He had some broken stuff or nonworking stuff he couldn't part with for sentimental reasons, like his father's fishing hat and a tag from his first trip to Roaring River. Then one day at Bass Pro, I saw this art thing with a taxidermy fish that gave me an idea on what to do with his broken stuff.
I collected his broken rod, too small fishing vest, old hat, pictures of him fly fishing in Montana and a fly box that no longer properly closed.
Then I looked for old looking picture frames (thrift store), a big rustic frame (75% off at Hobby Lobby) and a fish. Never came across a taxidermy fish, but I found in a garage sale free box a key hanger "Gone Fishing" sign. I scrounged up some cardboard and scrap fabric and off I went.
Then I arranged the items on the backing overlapping onto the frame. (I sewed the fishing vest together so that all four layers were attached to each other). Then I used a whole lot of hot glue to put it all together.

That DOES look pretty cool!
That turned out really cute! :) Does your husband like it?
After looking at it he said, "I need to tie some more old fashioned flies to put in that fly box." So, I think that means he likes it. :)
That looks fantastic!
I love these collages! Yours looks fantastic. I have an artist friend who makes them with vintage lady's gloves, old buttons and old music sheets. Gorgeous!
