Drum set for Bruce
I made this drum collage for Bruce's birthday. (Bruce is the mover and shaker of my husband's band - Odd Man Out.) Inspired to try making "paper fabric" (a technique where layers of paper are glued to a fabric substrate), I used that for the background. It wasn't entirely successful; I believe I may have used too much water mixed with the glue and the fabric really puckered on the back. Then I sewed the fabric drum set on and stitched the supports. On the back, I photoshopped a message onto cardstock and attached it by zigzagging around the edge.

Bruce is a lucky man. And isn't all art about experimentation? You're doing it!
I know I told you on the phone, but wanted to say here how much I love this collsge and especially rhw background, wrinkles and all.
