I started my collage with the CD cover of my favorite band. I initially did a transfer of my friend and I inside of the hour glass. I wasn't pleased by the collage at first. It lacked depth and emotion. After taking a chance and pulling off a large part of my collage to uncover the crowd of people below, everything else fell together. I didn't realize until i was finished that a teardrop was created in the middle, this finally gave it the emotion that i was searching for.
