For the birds
It's California-cold, if you know what that is (cold for those of us who never really experience cold weather). I keep cranking up the thermostat and the furnace keeps trying to catch up, it's just cold!
I added this page to my mixed media book for class. I collaged and painted the background, then stamped the image from a linoleum block I carved earlier in the semester. I like the way it turned out, much better than the three-color block prints I could never quite master.
The live birds outdoors have discovered all of the new feeders I hung in November and I see them perched and chomping throughout the day. Some are about 60 feet from my kitchen window but others are right ON the living room window, hidden in a bush, where I can watch them close up. Some day I'll even learn their names so I know who I'm observing.
Oh wow, Barbara, this is truly awesomely beautiful! I like the bright, warm yellow very much.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, just wanted to add, I just met Kozy at the bottom of your sidebar and made him purr. What a nice & sweet surprise! A virtual kitty is just the thing for me...

ReplyDeleteI love the depth achieved through mixed media. I keep wanting to play around with some more collage myself - I think your birdie might just give me the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteThe lino image is great and is so effective on the textured background - love it!
