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.
ReplyDeleteVery 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I love these yummy colors!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful frame and composed elements- just stunning Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteOh wow this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteFantastic elements. Looks great.
Elizabeth, the fabric strips are gorgeous. It does look Hawaiian. I like the text font. Cool.
ReplyDeleteThe 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

ReplyDeleteI 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" :)
