For the 2018 Index Card A Day creative challenge,
I created a paper collage & ink series entitled
birds were called
The challenge started on 1st June & ran daily through until the end of July.
My aims for ICAD this year,
in addition to being creative each day,
were to focus on colour observations &
examine balance & flow within each piece of art.
I used 4 x 6 inch index cards.
The lined index cards were purchased from WH Smith
in a clear plastic two holed ring binder.
Below are my final cards in this series,
numbers 56 to 61.
To see them altogether on Instagram,
click here or watched the video flip through below.
I used scraps of coloured card,
some used envelopes,
Distress Inks,
Mod Podge,
& printed bird names.
The images & book text were cut or torn from a bird handbook,
found at a charity shop last year.
