What are ducks for?


What are ducks for?

This was so much fun! This booklet was a sort of accidental collaborative project with me and my friend. She started making this and at some point got really frustrated with what she was doing. I happened to be witnessing it and we agreed that I'd take the booklet on from where she left of.

I immediately saw a duck there (of course, I see ducks everywhere) and just took it from there. I'm not actually all that sure what is going on with this piece or why the text say what they do, but it was quite an intuitive process of making some things stand out more, adding bits and pieces and fading some other things on the background.

And fun was had:) My favourite part of this are the line of x's on the left, they are actually the stitches I used to bind this booklet.
