Pick Me Apartby ~Kanjimaru67

Traditional Art / Collage

This is something from my Moleskine sketchbook.

For whatever reason, I've always identified with sparrows. They may seem rather common, but there's something remarkable about them---to me at least. They're brave, often to the point of stupidity, taking on much bigger birds and protecting their nests to the death. So in this, I am the sparrow and the grackle ripping out heartstrings on the left is, well, somebody else.

Materials: Tea, colored pencils, pen, white ink, red felt, red thread.
(And yes, I did literally sew the heart into the page

.)

Sorry that this is a little blurry. I think my scanner is on its way out...

EDIT: Oh my gosh! A thousand favorites in under 24 hours? Thank you so much for your attention and comments!
