birds were called 9

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.

Card 56: watched

Card 57: for certain

Card 58: down

Card 59: double clutch

Card 60: divided

Card 61: blue

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.
