When I was growing up music was a very important part of my life. I watched my mom play guitar for years, as she sang me to sleep each night or entertained our family. She used to play and I would sing along. I decided at a young age that I wanted to play music, so I picked up my mom's guitar, which was about twice my size, and started teaching myself. Music was my favorite toy as a child, and is still something I use to entertain myself. Isn't that what a toy is? A means to keep a child entertained.
I chose to make the guitar actual size so that it would really make an impact. I added light pink details over brown cardboard with different textures to create contrast. I decided to use recycled guitar parts as well. I think using parts of an actual guitar really brought the project to life. I really enjoyed this project. I think my final product turned out really great.
