SHCG: Oh my. Sharon, this is unbelievably awesome. I can't quit scrolling back up to it and finding more things to love. I can feel the tortured soul and angst that you were feeling, while at the same time feeling the vibrant woman that I know that you are. This is so creative, yet creative seems so shallow a word for the depth of this collage. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing representation of your feelings during that period. Fantabulicious!
SHCG: I am kuh-razy for your collages, you know that, so I am elated that you shared this. I love the Edward Gorey, the skeleton with the guitar, and the upside down kingdom pieces, and I love how all the images are melded together and juxtaposed so well to make the whole thing look like it was intentionally one piece. I find it really interesting that the girl, who may represent you, is in b/w, while the rest of the collage--life around you--is in color. I wish I knew you then. We could've been great positive forces for each other. We are fortunate to have you, now, in our lives. I can see this same collage in ATC form. In fact, I can see you make an entire series outta this period in your life.
SHCG: This ROCKS! Luv how you captured, cropped, and pasted so many images into this splintered glimpse of your life. And the colors work so well too. Back and forth between bright and subtle. The symbolism is very interesting too. An art class could spend hours debating the images and placement.
SHCG: I love this and I love that you shared it with us. I think it really portrays the place you were at during that part of your life and I'm sooo glad you kept it to look back on.
Sharon this is so very interesting! It seems you definately were going through a wide range of feelings. This is an awesome collage, thank you so much for sharing with us!
SHCG: wow, this is amazing. I'm so glad you got out of this phase too, it's definitely not the you we know. But, it's awesome you have this as sort of a keepsake.
I went through a pretty bleak period several years ago...I was living a fun, edgy rock n roll life in NYC that turned into a crazy, toxic time. This was years before I started "modern scrapbooking," back in these days I used to play bass guitar & crochet a lot; all of that flew out the window during this tumultuous & destructive era. No one I surrounded myself w/ during these days helped me to nurture my creativity; that includes me. BUT a few positive things came out of this time - life experience, wisdom, a clarity about what I really wanted from life, wild oats sown, & an intro to my amazing DH (who was an old friend of one of my exes!). AND this collage, which I created around '99 or '00. I had been feeling down for so long & summed up all my pent up feelings in this project. I'm so grateful I moved outta that period in my life & that I captured it in a collage! TFfreeakinL :o)
