I’ve hoarded receipts, ticket stubs, napkins, and more for years in order to make little memory collages of my travels. I recently began dabbling into magazine cutouts and using photoshop, and am having a ton of fun learning new programs and techniques.
Most of the collages I’ve made are scattered throughout bullet journals, tucked away in storage, or lost in the ether; I hope you enjoy the few I’ve got to share, and I look forward to making many more!
collages
Most of the collages I make are physical, using magazines, scissors, and tape. I usually find a color combination that I like, and then search through what I have to find pieces that fit.
Earlier this year, while helping my parents move, I spent several months in a retirement community for people aged 55 and older. I was a regular at water aerobics there, and have fond memories of learning about favored Corelle china patters, grandkids, and protest strategies.
Five days a week, at 8am, bluetooth speakers would pump pre-recorded instructions out to the pool deck. Classics like “heel to bun,” “feels good in the shoulders!” and “abs tight!” were daily staples that still play in my head.
I made this in honor of the ladies I befriended, and it was my first shot at photoshop since 2007. If I ever decide to finish it, I’ll switch out the bottom left font and create more contrast.
