So, what's on my workspace today? The finished result of those little Maya Road bird pages. Sorry, about the blurry pictures, I didn't realize they were so blurry when I was taking them.
I thought a swirly would look nice about where the wing would be, only I didn't have a scrolly stamp, I did, however have a chipboard swirl, which I traced around in black and then colored the shape in in brown. You can't see it, but you can still see the words through the brown, and it's a little sparkly due to being colored over the 'glimmer' mist. I also added a piece of lace for the tail, and a very light gem for the eye.
I also mod podged over the flat parts, so the brown ink kinda spread out over the bird, and you can't quite see the sparkly mist anymore. Here's a close-up (which is also blurry). The back is painted green and has the Yahoo! group name, swap name, hostess name, my name and date. I thought they turned out rather well.In that first photo you can see a snippet of another chipboard book I'm working on. It's a squareish shape covered with green tissue paper and some brown SU ink swiped over the top.
Go check out Julia and see other people's workspaces today. I love your comments.

Great project - I love birds on anything!
Your birdies are really cute Wendy!
How are you? I hope the flood has subsided and life is getting back to normal in your home town!

The bird pages are really coming alive. Love the swirl for the wing and how creative to use lace for the tail.
Really love those birds. One of my favorite images, too. How is your flooding problem? Have the waters receded yet? Must have because you are no longer the lead story on the weather channel or CNN (grin).
You know I couldn't let WOYWW go by without saying hi, but I contracted a virus in my computer on Wednesday. It's still not fixed, but I had to make sure I wouldn't infect anyone before I ventured out to visit. Happy belated WOYWW.
Oh very inventive - the birds look great!
