Happy weekend everyone. Here it is January 30th already. The month is winding down so quickly, and I wanted to share this page for the Favorite Things challenge over at Art Journal Journey before the month is over.
Today my page is about one of my favorite birds and is also one of my favorites I made for this month at AJJ.
My background was made with stamping, paint, and small bits of printed tissue paper. I drew and painted the branch. The owl is a cut out from an owl image sheet, and the moon is a chipboard piece from Stamperia. I finished the page with some glitter, just to give the page some moonlight sparkle. You can really see it here in this close up.
In the summer I hear the bard owls in the woods a lot, but with everything closed up to stay warm it's been quiet. Occasionally I get to see them also. It's been quite a while since I've seen them, but always a treat when they appear.
I can't wait for when the birds start to sing again, and for when it actually gets loud outside. Here in the woods winter can be so quiet.
Wishing you a fantastic rest of your weekend.
This is a gorgeous page with the beautiful owl, love it. The month has certainly gone b really fast! Enjoy your weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGood morning Erika, I really love your page! Your background is really awesome Happy weekend Kathy
ReplyDeleteWe have an owl which we hear most nights but haven't a clue if it is one of our trees or not. It certainly sounds like it. But what a screeching it does. However, I have never seen one out in the wild as you might say. How lucky you are to see them in your woods. I can understand you admiring owls as they are beautiful birds (I have only seen them in captivity, but well respected and looked after).
ReplyDeleteSo to your page - it is lovely, sitting so majestically and by the moon. Love your background.
Hugs, Neet xx
I’m leaving this generic message so you don’t think I’m a flake. I didn’t feel good Friday, and when I woke, the entire area around the eye that got damaged last summer had swollen so badly, I couldn’t open it. After speaking with the vision specialist, the soonest I can get in is Monday morning. I am not to wear the eye patch I was given in case it might exacerbate the swelling, but I am to take the eyedrops I was given from before. Thanks for understanding why I haven’t been to visit you. Love the owl.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty page. I have heard owls in the woods, but have never seen one out and about. I bet today they will be busy with storm prep. Take care and stay warm
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I so love your textures and backgrounds and then the owl is frosting on the cake!
ReplyDeleteErika, that background is soooo cool and so much to look at. The owl and moon are fabulous. This may be my favorite page you did this month. I just love owls!
ReplyDeleteOh My! What a fabulous page - if only time and allowed an owl would certainly featured as one of my favourite things! I love how your owl is sitting patiently in the moonlight waiting for his first mouse! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning page! I love owls too and your page made me so happy with all the detail that you created in the background and of course that gorgeous owl 😁. Loving the wording too - perfect! Thanks so much for hosting such a wonderful challenge over at AJJ, I had fun playing along. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
