I am a huge lover of birds, this year I hope to be able to identify a few more. Sparrows are a huge challenge for me and many others for obvious reasons. My other challenge is forcing myself to work outside of my comfort zone of using such spare backgrounds.
This is exquisite, Vivienne! The colors are yummy, and I really admire how you did the brown, white, & cream with the ionic columns—perfect for the amazing diversity of sparrow species! (I'm a bird lover, too.)
ReplyDeleteThank you Fi! The brown, cream and columns were from the yearbook, can't take credit for that part. I originally was only going to have 5-7 sparrows on top of the pedestals and then I couldn't stop adding them.
DeleteVivienne, if you're moving in the direction of using patterns in your background, let me recommend this box of postcards as a terrific source for patterns: my last batch of collages have all used patterns from that box. There's 100 of them!
DeleteA+++ WORK !
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too many sparrows, Vivienne, lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteLovely work ! I love all the sparrow heads!
