happy birthday to an extraordinary being
Did you know that octopuses have nine brains and three hearts? They are smart enough to untie knots, open jars and complete puzzles. In this colorful undersea scene, a bright orange octopus waves its many arms. This nontraditional birthday card is for someone as remarkable as the octopus.
The original collage was created from book pages, newsprint and Japanese washi papers. These were painted, torn and glued to form this image.
