I got myself set up to do my icads for the week,
however nothing ever goes to plan. I was
looking at a piece of paper that I planned to use as a border, and rejected it
and decided to see what else I had (I do pages in one of journals specifically
for collages.)
Next thing I knew I was working on a Journal page in my
big Journal. I am into birds in a big
way at the moment. Because it is winter I have seed and feeding stations
scattered around the garden and I can waste a lot of time watching their antics
especially the wax eyes. (They are like
the little blue tits in Britain, fluttering around upside down and very cheeky)
My favourite bird of all time is the owl. Here in NZ our native owl is the Morepork owl, so
called because its call sounds like ‘more pork’.
So this morning I let my imagination have a field day
and created a garden in my mind of birdies having a grand old time discussing
the antics of those weird humans. I love
the quote by Leonardo da Vinci, “The painter has the universe in
his mind and hands.” I think if we keep that in mind when we create
art, we will never go wrong.
Anyway I never got my icads done, maybe tomorrow.
Have a great weekend I am linking this to Manon’s Paper Saturday.
