Parchment Notes


This is my entry for the Take A Word challenge this week where the theme is "Insects". I was playing around with alot of color but decided that I really like the clean black and white study for a sense of detail and field note sketchiness for this digital collage.

    I agree-the black and white is lovely. It would make a great cover for a nature journal I think.

    Certainly has the look of a field note sketch, or a page in an old botanical book. Great ianterpretation of the challenge, Lori.
