A New Sketchbook Project

I am starting a new sketchbook project.  This one is a verse and I am illustrating my poem with pointillist pictures.  I love writing poetry.  The topic I chose was actually inspired by the meaning of my real name ... Sylvana.  My name means forest maiden or nymph and I love the story of the nymphs and satyrs and their endless game in the forest.  I wrote the poem first and them started to dot the pictures.  I am dotting them out of order so to speak.  So this first picture is actually from the middle of the book .  I am currently trying to decide if I need to embellish the illustrated page ( maybe with some silver or gold details ) or leave it black and white and if I should have two pictures per page or one.
Time will tell !
