Comfortable in My Own Skin

Birds and houses are a reoccurring theme in my work.  I collected houses for years.  Now they are in my work.  There is just something about them.  A friend did a set of houses and the M3 group spent two hours planning all that we would do in those artsy little houses.  Maybe that's what it is... I can dream about all the fun we could have in a darling little house.

I just like birds in my art.  I'm not a bird watcher in real life.  I think in art they represent freedom to me.  They can fly. They can go where ever they want.  They are free!   In art they can also be funny or smart ass.

I like these birds on a wire.  They are a sizzix die.  The words are a Riley and Company stamp.  They have so many cool sentiments. The background is done with acrylic paint and found stencils and maybe  bit of stamping here and there.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  I'd love to hear from you.  Your comments make my day.

Creative Everyday:  The theme there for June is childhood.  This quote is perfect for my childhood.  I never felt I as was as "normal" as everyone else.  I felt I was different in some way I could not identify.  I was not so comfortable in my skin.  So glad I grew up and did the work so I'm very comfortable in my own skin these day.  And being a bit different.... well it's a good thing now!!
