"put a bird on it!" - art imitating art???

as I mentioned in a previous post, I'm participating in 

Marit's 

Summer Camp.

today, inspired by a piece she did of birds on a wire, 

an episode of Portlandia, (cracks me up every time!)

(btw - I have been in the shops on Mississippi Avenue in Portland!  LOL!!!)

and the camp prompts,

I created an avian triptych : .)

ever since I purchased my condo, 

I've used a lot of birds and feathers

in my art and in my decor.

nesting, I guess!

I also experimented with blowing bubbles in ink 

to make background paper.

note to self:  

do this outdoors, in a deep pan, wearing hazmat gear.

I am covered in ink.

I am so glad it was non-toxic and water soluble

because I got it everywhere, 

on my hands, face, clothes, the floor, the counter, the stainless steel sink,

yes, even in my mouth, yuck!!!

I love this background paper from Fancy Pants...

its called "Spring Fever".

that's a Donna Downey stamp.

I just decided on the perfect picture to scrap here.


that's all I got accomplished today, 
aside from dishes, laundry, and a nap to overcome some nausea.
hum...

I went to the Greek Festival on Friday with Vicki & family.

o.m.g!!!  we ate sooo much fuds!

it was crazy crowded, but the eats were worth 

the claustrophobia & the cognitive dissonance.

pastitsio, calamari, spanikopita & loukoumades! 

I brought home some baklava & kourambiethes.

awesome!

I wanna go back tomorrow!
