- various papers
- adhesive
- substrate
- gel pens (optional)
Do:
- Rip various papers into pieces of various sizes and shapes.
- Arrange the pieces until you're happy with the placement before gluing them down.
- Glue down your pieces.
Or:
- Instead of something random and abstract, consider creating an image of some kind - portraits, landscapes, something else.
Notes:
- You could use decorative scrapbooking paper, old book pages, magazines, junk mail, etc.
- Besides mosaic-style images and abstract designs, you can use what you make as backgrounds for other work.
- Consider outing the pieces in a particular colour - something complementary, contrasting, or that simply highlights an disappears and doesn't show up much. Gel pens are good for this.
