working on that BIRD skinny book thang
SKINNY (FAT) BOOK PAGES:
so i'm working on these pages for the BIRD themed book. i decided that nowhere on the page would i drawn an actual bird. this is pre-bird. or post-bird, depending on how you view that age old argument.
i'm not sure how i feel about them just yet. i feel that something may be missing. i'm going to live with them for a while before i decide. lots of hours of work, and i haven't even started on the backs! these are all different, but i chose to post this particular one because it's my fav. you can see one more in progress over on my livejournal: http://nicci.livejournal.com/
materials: watercolor, dictionary pages, aluminum tape, india ink, hand carved stamp, pigment based ink, gel pen, oil based sharpie, black label tape, tags, & metallic pens on watercolor bristol board.
thoughts? inspirational images to check out? anyone else working on this willing to post progress work? xox

I love your colours. I totally understand what you're saying about feeling like there's something missing. The top and the bottom feel out of synch with one another.

You asked for thoughts, so here's my thought...I think it needs a bird...not a short, fat bird with feathers, but a tall, skinny bird drawn with one continuous line. It's just a thought, though :D. I LoVe the colour and the dotted egg!
