playful possibilities resources

welcome!

This page brings together ideas, reminders, and techniques that support our mini retreat, playful possibilities. The 5 pdf files below are offered as gentle guides, not rules. Use them to spark ideas, inform your process, or revisit something that caught your attention at the workshop. As always, I am happy to support your creative efforts ~ if you have questions, just send me an email.

My favourite art supplies ~ most of these are pretty basic so they are easily accessible and affordable.

Mixed media tips & tricks ~ a short summary of the techniques and tricks that I use almost every day.

Printing on rice paper ~ first, know your printer! Don't take any risks with it. But, if you are confident that you can print varied papers, here is a guide to printing images on rice paper.

Where to place my image ~ a few ideas about composition, simplified, along with illustrations.

Is my collage finished? ~ learning when to stop layering can be a bit of a challenge. This short guide includes a few questions and ideas to help you to decide whether to stop, pause, or keep going.

A small request ~ please do not share these resources without permission. Thank you!
