This little chicken is a work in progress, a collage inspired by some real live chickens that I saw last month. The patterns on their feathers gave me the idea to create a paper chicken made up of patterns. I did a little work on this today up at the studio. I used some yellow paper to close up gaps in the body of the bird. Then I started placing pieces of paper on the tail feathers to see if my idea would work. (I am using black and white patterns cut from the border on the cover of an Arches watercolor pad.) I liked the idea well enough to paste the pieces down. But it looks like I am going to have to buy another watercolor pad because I am running out of black and white pattern.
