Practical Idea

Been thinking of ideas as for what to do for the practical side of the project. I am straying away a bit from the collector's collector guide idea that I was thinking about. Since then I've done a lot more research. I noticed in quite a few case a lot of people were starting to become like characters from their toy collections. Dressing like their obsession. For instance, Ron Broomfield dressing as a gnome and in fact was buried dressed in his gnome costume. Which relates to the concept of collecting because of existential anxieties. Quite a lot of collectors see their collection as an extension of their personality and that the collection remains to live on even when they have passed, therefore in a way that they live on too. 

Taking them ideas on board I came up with the thought of making a toy and then either collage or sewing or drawing a human face or features onto the toy representing the owners features integrating with the toys and becoming one. A bit of a hybrid of the two. Plus I thought that if I repeated that toy over and over and over again and placed them into a very neat and precise order. Potentially make my own cabinet?  Follow Rosie Fairholm's board COP Practical on Pinterest.
