A Little Collage - Fill Her Nest

I made a little collage on canvas board this weekend. It was so hot yesterday that I needed to cool off by late afternoon. My studio called. I have had this image sitting on my work table for about a month. I added the bird nest digitally and printed it off and it just sat there. She is so thin and straight. I love how her head is turned looking at something other than the photographer. I painted and glued random paper then covered and wiped off gesso. I also gessoed and wiped the metal pieces. I wanted a sort of neutral look to them. Anyway, she's going to be attached to a journal cover.
