I love creating in a series. Across a few pieces, I can find a colour scheme that I enjoy and problem solve design challenges while finding some variation and interest between the pieces.

In this time lapse video, I share the making of a mixed media Raven and Crow series. I used wood cradle boards in various sizes and created 7 pieces at one time. Each piece has its own inspirational saying.

Follow along and create your own series combining images and words that resonate for you. I downloaded royalty free raven and crow images from Pixaby. This is a fun, relaxing way to create inspirational art you can hang on your wall or give as a gift. The wood cradle boards are ready to hang and are a nice hard surface to collage on to.
