A whole nother direction

I wanted to show you a whole nother direction in my art.  This time the assignment was to do a collage.  Now, mind you, this is something I had never done before and I wanted it to be old fashioned and reflect my life.  My anchestory.  I fretted and fushed over starting this project because I wanted it to turn out perfect.  I'm a bit of a perfectionist and this required me to simply "play" with my art.  What I came up with reflected the fact that my Great, Great, Great Grandfather Elijah Howe invented the sewing machine.  Here is my completed project.
