Halloween decorations: sparkly black bat, witch with big nose in black, witch with big smile in orange, holding pumpkin and broom.
So, we were unpacking Halloween decorations and I inadvertently placed these three into a basket before we decided where to put them. But now, they look like they're having so much fun together, I hesitate to separate them. π

Bee asleep in white Rose-of-Sharon flower (purple middle), hugging middle and covered in pollen.
Look at this precious little darling who fell asleep, cuddling the middle of the flower (Rose-of-Sharon.) π₯° (Yes, it was alive, and lazily waved me away when I checked.) π

Collaged face of John Lennon with multi-colored glasses, a nose with music notes on it and brown (from feathered paper) hair.
#collage is fun, y'all. You should do it. π (Made during a class called Paper Portraits as part of the Summer Creative Retreat, hosted by the fabulous artist Peggy Dean - of The Pigeon Letters fame and taught by the amazing Claudette Hasenjager.)

Colored pencil rendition of baby blue bird with Sesame Street's Bert as a stuffie under its wing. Pan pastel sunrise in back with warm shades of purple, orange and yellow.
Sometimes the early bird simply wants to go back to bed. π (Colored pencil w pan pastel background - first time trying these out!) Powered by Human Art, no AI. Admittedly wanted to pay a little homage to Sesame Street too. I love that show. *sniff* #birds #coloredpencils
