… for Diane over at Mixed Media Monday, this week. I enjoyed the red challenge so much last week, I went straight back to my LTS journal and slapped the paint about again! I wanted birdies too, so I cut a couple of very basic stencils and included them on the pages. My DD objected to the use of pink (magenta, actually!) with the purples and blues. I am a creature of habit though, and tried to explain to her that I like contrast and bold… but she was having none of it! There were references to ‘Ken’ and ‘Barbie’ in there somewhere – not sure I follow that though!
Purple Rennie birds???
This isn’t finished yet, but because I think it would translate well to fabric, I am going to try and put it on Spoonflower and see what a swatch looks like… and then I may add sentiments to the spread. I am not sure yet, though. What do you think?

/ August 30, 2010Ooh lush Rosie lush. Pink is perfect as you know and love that little splash of green. Have the bottom two birdies had a spat. I don’t think they’re talking to each other at the moment… perhaps one ate all the food on the bird table!
