I was really able to experience the hardships while doing this artwork. A really good example of a hardship is that I was going to finish it before I slept and me being dumb I decided to actually do it and I started the collage late at night at around 9-10pm and fully finished by 2 in the morning. I was able to engage and persist when problems arise especially when I had cut the paper wrong and just went with it, and when I was hot gluing the crayons to the cardboard and once in a while the crayon would slip down and not stick. I needed to envision my finished project the entire time, because most of the time I just went with the roll of it regardless of what it actually looked like. The only thing that was actually going through my mind is that "Its the thought and the memories that count".
This collage is based upon my childhood and the fact that I was obsessed with drawing and cutting out figures of weird things and played with them as if they were dolls. I never really like dolls as a child but I was really into creating my own playable characters. So I decided to find very old cut outs that I have created from over the years to about 2 years ago. 2 years is the closest to now but goes way over 5 years ago. I also glued different colored paper and even overlapped them to give it a more original and creative background even though that colors of the cutouts clashed badly with the melted crayons as well.
