This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.
I have thousands of photos (and don’t intend to stop taking more any time soon!), and have been wanting to try something new with them. Starting with a blank canvas, I worked at this piece layer by layer, knowing only the beginning photo I wanted to use and the quotation by Rumi that I love: “Let yourself by silently drawn by the strange pull of what you love. It will not lead you astray.”
I am happy with the way all these little pieces have come together in a cohesive collage.

Hi Dawn – Collage looks very interesting, and also interestingly photographed. I make similar collage works. I still need to photograph them and put them on my website – bit of an onerous task – but even now there may be a few things there that would interest you: http://www.dkcreative.co.uk
