all of the components of this are little symbols of me in some way. "chirikli" is a gypsy word for 'little bird,' hence also the sparrow. four of the letter images are works of some favorite artists (by cicely mary barker, amy brown, bouguereau, and mucha, in that order); the others are a tiger lily, water, a ladybug, and the wings of a monarch butterfly. i began with a 9x9 square, and from there made each of the smaller squares with whichever of the images fit in to that space's letter, choosing the colors for the solid squares afterwards.

First Memory
it was a little tragic.
all the images were found except the baby; that's really me. the lawn, deck, kiddie pool, and rope swing in the background are all from photos found online, and the cake and flowers were colored in and meddled with in illustrator.
