Today I focused on some pieces for the book.  The first piece is about the search for myself and Jean. All the elements that are chine colled into the background are pieces that relate to both of us.  The magnifying glasses are to add mystery.  It isn't done but it is on its way.

The next piece is about Jean herself.  The first time I saw her she was reflected to me in this image.  I always thought she saw a man when looking through the photographs, but there she is reflected in the Madonna and child image.  Jean took 100's of pictures of birds, so I included them.  This picture isn't done but is in process.

I didn't know where to start on this week, as I am having more time to write and illustrate Me and Jean, now that I have passed my Thesis Review.  The first illustration I am going to produce is from the first time I saw the mystery person Jean's Name, on the back of photograph.  I will post the finished work when done.  Here is the beginning of my process:

Here is my quick sketch of the actual photograph so I can make my Chinne Colle print
