finishing

I am pleased with how this collage has worked out. Although I am unsure of how to do the sky; I tried a flat background but it looked really out of place compared to the rest of the piece. 
I think the second pattern works best, it is softer and sort of blends in behind the mountains without drawing too much attention. 

I felt the piece was still feeling quite unfinished, like everything was sort of floating rather than fitting together. So, like with the 'rolling under the stars' quote, I added some shadow which I think helps give a heaviness and sense of depth to the layers.

It is only a slight change with a bit of shadow between the trees and on the side of the mountain, but I think it does make a noticeable difference. 

I made some changes to the moon in the 'rolling under the stars' collage, so that it fitted in more with the sky. 

I just made multiple layers of the shape, but with rougher edges, and had varying shades of opacity. I feel it blends in more with the scene as the outline of the moon is less harsh against the background - it doesn't clash as much.
