Putting Elements Together

An idea picked up from Brenda Swenson, I decided to introduce the concept within a group I'm in as a joint project.  The idea is to have several individual elements and put them together in various ways.....basically using the thumbnail concept working out composition, pleasing vignettes, etc.

Here is a page of quick sketches I worked in my Zeta 6 x 8 sketchbook with water soluble ink, washing it out and applying a little watercolor after the ink wash dried.  I chose not to confine my illustrations inside of rectangles or boxes but instead free-standing.
