My First Post on ITB!

On January 31, 2008 I was not a blogger. Then, February 1 rolled around and I was a part of Thing-A-Day 2. Everyday of February I worked on something creative and blogged about it. By the end I was hooked and started my own blog. Even though I had struck out on my own, I had established creative relationships with a few folks, cignoh included. Cignoh has invited me to join in the fun here at icky tandoori buns, and how could I refuse. I am very excited to share some of my projects with you. I made my second ATC today; this time I used digital collage. I was inspired by a page I stumbled across in Why Birds Sing: a Journey Through the Mystery of Birdsong. The Yellow Rail's bird call sounds like a typewriter. I found an audio clip of it's call and you have got to listen to it - it is really incredible. The information I included on the ATC about the Yellow Rail is from Cornell Lab of Ornithology's All About Birds. The image of the Yellow Rail itself is by artist nineteenth century artist James DeKay.
