HI everyone. Happy Wednesday.
Yesterday the sun came back out, and it was a nice day. The boat trip out the one of the Channel Islands was on. I was surprised how steep the hills on the island were, but we managed to have a nice work out walk. We also saw some island wildlife as well as lots of dolphins during the boat trip. On the way home there was a giant pod of them, easily up to 1,000 of them. It was amazing, and even the boat people said they had never seen so many dolphins at once. Once I get photos squared away, I'll share some with you.
I am back today with a page for Chris' All Kinds of Weather challenge at Art Journal Journey. I am also linking my page to More Mixed Media where the challenge is anything goes with optional black. And lastly, I am also linking for day 17 at AEDM at Leah's blog.
The weather on my page today is some wind, especially the high level warm thermals the birds like to soar in.
I painted and spray inked on my paper to make the background. Mr. Wind is warm today, as thermals had to be created for the birds. He is a die cut I've had for a long long time. I also die cut the swirls of blue that create those upper level thermals. The 2 birds, which I had hoped would be more like eagles (but somehow their heads just don't cut it) are images I traced, inked and outlined, after I fussy cut the tracings.
Finally I added the word fly. Soar might have been a better choice, but then soaring is a part of flight for some species.
I also have a tag for Valerie's challenge at Tag Tuesday. This time the theme is anything goes. This is a tag I made quite awhile back, and this photo has been sitting in my computer tag photo file. I used some inking, stamping, a couple of Art By Marlene punch outs. I gave her paper foil wings and a flower too.
Only a couple more days left on our California adventure. I want to apologize again if I haven't made it to your blog on a regular basis, and let me say thanks if you are stopping by mine when I've missed some of yours.
I hope you are having a great week too. Thanks for visiting.
