Oh my goodness, collage is my ABSOLUTE favorite thing to do with paper!!! I would have to say that 3 qualities you have to possess or learn are: bravery, patience and flexibility. Also, you can't be married to anything preconceived, in my experience. And know when to stop.... :-)

Totally agree!

@andreajohnsMyPotteryBliss 3 жыл бұрын

When I buy a paper pack there are always pages I don’t like. I use them as bases so they don’t go to waste. I have to say I’ve never needed to make more scrap on purpose. Scraps are randy little buggers as they seem to propagate all on their own.

This is one of my favorite videos you have shared, and considering how much fun and informative they all are, that is truly saying something good. It does help when steps or guidelines are given, to include an example or two. I am so visual, that the old saying about “one picture is worth 1,000 words” definitely applies to me. Thanks for sharing info as well as bringing a bit of laughter into our day.

This is the best explanation of collage "how-to" I've found. Before I took up journal making I didn't give collage a single thought. But seeing how much it gets used in JJ world, I have struggled to understand the how and the why. Thank you for this clear and detailed explanation of the collage process. I've been trying my hand at it lately. While I think I may be improving, these tips will surely help! The summary at the end was helpful too. Thanks, Rachel! ~Marci 🥰
