Want a simple way to warm up your creative juices? Grab a few magazines and choose 3 or 4 colors you want to work with. Cut a 4"x4" piece of watercolor paper or stiff cardboard on which to collage. Each collage you make will be a monochromatic, or one color, collage. Set a timer to 10 minutes for each collage. Find your pictures,tear or cut, arrange on your 'substrate' paper and paste. Set your 10-minute limit for each collage you make. Here are a few I made a couple of weeks ago. I think if I did this exercise on a 4-1/4" x 5" blank greeting card they could make a nice abstract greeting card. Perhaps I'll try this! How about you?
