Below is a sheet of paper onto which I planned out my colour scheme using the colours I already own- given that the packet of tissue paper comes with a myriad of colours, it's easier to have a visual representation of exactly which blue, or which pink, to use. Also, some very basic sketches of the inside structure of the lantern which I then planned to build and use-- I'll be adapting these later when I finish my lanterns.
Below are my original sketches for the 3 compositions. I have since edited the bird once to make the birds bigger, and also added dreamcatchers as an element instead of butterflies (final composition all the way below). I'm still working on the girl composition but I plan for it to include dreamcatchers as well.

One special thing I'm trying to do, is come up with original dreamcatcher patterns that relate to the lantern. For the bird one above the dreamcatcher's actually made out of five-pointed curvy stars, if you noticed! and for the girl composition I am trying to come up with one based on tiara designs-- I found a book in the school library on the set/costume designing behind the film
Lord of the Rings, and I'm now fascinated by patterns.
