A WALLHANGING - COLLAGE

MATERIALS: 

• Vinyl-covered fabric pieces
• Vintage images and text
• Gel medium
• Acrylic paints and brushes
• Embellishments (I used a flat wooden number and a rusty keyhole element)
• A method of hanging the finished piece

1. I tore some of the edges of the vinyl material and burned some of them, too.
2. Heavy gel medium joined the background pieces together very well. I allowed that to dry before proceeding.

   

   My hanging device is an old pail handle!

3. Since the background was very white, I scumbled some earthy color onto it.
4. Next, I selected the collage elements, arranged them to my satisfaction, and adhered them to the background pieces. I also enhanced the piece with a couple of stamped areas. 

   

   The finished collage - wallhanging.
