It seemed good at the time

I took over a portion of the study lounge today with my collage materials (yay weird stares.) I was looking at the works of Hope Kroll and loosely basing my work off of hers. I noticed a lot of her work has one central image and then that's expanded upon.
As I was working on it I actually really liked it. It took forever due to cutting things out over and over (you probably can't see it in the picture but there's 3-4 layers depending on where you look). But when I went to take a picture of it for my blog, I suddenly found myself not liking it anymore. So I guess I'm soliciting advice/critique?














And a bit closer up

    Hmm.... put it away for a few days and then take a look at it.

    Also, I think you should move beyond magazines, maybe start using other sources for images - old books, old encyclopedias, old picture books, catalogs, etc. Also, you might consider your backing paper - perhaps use something stiffer like a bristol board? And what about colors on the backing paper...

    If you ever need help picking out bristol board, I have a lot of experience with that... and rubber cement is actually amazing for this kind of thing.
