Welcome to Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday! This is a Galah Bird done on good quality green cardstock (6" x 6") in watercolour pencil and washi tape. The Galah is a type of cockatoo common in Australia. They are in their early fall season now so I thought I would put a scarf on my Galah. I thought it would to give my piece a one-of-a-kind touch! Don't you feel cozy just looking at him?
Washi tape is kind of fun, I should invest in some different colours and patterns!
And have a Happy April Fool's Day, hope you don't get pranked or that it's a good one!
Love your bird, beautifully drawn. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteBeautiful drawing.
Happy PPF xx
A fantastic bird Christine! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow, great way to incorporate the washi tape!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful bird... such a fun piece!! Love your diversity!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
we get galahs a lot around here... they are very outgoing and mischievous... and loud so the scarf is perfect for him lol
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! Such a great idea to combine a drawing and washi type. Your beautiful Galah bird looks really noble with the scarf :)
ReplyDeletehe is fabulous Christine! Love washi tape-yes, you should get more to play with:)
ReplyDeleteLovely! I do feel very cozy looking at him, especially because it's rainy and cool outside. And I got pranked twice today by The Huffington Post. One article stated that Canada was doing away with daylight saving time. I was so happy...and then APRIL FOOL'S! Boo...
ReplyDeleteThe other article was scary. It stated that Ted Cruz had suspended his run for president in the US, so he could move back to Canada and run for the conservative leadership...and then...APRIL FOOL'S! YAY! At least that one had a happy ending :)
haha Martha I just got a Swiss Chalet April Fool's that they are changing their 62 year old sauce. That was a bit concerning but I had a feeling....
DeleteOhhh this is a lovely bird, and yes a warm scarf sets it off.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art. I love the tape, and, yes, you should buy one in different colors.
ReplyDeleteWashi tape - i don't think I've heard of it. This is so cute with the scarf. I need to look that up and see what this tape is all about!
ReplyDeletelooks good. definitely get some colorful Washi tape - they come in so many patterns, it's almost endless.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
Someone already tried to fool me today
ReplyDeleteThat bird definitely looks cozy. I think my cat would appreciate a scarf.
ReplyDeleteI think he's sporting a new Blazer~~~ You work is so delighful. Thanks for starting my day with a smile. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely drawing of the Galah Bird and he would certainly need his scarf if he was here today. Clever use of washi tape.
ReplyDeleteOur morning newspaper had an April Fool which fooled us completely.
Oh he is gorgeous and yes I feel extra cosy looking at his fab scarf ;)

ReplyDeleteBeautifully sketched, Christine! And the washi tape gives it a bit of pizzazz.
ReplyDeleteYes, Christine, definitely invest in some other Washi tape colours! i can tell you are having fun with them and it's delightful, as is this marvelous illustration. Well done! :)

Ohhh galah!! I love them. I love all birds but I do love the pinks--and the blues--oh you know where this is going. Happy PPF! xo
ReplyDeleteWell done. The lines though, make my eyes wonky.
