love makes the world go

this is an older one, collage on canvas, the heart is done from love poems that have been torn up and glued to a heavier paper than painted with a red glaze. the words on thw heart were done with tile shaped beads. then attached using metal wire, so the float a little.

I like this piece alot but at the same time I'm seeing ways in which I could have done it differently. So last nite I started to do another version of it, and this morning I did some more, work only to fall in love with the background I created and the thought of covering it up bothers me. So I am not sure what to do now.

I've been thinking about going and getting a color copy made of the background and using that for my collage and finding a board to glue it to. I guess once it dries I will have to make a decision.

I'll try to post a photo of the background later.
