Birds of a feather

Hi Everybody!

It's still very cold here, and last night was evidently the coldest one in about 100 years, and we're all longing to go out without those icy winds. We were lucky to at least have blue skies and sunshine, which cheered up more than grey skies.

Today I have a hybrid piece made with  one of the napkins Yvonne sent me. The image with the deer was pasted to a gessoed BG with acrylic medium. I then digitally put it onto a grungy BG and added some other creatures (Mischief Circus):




Yesterday the moon was up while the sun was still shining:



These photos were taken on my Saturday walk by icy minus temps:











Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. Good morning Val! I love your quirky creatures, and how they all look so haughty! Great fun. It's still very cold here, too. The kids love it, but I wish it would warm up a bit! My mum had a fall, but apart from a few bruises she seems to be okay again, poor thing. Have a nice day, stay warm! Hugs, Sarah

  4. Terrific arty page today Valerie. Yvonne's napkins certainly take a new life in Blogland.

    Love the photographs and my faves, as always, are the shop window ones. I need a tip on how to take them without a reflection of me taking centre stage please.

    Hope it gets warmer soon--same here as well today

    Love Chrissie xx

    1. You need to stand at the side of the window and take the photo with the camera at an angle of about 45° to the window

  9. Wonderful page. The stag looks quite handsome in his Edwardian garb. It must be very cold there as even the birds are puffed up trying to stay warm. Love that green bunny. He would look good in my Zensical garden. Stay warm

  10. That is a cool page today Valerie. Yvonne finds the best napkins. And you put them to the best use. :) I am glad lots of folks are thinking spring. Love all the Easter displays from your walk. It surely means the nice weather is on its way-soon I hope. Happy end of February. hugs-Erika

  12. I'm very fond of the images you used in your piece. I would have bought those napkins in a heartbeat! Nice use of them. Oh, Easter displays! I am getting ready to get a little spring decor out. I know we'll have snow this week -- maybe that's why I need it now!

  15. I love the Birds of a Feather page Valerie, a wonderful meeting of eccentric animals. I do wonder what they would be talking about.
    Super photos, it is good to see the items in the shop windows as well.

  18. What a fabulous page! We have had our coldest day yet with alternate sun shine and snow (some really blowy storms) and now it is really cold - bed socks tonight I think!!! Loved seeing your photos, the shop windows of small shops fascinate me - we have too many chains in town! Stay warm! Hugs, Chrisx

  23. Still playing catch up and loving your Birds of a Feather page. I adore how the napkin shows through to the book page below. It's fabulous.

    Looks like the stores are getting ready for Easter. I think that green bunny is very different and unique. Hope you survived the incredibly cold you are experiencing.
