process: follow that train

This weekend was really busy, but I spent every spare moment working on a sort of gritty, dusty piece with some lyrics I liked from Jessica Harp's song "Follow That Train." Kept this one sort of simple with just a photograph I took on Montana's Route 2, some town paper, vintage fabric and metal stripping. And nails... always nails.

Follow That Train 
I also kept my point and shoot on hand, hoping to make a sort of time-lapse video of the process of this work, but it turns out that hurried, badly shot low-res photos turn into just a hurried, bad low-res video. Here are a few I salvaged to give an idea of the process on this one.

    Thanks so much Tanja... I'm working on rebranding my blog, Facebook and shop so hopefully all will have this new look to them soon :) "Follow That Train" is 20"x16".
