it's true what they say: inspiration really will strike when you least expect it. the other day i was surfing through my new pottery barn catalog, and when i saw these fabulous birdcages.....
this image popped into my brain and i had to doodle it onto some paper right away! i'm not sure why the birdcage is sitting on top of a box, but inspiration is a little kooky that way sometimes!
{i'm also not sure why the birdcage doesn't have a door.....maybe that's why the little birdie is so happy?!}
doodle finished onto a separate piece of paper and added to my journal......
watercolor, watercolor pencil, micron pens, 4B pencil
