Weekend Art

 Hi everyone, Happy weekend to you. And to all of you mother's, Happy Mother's Day (a day early) to you. 

Today I have some art for a couple of challenges to share with you.

Let me start with Pinky's challenge at Tag Tuesday. Her theme is Birds, and I've had this tag done, but am only just squeezing it in before the challenge ends in a couple of days.

     I inked my tag in blue, and added some Art by Marlene bird images. The little birds were all stacked and I added them to the back of this big bird. However, to add some zing to the big bird, I created a wing and added an actual tail feather. The tweet quote is a die cut.

     I had a poem by Emily Dickinson  about hope and feathers, and I thought my tag would also make a great central image for a journal page. I would have posted my tag earlier if it hadn't been for finding time to make this page. I think they should be posted together.

I am linking my page up to Valerie's and my Poetry challenge at Art Journal Journey.

     To make my tag into a journal page, I attached it slightly off-center to fit the words of my poem. Then I added some die cut feathers as well as a couple of actual feathers along the bottom. I also added a few little confetti pieces too. 

I am also linking this page up to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.

      I hope if you are a mother of any kind, you have a wonderful day tomorrow. My daughter is  coming today to visit for the weekend, and it will be great to see her. ❤ However, I had a big mess in her room that I had to stop all the other things I was doing and clean up.  I'm glad it's all cleaned; which means that her coming home has a second positive (besides getting to see her). BUT, and I just have to write this, grin,  it would have been less work for me last week if she didn't come home. 😉

And to everyone, have a great weekend.
