Chickadee #1 (Hand-Pulled Collagraph of Bird on Blue)

When I was growing up my parents set their bird feeder up so that it was attached to the house and could be reached from the dining room window. I remember opening the window and sticking my hand out the window and sitting very still and having the chickadees come to feed. Recently I thought I would try to create a collagraph of one of these guys since I see them daily at my bird feeder. Initially I intended it to be black and white, but decided to carry it further. Somehow the black and white didn't quite work. I have included a photo of the black and white stage prior to adding color (below).

Chickadee (black and white collagraph)

I was originally going to leave this as a black and white, but I decided it just wasn't there so I decided to carry it further and add color which you will see in the next post.
