Collage Issues: Random

In keeping with this random collaging that I'm doing, I was adhering this leaf down and noticed that one of the corners just will not go down, will not adhere because the thickness, the consistency of the glue is not strong enough, not thick enough to hold it down. So I'm going to straight for the concentrated mat gel medium, and I'm going to put that under that edge right there, and I'm going to make sure that it only stays in that one area because I don't want it so thickly laid out on the rest of the piece. But now you can see how it pushes and squishes out from underneath, but now that means that it's really adhered down well, and all the edges are pushed down as well. And it's important that you maintain a consistency there so that this leaf stays put, because if a leaf is coming up and any of the layers that you put over the top of it, are going to tend to come up as well, and now that I've got it mostly down the way that I want, I'm going to go back to where the really wet medium is and go over it and over it in order to keep a consistency with the rest of the flow of the piece that I've already done. You can see how that happens. And since it's already wet I'm going to go ahead and lay down some other pieces randomly because they happen to be available to me, and that sort of where random work gets to come in.
