Chicken Collage Day 14 (January 23, 2012)

After too many weeks away from this project, I finally had a chance to work on my chicken collage today! (The idea for this project popped into my head early this year while I was admiring some chickens at Long Hill Gardens. The patterns in their feathers were wonderful, and I suddenly thought about creating a picture of a chicken made up of patterns.) Today I finally filled in the remaining gaps in the body. Then I added a few more pieces to the wing. Finally, I filled in some more polka dot pattern in the tail feathers. As I worked on this, I began to smile. There is something about this little chicken that makes me happy. (Or maybe it's just the joy of making art.)
