Thanks! It's good to hear your thoughts. Looking at other people's collages I did love the way they took it around the sides but somehow for my style it doesn't work (for me) quite so well. I have done a smaller piece with painted sides that looks nicely framed and meant to be hung on a wall. I have a few others to post about in the same style as this cormorant then I might get the scissors and glue out again. Cheers!
