Chicken Collage Day 15 (February 1, 2012)

Today I had a chance to get to the studio and work on this collage for a while. I am making a chicken made up of patterns, an idea that suddenly popped into my head while I was watching some beautiful chickens and admiring their plumage. I like the face on this chicken, and don't want to do too much to it. But I have been trying to figure out what to do with the neck and back. Early this morning, I looked on the internet for photos of different chicken breeds to get some ideas, and saw that some chickens have a kind of ruff around the neck. So I decided to try that, as you can see. I think this approach will work. I also filled in some more of the tail feathers with black and white polka dot pattern.
