Day 90: Bird Glider

Back to normality and completely exhausted. I think we will be having a very quiet easter weekend. This is all I managed today, it's almost as bad as paper planes but not quite...I'm feeling a bit fed up and it reflects on my work. I am a bit stuck in all sorts of ways and need to make some decisions. It feel like nothing is working out at the moment me. So not in a good place...Maybe a bird will help to lift our spirits...

Day 81: Bird-Woman Totem Sketch

The ambition for this little sketch is to become an icon-style painting with gold background. If I ever get round to it...

Day 80: Water color snow owl

Day 53: Skinny-legged Bird

This bird is tiny and supposedly it would take only about an hour so that suited me today as we spent most of the day on the boat....That is before I got it wrong three times and had to rip and sew again. Then i felt like giving up and posting my miserable little fabric patch but then I thought no, i'll patch it up. So I did. It turned out quite funny with it's tall legs and it can sort of stand...I like it. 

If you want to make one of your own, here is how: http://jennysbuttonjar.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/little-birdie-project.pdf

It is a project from Jenny's Button Jar-blog.

Day 49: Soap carving

Always wanted to try my hand at carving, I really wanted to carve in wood but it is not that easy to get hold of so soap it is...This little fellow is a 5cm, carved from half of hand soap. It was fun, I might try something a bit more complicated next time, the key seem to be a small knife..

Day 48: Little Bird Keyring

In one of crafting papers I got a little kit to make a keyring babuska but I didn't like their design very much. I have made a babuska earlier that I think is much cuter but anyway, would be a pity to waste the kit. So I made a little bird keyring using materials provided with exeptance of yellow felt dots. Cute.

Here is a babuska I made earlier...

Day 44: Fox and Bird on tissue paper

This is one of my doodles that happen mainly while waiting in a cafe for a cup of something nice. This is drawn in pen on a tissue paper as that was all that was available but I really like it. The plan is to make it into something but time is a premium at the moment so we'll see what happens...

Day 41: Talking to birds 4

This is a picture in Talking to birds-series. I found this picture of a Squacco Heron hunting and thought that would be really intimidating if birds were that large, looking at us as if we were pray. 

Day 31: death of an Unicorn III AND Talking to Birds I

The first picture is 'Death of an Unicorn" version three, I don't really know wht happened with my first two attempts. it was like I went backwards several years to the way I used to draw and then I snapped out of it. This version is quite Paula Rego-esk, without any intention to make it so, funny what mind retains because I never got her art by I guess my sub-conscioussness did...

Drawing number two is on theme 'Talking to Birds' as suggested by a friend of mine. I have been thinking about it for a while and have tried some other birds then i happened upon this picture of fierce falcons. I wanted the birds to be large and person small but drawing a giant chicken was not really it, although funny..maybe i'll try that. If you would like me to draw/make anything you only need to ask..
