The Three Muses Challenge this week is birds. Create something with birds. This is one of my favorite themes and honestly quite challenging. Almost paralyzing in that there are so many directions to go.
Last chick has been furiously working on school projects so he can have a long weekend out west with his girl. He is dashing back and forth between computers and printers. I decided that I should just hunker down in the studio and create a a piece there.
I chose one of my favorite birds - the crow. I decided to do a journal page with a quote. The border I got from New York Magpie's Eyes blog. Judy was generous to allow me to use a photo of her fabric strips for a journal she is making. I took the photo and made the border strips. I love the Hawaiian fabric look. It is true - birds of a feather do flock together.

Such a great journal page...love the border and the lettering too.
Very nice work!!!
Oh Elizabeth, I love your journal page and the way your two crows face each other, very clever! Also love the way you haave integrated the eggs into the border on the left.
I use a Moleskine for my journal just now and love it, though I think it will be quite bent out of shape by the time I have finished...
Your journal spread is very very beautiful! The crows look very happy, and the fabric pattern border is simply lovely.
Ooooh, I love these yummy colors!!
Beautiful frame and composed elements- just stunning Elizabeth!
Oh wow this is perfect.
Fantastic elements. Looks great.
Elizabeth, the fabric strips are gorgeous. It does look Hawaiian. I like the text font. Cool.
The color palette that you've used for these beautiful pages is gorgeous, Elizabeth. I adore that rich, cobalt blue. It's so striking against your background and I love the way it looks with the sheen on those crows. Fabulous! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Gret journal pages, Elizabeth, and I love the photo below - such beautiful colours.

I love the birds, background and borders, I guess that just about covers it all :)
You're the collage queen! Altered art/mixed media lovers do flock together!
I love crows too and your pages for this challenge are really great!!
That beautiful fabric border is perfect for your crow pair. I love the iridescence of their feathers. Absolutely pleasing to the eye. Well done!
Yes, a scrumptious border and those crows! Wow! I love the electric blue glow on their feathers. This is truly a fantastic piece of art.
Oh, oh, oh, this spread is breathtaking - you knew I´d love it, didn´t you?
Terrific crow piece, and I love your crackled background.
And the saying is o so true, well done.
Beautiful, Elizabeth! The crow images are wonderful, as are all of the border images. The white letters are so pretty here as well. As always, an inspirational piece.
your spread is really gorgeous!! i love ravens and the beautiful border you created holds the piece together so well!
This is really delightful, the colors are really beautiful. I can't say enough about the Crow's, they are fun to look at.

This is great. What a fantastic journal page!
Your work is always so wonderful! Love this journal page!!
A crow...an unusual choice for a favorite bird, but I like them too!
I wanted to take a pic of particularly brazen one the other day who was sitting on the wire right near me against the backdrop of our three feet of snow. Sadly, I was too busy shoveling and couldn't get to my house quick enough.
Love everything about you pages!!! down to the egg in "flock" :)
