First of all, I just want to say that you did an amazing job of capturing Rufus in this fabric collage ... I am truly awestruck! May I ask where you learned this collage technique? A class? A book? I ask because I would like to try my hand at it. Regarding the tulle overlay:Karen Eckmeier uses a tulle overlay for her Happy Villages technique. In the workshop I took from her, she encouraged students to audition several different colors of tulle in order to find just the right one. Just a suggestion for your next collage.
