PDA, ATC challenge/swap: theme = Music; (#47)

This challenge continues to roll along. It might feel that it is a safe haven for a small number of ATC artists on the PDA site, however it does throw up some surprisingly good interpretations of the themes set.

I sometimes wonder if those themes should introduce newer techniques, since the majority of our entries are basically simple collages. Oh, there is nothing wrong in that - I became addicted to ATC's because I found collages so appealing. Possibly because of a change from my paintings, and the manner in which I could interpret a story in pictures by using simple images. And I loved being able to decide on the composition before glueing it all together.

I am of a mind however to set a technique rather than a theme to see how the participants (including myself) cope with moving out of a comfort zone. But in the meantime here are the entries from this months challenge.
