I came up with 25+ ideas and techniques for creating beautiful collage, journaling, and mixed media papers on the gel plate. These are not one-and-done demos—each technique could be the basis of an entire creative session on its own! And when combined? You’ll walk away with the potential for hundreds of unique prints.
One of my most frustrating moments as a mixed-media artist is finding a beautiful paper at the store… in the wrong colors. You know how it is…. you love the texture, you love the finish—but the palette doesn’t match your project or your style!?
Decorative papers are the unsung heroes of collage, bookmaking, journaling, and just about every mixed-media practice. They’re not just background—they’re voice, mood, and message. And they’re one of the most satisfying things to make with your own two hands.
