Relationship Triptych thumbnails, sketches,....

I've been having some really good dialogs (see comments under early version image of Disconnect) with several people about the Disconnect piece & I wanted to jot down my thoughts here so everyone could see them. Sandy mentioned that the maps & color showing in them should perhaps be brought throughout the entire piece & Kelly agreed that using different papers may be a good idea. She further stated that color added by staining from things like teas may give a neat effect. Color was also an area she commented on...repetition of background colors in the figures which I strongly agree with. I've decided to incorporate different types of papers along with text in the background as a color element. I found some great maps & papers with vintage stamps & postcards on them that I am going to play with this weekend along with working on the figures...hopefully new stuff will be ready for all to see Monday or Tuesday. I'm really excited about all of the suggestions...thanks so much everyone.
