This project grew from my disdain for white 'blandness'...

Although I ultimately decided to keep the white (it allows me to do anything I want with other colors in the kitchen/dining area) I wanted to bring nature inside.  I liked the idea of B&W, storybook style drawing and after several uncharacteristically windy days in a row, I began to think of all the different ways nature 'rides the wind'.  My daughter geniously came up with the bird idea after I told her about my idea for the dandelion :)

Details without Detail...
