Fatbird ~ mixed media collage

6.5x8.5 mixed media/wc paper, novel page, napkin, alcohol inks, Montana marker, Micron 01 pen done a few days ago.  The blue green paper I glued down is actually a Wendy's napkin that was used as a blotter while doing inks.  Colors were too nice to throw away in the bin.  The little bird was ink sketched onto old discarded novel paper then cut out and adhered with matte medium.  Orange yellow Montana marker was applied to the background.  When dry I used gloss medium varnish to seal collage elements.
