Playing around with Betsy the Birdie

Meet Betsy my mixed media bird for the Beauty and the Beak! Betsy was created using torn and distressed magazine page, cut-out eyes from another magazine in recycle bin, dress making tissue, acrylic paint, Inktense block colours, pen, and watercolour paint. Betsy is looking a bit dishevelled because she toppled out of the nest before her wings were quite ready to fly but she is "Hanging On" (found text - that was a good magazine). Hanging on to enjoy the wonderful life she has been given. Can't wait for my grand-daughter to ask to see my book when I see her tomorrow. I think we will end up giggling together!
