i love birds. so this weeks challenge for "Dans ma Maison" couldn't have been more me. so much so that i got carried away and made two. I am so thankful to Jan who introduced me to these wonderful challenges, especially when one is sort of in a blank creating mood and shuffling things around without the light bulb going on. here are my little bird collages. i picked black for one of the houses with a bit of white charcoal scattered on the roof for one and beiges and browns with a twig and three dimensional matchbox applique for the second. lots of materials too, puffy paints, wax, embellishments and miniature nest and bird from the craft store. hope you like them.

as i wander through my favorite blogs i come across works that take my breath away. jan created this piece for the Anne Bulles Dorees "dans ma maison il y a du blanc"challenge http://www.dansmamaisonilya.blogspot.com/ and i can't stop looking at it. ofcourse i had to give it a try and came up with a little whimsey too, stayed up too late actually and in the process erased my previous blog entry. so here i am patching up the mishap.

then everything turned white and i began painting every tag i could find white and making little affirmations to placce on a tray in the entrance of my home.
