Thanksgiving Collage 2011, Inspired by Starbucks Coffee



Some things simply make it autumn.
 Like a crisp chill in the air.
Vibrant leaves blanketing front lawns.
 And friends and family gathering on Thanksgiving Day.
 Enjoy this coffee with the things that make fall the season to love the most.


I liked this sentiment from a package of Starbucks Thanksgiving blend coffee so much that I made a collage for Thanksgiving. I cut the words out of the package and collected various pieces of artwork that reminded me of Thanksgiving and good food. All of these elements (a scrapbooking term) add up to the ephemera (a museum term) that you see here in this photo -- leaves, acorns, a seal from a wine bottle, a face to represent family and friends, spoon and fork for good food, and, of course, a Starbucks logo from the package.

I painted the background with golden tones, glued everything in place and framed it. The little collage will be a reminder of this Thanksgiving.
