Cowboys' Gettin'-up Holler - Vintage Paper Collage

This is one of the collages I created this summer while staying at a friend's house.  It features an image from a 1954 book called Childcraft: Creative Play and Hobbies, which I purchased at a local library sale.  The book contains all kinds of games and activities for children such as drawing and painting, cooking, making toys, and planning a party.  My little cowboy was in a section on theme parties.

I paired him with a song from a 1930s school children's music book, vintage text, and a cicada image from an old dictionary.  A cicada has nothing to do with cowboys (as far as I know), but I needed something in that spot and was working with a limited stash.  The caption was from the activity book and is so sweetly retro that I just had to use it.  The only new item in this collage, which was adhered to a piece of watercolor paper and measures approximately 4x6 inches, is the star.  It's a piece of clipart from a Stampington publication.

 Thanks for popping by.  Have a wonderful day.
