During the VISA class, I was instructed to visit websites and collect images that appealed to me. From that I used images for inspiration, as in the series in Project #2 of the gloves and the frame, with the love note and picture of a bird flying.
I continued to gather images from the internet, often due to Wendy's suggestion on her blog for VISA, sometimes from magazines or cards, such as the birds.

Then, with this wide variety of inspiring images at my fingertips, I chose one part each of two images and combined them into my own image. Also, I was so excited with the addition of an interesting background bringing a new dimension to my images, I downloaded all kinds of diagrams, text, maps, and charts to print and paste into my sketchbook and created over top of these images. I printed one image and then printed another image over top of it before drawing, as in the last image below. I have repeating themes of the armilllary - measurements and increments - birds, and flowers and combined them with portraits.
