Black Birds Dancing and Singing

Yet more green in my bible journaling!

Linking to **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* - I have three shades of green on this page along with some purple, blue and yellow.

Sponged and stenciled the background, and drew the houses and birds on torn book pages.  I saved the pages from the little scary book worm who was eating them.  That was scary - I couldn't believe it - I have never seen one and it was in my house - no more buying old books until they are totally inspected.  Urgh!!!

The feathers are from DRS Designs - stamped on the page after my little handdrawn birds and houses were added with Gesso.  I watercolored them and then had to fix them a bit as they lost some definition.
Psalm 40 - praise for God and request for protection.  We need to do this constantly with the virus going around!  Super important to have that extra hedge of protection.

Hugz,

Nancy

    Fabulous page, Nancy. I love the background viisual texture and your cute drawings.

    Ewww ... you found a bookworm. I'd forgotten that there were such insects. Today the word makes me think of people who bury their noses in books. Who sees actual bookworms anymore ... except people who buy/collect old books for their art or their collection?

    Maybe your bookworn left lovely texture on some of the pages.

    Your psalm made me think of a phrase we might start repeating, "Pray healthy; stay healthy."

    Thank you for joining us at Art Journal Journey with this delightful green spread. Eileen xx

    Those black birds on the green look like they are having a blast. I think the coming of spring and all its glory is making them dance. Thanks for sharing with us at ARt Journal Journey. Hugs-Erika

    I apologize for visiting so very late, Nancy. I fear a few things have fallen through the cracks as I try to catch up after having internet woes for two days in a row.

    I LOVE these quirky, adorable birds. They are so sweet and sing a lovely message, too. Thanks beyond belief for sharing this lovely entry with us using Eileen's theme at Art Journal Journey.

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
