inspiration monday

i recently came across this fabulous little birdie how-to over at non dairy diary, and i was so inspired that i declared that very moment "play time"!
 start by painting some watercolor splotches on your paper......

and then outline them with a permanent marker.

add eyes, a beak, and all those other birdie things......

and you have a nice little flock of chickadees!  

but why stop there?
somewhere in those watercolor blobs there might also be some piggies.....

and mousies.....

and bunnies......oh, my!

cyberspace is jam-packed with spectacular ideas......
let inspiration and a little play help you to put your own spin on them!!
(and i figure if you're having lots of fun, you're on the right track!)

 sumi brush, strathmore 400 series w/c paper}
