Collage - Mom

Description

So I just started messing around with collages, you know like the kind we did back in elementary school. Except, this time I am a bit more focused, haha.

This one represents my Mom. She was a surfer girl back in the days. Born and raised near the shores in California. Bleach blonde hair summers on the beach. Her favorite color is yellow, so when I found the image of the yellow surfboard it was perfect for my background! I wanted to depict her full of life, so of course the woman is jumping full force into life. She has kind of lost this spirit these days, and I made this card with the intention of her capturing her spirit, who is this girl! She has always loved shells, and so I gave her a rainbow of them. The giraffe, well growing up, I always remember her having this full sized giraffe stuffed animal in the house...just another memory of my Mom. Somehow I still need to add some butterflies to this image, as my Mom is from the butterfly can on the Native American medicine wheel. Just haven't found the perfect butterfly yet.

The collage card is a 5 x 7, and it is a bit hard to photograph without getting any glare. Sorry about that. Eventually I want to have around 50-60 cards, each with meaning behind them, so that I can pull one each morning and focus on the meanings and how that can help in my life at the moment.

I claim no copyright on this image, as I cut all the pieces, even the background out of magazines, mostly National Geographics. I only claim the vision.
