I tried patterns with different colors, the more muted and less bright colors change the mood of the peice. It feels more direct as if the birds are flying towards you. This stencil consist of 4 layers. I think I'm going to stick to this or 3 layers just so that I don't overcomplicate things.
I've also experimented with objects being within objects (to show repeatition.) In this peice the same bird is within the bird. I feel the contrast works well, but the birds need to be smaller.
I've also begun to see the interesting shapes between the birds. These look strong visually aswell.
