Background

Today I started putting together the background of my image. I decided to try collaging newspaper strips, using a paper mache technique  I am not sure whether this will form the background of my image or whether I should build it up to create a 3D skull.

After letting the newspaper dry, the glue was not strong enough to hold the paper so it peeled off. I tried to glue it back down, with little success and the image does not look appealing. This is what I have ended up with. 

Not sure how I am going to overcome this yet. I think I will either have to use stronger glue or scan the image and just edit it on the computer.
