I did a collage about a 1.5 years ago, just to be doing it.  Okay, not just to be doing it but because I felt a "strong push" to do it.  I was feeling very stuck.   Yes, i was going thru something at the time and was painting a lot and just flitting from one thing to another like a driven woman!  Well, I finally did the collage and it turned out to be so beautiful and "deep".  

I looked at it recently (we moved this past October and I had stored it away) and saw it "anew".  There are pieces within it of my children, my husband and my mother.  It also shows what I was feeling at the time that I did it and includes my hopes and dreams. lol

I saw this post and just had to put in my 2 cents  

Doing a collage is good therapy although I dont do it often.  Putting the last one together helped me to get "unstuck" and opened my mind to new ideas.

That's awesome, AT! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks AT, that is exactly why I want to try it.
Now that I know it works, I'll be more motivated to try.

Oh I will,
but the real reason is to see what my 4 teenagers are thinking. I can do this in a way they won't know I'm "spying".

Not wrong, after all they are teenagers. I have great children( don't think I don't), but they are teens and I need to keep them on the straight and narrow.

I am afraid to see what I have to see about me, but this just stuck a chord I really want to follow.

Lots of love to you both, I will let you know.
