Last month, on Tj’s Patreon, we experimented with collage. For years I’ve been keeping all kinds of silly scraps for when I’d ever be into collage,  but of course, I threw them all out during a spring clean earlier this year. Oh well, I’m surrounded by enough paper and art materials to keep myself busy for the rest of my life 🙂

Sometimes, trying something or different new can feel overwhelming and like a whole lot of work. And something like collage is simply not happening. If I don’t have a specific purpose or image in mind, I don’t get out all the scraps and scissors etc. Proving me wrong time and time again is something I love about the Patreon sessions. In 3 sessions of about one hour each, we all made so many images and progress! (I just noticed I didn’t scan the 3rd underwater session, so they might still be under the woodblock to flatten)

One of the sessions was a late evening at the kitchen table, and for materials, I had a few sheets of painted paper, Neocolors, and scissors. They say ‘time flies when you’re having fun,’ but it’s also incredible how much we get done together.
