Dream & Metaphor Print Series

In my screen printing 2 class we are responsible for creating content for the remainder of the course. I wanted to focus on a series of prints that incorporates dreams, metaphors and symbolism.

A couple weeks ago I had a dream about my teeth falling out (twice in one weekend actually!). Upon further investigation I discovered that this usually symbolizes anxiety about growing older and still being attractive.

Wood grain dream catcher = vanity mirror (still trying to think up what to put inside the mirror, I do have one attachment with an idea though). Since this was a dream I didn't want to include the string/feathers/beads that are typically associated with dream catchers. Instead I wanted to use free flowing lines with varying thickness that would gain attention and help lead the viewer's eye.

I am almost finished setting up the separations and I feel like I would REALLY benefit from any feedback anyone can offer. Thanks :)
