though I may not post a bird every day, I am usually working on at least one. I won't have a finished bird today but I wanted to share with you that I am making progress.

We'll see is this turns out at all

 And all that I am doing does not involve birds :) There must be a balance to life.

Mystery Knitting

Dinner - Seafood Chowder ala Sarah

Here's to finding your balance!

MSED: Bird a Day #87 Gloomy Fall Day Bird

In an attempt to create a little faster I give you the candle wax drawn bird. I drew the outline of the bird with a white candle on white paper. Not recommended if you are trying to be precise as you cannot see the marks you have made. Any way I drew the bird and then watercolor-ed over to expose the wax outline then used pen over the top. I think the mood of this piece matches the weather outside today.

MSED: Bird a Day #86 What Little Birds Are Made Of

Working with words is today's prompt. I started this one two days ago thinking it would be a quick one but alas, at this rate it may take me two and a half years to complete my one year project. I see lots on this one that I would like to do differently maybe rework the whole thing and add some color, but for right now I am done looking at it.

MSED: Bird a Day #85 Hooty Hoos for Sarah

Is this cheating? I made this owl sweater a while back for my daughter, Sarah. She reminded me of it the other day when I was struggling to come up with a bird. I still need to sew on buttons for the eyes and maybe after that I will post  it again! And no, it is not snowing here in Michigan...yet...that will be next week, ha ha.

Let me tell you how proud I am of this young lady. I get to because she is my daughter and this is my blog :). She is really smart, a great organizer and a self starter and never lets anything keep her from her goals. She may get knocked down from time to time but she gets right back up, ready to go again. And she makes one hell of a good strawberry cheese cake. You go girl!

enough pictures already!

MSED: Bird a Day #84 Bird Brain

Here's another artist trading card. I pretty much have birds on the brain every day I just don't manage to execute one everyday. I should be on bird #104. Do you think I should try to catch up so my bird a day project lasts one year or just plug away as I have been until I get to bird #365?

Also, I wanted to mention that I sold a print on my Redbubble site! whoot woo! It was Courtship Under the Bower. I would love to know who bought it so I can thank them properly.

MSED: Bird a Day #83 Geese Can Wear White After Labor Day...

...or Birds of a Sweater Sock Together... I know, groan. You knew I had to get knitting in this blog somewhere. When I'm not drawing, painting, blogging, or surfing, I am knitting. Ok, I do other stuff too but I have the most fun doing these things.
