      You're so kind to say so. I do have some more easy bird projects in mind, but don't want people to get sick of them - but you've given me confidence to go ahead and do it!

    Loop some thread or string around two fingers a number of times into a "whimsical nest" & attach to card background then nestle bird inside it! Lovely whimsical ideas...thank you Anne!

    I love this idea, and your teaching and demonstration skills are excellent! Such cute birds for cards, bookmarks, and my favorite art method-collage. I wonder if gelli painted rice paper would work, and I plan to try that. Could you tell me how wide the strips are? You said about 10” long, but I didn’t catch the width. Thank you so much. I’m happy I found you!

    • @annekenlon
      @annekenlon  9 місяців тому +1

      Thank you, Cathy! Those strips, I believe, were about 3/4" wide. I tried some a full inch in width, but they were a little cumbersome. The 3/4" strips were easy to work with but still gave a nice-sized bird for all the purposes you mentioned. Thanks for watching!

    On the pink/blue/yellow background with the leaves, I totally think about the dove bringing back the branch to Noah on the ark!!🥰 It looks like the water and sunrise/sunset! I want to try making a bluejay and a cardinal by changing the angle of the top and back of the head.😊

    • @annekenlon

    This is working so well as doves on a statue if Jan van Riebeeck (the leader of the settler colony in South Africa in 1652). His statue is always fullnof doves, and the Repurposed book I'm using was printed by 'Van Riebeeck library scheme'.
    I love it when 2 things come together like this.

    Well, as I was watching youtube while making beads from paper strips when I saw your video, I had the resource at hand and just the right size too. So I made one in about 2 minutes flat and it was very easy indeed.
    I was thinking what paper might be good from the point of view of what is on it and old sheet music would be I think.If you didn’t want to cut up music then printing some music onto plain paper then cutting that up would work.
    or…if you wanted to use as part of an xmas decoration or even an occasion card then printing appropriate words like christmas carols, prayers, greetings etc of any kind would add to the context of the bird. I might try it.

    • @annekenlon
      @annekenlon  10 місяців тому

      Thank you! I think sheet music would be great as well, especially the smaller scores. Most of my sheet music is old and quite brittle, but I have some that is in better shape and has smaller notes - glad you're enjoying it!

      Oh, my, I LOVE that glue pin! But I didn't make it! I got it on Etsy - if you do an Etsy search for "glue bottle stopper" you will find a lot of them. The main thing is that is has to have a stainless steel pin (different from a sewing pin) so the pin won't have a rust reaction with the glue. I was ALL the time losing my pins before I got that one - with the beads, it just. never gets lost on my desk. Thanks for watching!

      Thanks, Linda! Actually, I only started paper crafting about 15 years ago - and I was strictly a card maker until I discovered junk journals during the lockdown days of the pandemic in 2020. I live and craft in Oregon. So glad you are here!

  • @jennr7500
    @jennr7500 10 місяців тому +1

    Okay. I thought it was a BIG little bird and when you started tying the first strips I thought how in the world?? And when you said it was easy 😂 I thought.
    The adult in me likes the formal and the kid in me the whimsical!
    And Brylcreem - yes exactly their tag line. Apparently they removed it from packaging at some point but it’s back. 1928 was the beginning and was popular with British pilot soldiers whose longer hair was kept slicked back when in nasty battles. Brylcreem USA (no spaces and the usual period com. If I type the other my text will disappear) has the info.
    And I’m typing while and watching but I don’t know if you said where the background paper came from on the dove w the branch. I’ll have to be kind and rewind. 😂
    Very nice. Now. Will I be able to do this? As you were first cutting the throat (oh that doesn’t sound nice at all) I could NOT see the bird. Like the wood crafter who has to chip away everything that is not the intended result … tada … for you. I may search my scroll saw patterns for a small bird to copy cuz I’m not sure I’ll see the bird throat, beak and head!! 😂
    How many slogans in this text? 😂❤
    Thank you.

      So glad you enjoyed this, Jenn! That paper was actually from a Stampin' Up pack I got a few years ago. They change their collections all the time so I don't know if it's still available. I don't buy many card making supplies anymore, I am so fixated on the free/upcycled supplies for junk journals!

    thhis is called a lovers knot. It is the foundation for making a puffy 5 pointed star. If you hold this piece up to the light, you will see the shadow of a five pointed star. Tying this knot has always been iffy for me; thanks for the simplified directions.

      The "little dab' was definitely Brylcreem (I looked it up later!) but you're right, there were definitely a LOT of great hair commercials back in the day. I looked up some of Alberto V05 commercials as well and they seem to have really played up the scientific research angle in their marketing messages. I love old ads and slogans!
