This is one that I did as an extra and decided to publish today rather than wait a couple of days for the next one for my theme at Art Journal Journey where I am guest host.
It is an image by Stampendous and reminds me of a wooden bird I once did with Tim Holtz years ago at CHA. I am afraid my wooden bird has lost lots of his bits and only seems to have a little propellor and a measure stuck to his tail left. Maybe now is the time to resurrect him. Here is the page:
He is a Stampendous image, as I said, and he was coloured in using Inktense watercolour crayons. I tried to get as close to a rust colour as possible and went with grey and some other orangey colours as well. I don't know where the words came from but I thought they were quite apt. The cogs were a diecut cut in a beige coloured cardstock and the stencil is from Lavinia, again a second image where the stencil had been used and the ink left on, was spritzed and placed ink side down on the card.
Maybe I should find some feathers for my Tim Holtz bird, I'll certainly be looking at some of my wooden gears to place on him now I have got him down and dusted him off.
Would love you to join us at AJJ with your 'In Gear' creations.

This is beautiful, love the image and the quote. The wooden bird is lovely, it would be great if you could feather it again. Have a good weekend, I hope you are keeping well. Hugs, Valerie
