Thank you for looking! These are all part of a dummy book too called Birds of the Heavens. I'll be putting more images up of various art work later on.
I had the most experience working with this piece, since this is the image I used to do line and color practices. This image was done on cicada paper first, which is a delicate oriental paper made of crushed cicada wings. Then, it was tested on unstretched silk before being transferred onto stretched silk. My grandparents claimed this piece. :)
Wow, I wish we were meeting in person -- I'd love to see what cicada paper looks like!
ReplyDeleteYour grandparents are lucky; these pieces are truly lovely, and I have a soft spot for chickadees, since that's what my mom called us when we were little.
Thanks. :) This was before the final framing was placed on them, so they look a bit better. If we have a Skype meeting or something, I have cicada paper laying around in my house that I could show you. It's really delicate and sparkly. Quite gorgeous!
