Today I have been experimenting with simple bird drawings and various views, positions, species. It’s amazing how a slight change of line can convey such a different feeling. I’ve been stuck with weird blank looking faces on all my birds and need to figure out how to make them happy smiling birds instead! I have been sketching and working in Illustrator all this time, but realized it was time for a break…or maybe a nap?

One thing I really like to do is leave little notes. I’m a huge fan of post-it notes, so darn handy! But sometimes they are just really boring to look at. So I create little note cards to scribble notes on for friends and family. It can be the most mundane message, but a little cute character makes it so much more enjoyable for the recipient. These little birdies I think are perfect for the purpose (even if they are just the first generation!) Leave a note in your child’s lunchbox, tape it on the bathroom mirror or top it off with a lovely paperweight on a table…it’ll surely bring a smile. Enjoy!

Hi from the fishbowl! These are so cute! I think my favorite is the purple guy with the sideways belly.
Hi Laura! Thanks for visiting and guess what?! The purple one is my favorite as well. It came about by accident – definitely a happy surprise
Great blog, very professional looking with the perfect amount of cuteness. I love the shape of your photos and your little birdies
Now back to the fishbowl for class 6. I can’t believe we’re at the end already, I haven’t found time to post my responses in 3 weeks!
Okay, just read your questions over at the fish bowl and I’m so happy you asked because I wonder all the same things!!
Thanks Kaci! I’ll see you in the fishbowl…so much to digest and respond to, sometimes I feel like I might overwhelm anyone who is listening! I’m sure we’ll figure things out as a community – chin up
