Birds of a feather

 Hi Everybody!

Short post today, got  a lot on my plate!

These tags were once a sheet of paper on which I made a quick bird painting with water colours. Our new challenge at Tag Tuesday is birds, so I  cut the tags from the page and made a duo of tags. Then I put both of them onto a black background, 8x8" and ade them into a journal page, which I am linking to my anything goes challenge at AJJ:








Hope to be back to normal soon and have more time for blogging!

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

  4. Good morning, Valerie: The outline of the bird on the left tag clearly indicates that it is a swift. No doubt there will be a special award for coming up with this piece of erudition and I shall be checking my mail carefully over the coming days and weeks. Birds are already returning from their sojourn in the south and two days ago I saw my first genuine migrant robin in my backyard. He is a very handsome fellow and soon will no doubt be occupied with raising a family. "Our" crows have proven very faithful and they visit us every day for their snacks, responding to Miriam's voice when she calls them. They are such handsome, glossy birds, with swagger and confidence, and smart too. I only wish I could send them to peck Putin's eyes out. They would get the job done. Today, at the very opposite end of the bird scale I will be giving a presentation on hummingbirds at a church. Probably the only sensible buzz that happens there! Hugs and kisses - David

    1. Wow, you recognised a bird from a painting, unbelievable. Let's see if that award comes your was! It's good to see the birds returning. Our magpies and crows dominate the scene here with their loud voices, but they are really beautiful. Today it snowed, a lot for our region, must have been nearly an inch! And I had to wait ages for a taxi home, because everythign breaks down when it snows here! Had to laugh at your last comment with the buzz at the church. 'To everything there is a season...' Hugs, Valerie xxxx

  5. I love these tags and your theme Valerie. I have some ideas to make a couple. It won't be today as I have 2 appointments, but tomorrow I'm planning on an art day. And nice meme selection today. It is true we take our daily life and those in it for granted sometimes. That moon and stars one was nice. Is today the day you go home? Welcome home if it is, and I hope all goes well. hugs-Erika
