The Fun World Of Collage

Collage as A Way to Tune out The World and Still Be Creative

My first attempt at Collage

I finally took the leap recently and started Collaging.

The whole process is a super relaxing way to spend a few hours. It’s a manual craft that allows me to completely tune out the world.

Every time I work on a Collage I enter a flow state. Time passes like magic and an hour feels like a few minutes.

I’m always looking for activities that take me away from my computer screen and allow me to “be creative”.

Turns out Collage hits for me on a number of levels. I can recycle any old scrap of paper in the house, I can collect interesting bits and pieces, I can assemble a Collage without much effort (not the best at drawing as much as I try), and the end result is something tangible.

Learning about Collage

I watched lots of videos on how to Collage in my learning journey.

The more videos I watched the more I realized there are no rules to Collage, just different tools and techniques you can use to create different effects.
