Bird with Balloons to brighten up the start to your weekend!
Which probably doesn’t need any help, because SATURDAY! Yay!
This was another background I became enamoured of…..with….whatever, and didn’t want to cover up. But after an expensive trip to Michael’s I got all fired up and finished it.
Before I went through the check out I looked through my cart and removed six items I can probably survive without for the time being, in the interests of not spending a fortune all at once. And no, I didn’t run around putting them back exactly where they belong. That’s my secret confession for today.
The secret to the balloons being transparent is tissue paper! Isn’t that brilliant? I now have a lifetime supply of it in many colours.
Okay, that’s enough secrets revealed for one day. Have a great weekend!
Breathing Space 
My favorite so far! 🙂

I like the pretty balloons, the background of newspaper clips, the owl, the feather and best of all, (ha ha!) the robin. Smiles from Robin

I was wondering what kind of bird that was….lol
It was originally part of the background but too interesting to keep in the shadows.

I love the backgrounds on your work and can see why you wouldn’t want to cover them up. 🙂

I guess I should have a foreground in mind when I start, but usually I wait for the background to suggest it. Backwards art. 😄

That’s the way I tend to do, I never have a finished product in mind. Too much disappointment when it doesn’t look how I planned it!

You both would be brilliant at this! Paper and gel medium, stencils, stamps, paint and ink. And a free afternoon. And maybe a touch of lunacy…😄

Nine of the element air (swords in the traditional Tarot), appropriately involving a bird.
Birds symbolize healing. Confronting grief takes us through sorrow to rebirth. In rebirth the spirit soars. Birds are found in art all the way back to the beginning of humans.

I did not know about birds and healing. Maybe the magpies I associate always with memories of my mother are a perfect example. Thanks Dianne.

Love your confession and think the balloons and their effect are amazing. Also, some unusual effects in the background….upper left…..perhaps unconscious?

Very nice piece, Grandmalin.
(Despite that, or because of it, here’s my secret confession (secret no more):
I get very grumpy sometimes–which no one would ever guess from my blog posts, or comments on anyone else’s blog posts–and sometimes, when I see cheery delights like this one, fantasize about, for instance, taking a pin and popping every one of those happy balloons. I’ve joined a recovery group called W.B.S. (Worry, Be Sad*) which offers hope to those such as I.
*Some say the acronym stands for “What Bull-Pucky”.
Very nice piece, Grandmalin.
