I have been attempting to art again!

Oh my!!! Will wonders never cease??!! I finally have something to add to my blog. I am taking part in Marion Bocklmann's Annual ATC swap again this year, unfortunately having missed the last two years due to my accident injuries in 2012.

I have also made a few other things as well, and will try to get pics up of these after I add my entries for Marion's swap. This year's theme was "Bird People", which birds just happen to be one of my favourite themes to work with, so I hope these meet with approval. This is the Drake family, and as usual, there is always one little black duck in every family. 

Please note that Mrs Drake has had a "special do" just for this family portrait,  but I do think father could have taken more care with the razor!


Here we have Heron-aldo and his partner Flamingko participating the world championship Flaminko dancing. Such a handsome couple! I do believe they are worthy of winning the Gold Cup, don't you?


Ms Pea-henny is always careful to keep her future offspring close at hand. Too many times eggs are eaten by the two-legged, wingless creatures that roam the bushland for such culinary delights.
