While talking to one of my good friends, she mentioned the idea of a year collage, and I fell in love with the idea. Therefore, I decided to ransack some of my materials to create a collage of what the year 2009 has been like for me.
Sorry for the crummy webcam pictures, but I couldn't find any batteries for my camera. Also, yes, it is crinkly, but it was done with a purpose :).
Each of the groupings correlate to something significant in my life. Because I knew that I'd forget about why I put certain things on the collage, I decided to journal about each of their symbolism on the back.
This was an easy craft project, but it was something that needed a lot of reflection and thought. It was a great way for me to wrap up the year and to look forward to the upcoming one. I think that I might make this a tradition.
What did I use???
-Old magazines
-An old textbook that I found at a friend's apartment complex that was minorly water damaged
-A piece of hard cardstock that was part of an educational tool kit that professors at my university were getting rid of.
-Sharpie
-Elmer's White glue
