birds were called: 2

For the 2018 Index Card A Day creative challenge,

I am creating a paper collage & ink series entitled

birds were called

The challenge started on 1st June & runs daily through until the end of July.

My aim for ICAD this year,
in addition to being creative each day,
is to focus on colour observations &
examine balance & flow within each piece of art.

I am using ruled index cards which are 4 x 6 inches.

Below are cards 8 to 14.

Card 8: a particular moment

Card 9: isolated

Card 10: words

Card 11:escape notice

Card 12: greater times

Card 13: white tail

Card 14: one time

The lined index cards were purchased from WH Smith
in a clear plastic two holed ring binder.

I am using scraps of coloured card,
some used envelopes,

Distress Inks,

Mod Podge,

& printed bird names.

The images & book text are cut from a bird handbook,

found at a charity shop last year.
