Expression of Bike Love

The next series of layered pages is a little less anticipatory, but continues the "flow of the bicycle."  On the left hand pages of this section, there is both free brush strokes to try and unite the variations of paper colors with an integrated paper and the squiggle down the left hand side is actually a rubber stamp image.  The bike that is peeking on the right hand side of the page implies an image that does not materialize.....

The short periwinkle page is intended to be just enough to move the bike into the next scene.

Because there really wasn't the bike image on this page spread, either left or right, I remember going back and adding the solo bike in the washi tape.......just enough to carry the theme that began on the inside front cover.

.....who knew there was another periwinkle page behind the first lined page - the beauty of layering!

Lots of spaces for writing additions on both the front and back of this charcoal page.  All of these images are from stamps or relief blocks (lines only).....nothing hand drawn on these pages - or in this minibook when I think about it!

Yep, even those little hearts are a stamp on the end of a pencil - like an eraser end.....I think I was going for the notion of "love my bike......"
