It's a FANTASTIC collage, michelle, and i see you put a lot of thought and effort into making it. I wish i could make one this great!!!! i hope it's ok if i tell you my impressions. i see this 2 ways. 1. it's a dartboard with your thoughts. hitting the bull's eye with the cigarette represents precision, accuracy, and aiming at that which would produce the highest payoff. perhaps this is a vision of your wish to finally one day hit the bull's eye and beat your addiction? 2. it's a CD. your words represent the lyrics which would explain your struggle with your addiction. perhaps those words would give us insight into whether or not the word "delighted" was meant to be ironic or not. i know some people who hate everything about smoking; they just do it because they're addicted. Others do find pleasure in it. The title of the song is Delighted Smokers, and perhaps your lyrics talk about this irony of how something so addictive & harmful could be pleasurable. i hope i understood what you were trying to say with your collage. thanks so much for that link. i took a peek and loved what i saw. i will go back and study his collage closer. i spend a long time looking at images, and each one requires much time to try to understand the message. i also want to study his technique. i like it a lot! hugz sheila
