Tyger tyger burning bright

I found this project to be slightly challenging at first.  The lack of a "fish bowl" is almost overwhelming.  I thought about a few ideas before I came up with the one I settled on.  My first idea was to compare my cat to a tiger and do something with that (yes, I may be a crazy cat lady).  I thought about the time one of my cats was held "captive".  He is typically an outside/inside cat and loves roaming the neighborhood.  Keeping him inside makes him angry and depressed.  One day he came home injured (not sure what happened to him).  After a visit to the vet it was decided he had to wear a cone and remain inside for one month while he healed.  This made him feel so distraught and upset, probably similar to the way a tiger in captivity feels.  But, I decided that maybe a difficult connection to make in class in our two minute presentation, so I started reading through my 50 questions and wanted to make something based off of those.  What was difficult here is that I could not come up with just one question to use.  So, what I did was made a collage based of half of the questions I asked.  I went through every other question and put something to represent it in a collage.  Once I settled on this idea, it became a lot of fun and somewhat challenging to find a way to represent some of my strange questions.  I would say that this assignment was more difficult than the book assignment just because it was like the bead assignment, very open.  I continue to be amazed at how it is challenging to come up with something given so much freedom.  Below is my collage.
