Art has Secrets!!
Secrets that only 'MEMBERS' know.
Collage Fodder Stickers can Make anything BETTER |
It is like playing a game on the internet with one of your grandkids. You follow the rules and they have all these key strokes that you don't know about.
"Tag that box, Grandma," my grandson will say, "you will get 2000 more points." How does he know this stuff? There are no signs, notes, nothing. But when I tag the box, I get 2000 points. Doesn't help though. He will beat me anyway. He knows ALL the SECRETS.
I have a Secret for you - Collage Fodder.
It has great wealth and power in the Mixed Media World of Art but it can also how great power in Your Life. What is it? you ask. The simple definition is 'anything that can be used for a collage'. That means collected things like wrappers, memorabilia, patterned papers OR more importantly, handmade things like prints, patterns, pictures.
But Collage Fodder does not have to stay in the Studio. . . .
Collage Fodder can put a SPARKLE into your LIFE. All those pretty patterns and papers can be introduced to your Daily Life.
Let me show you how it SPARKLES in mine.
Really - Which book Invites you to Sketch??!! |
I like to journal, note take and sketch, so I have looooooooots of books. This little book is 4 x 5 inches. Great to slip in a bag and pull out anywhere. Very inexpensive, but very drab. This is one of my Collage stickers, adds a Sparkle, right?
Stickers are not just for covers. I like to decorate the corners of my pages long before I use them. Definitely brings a smile to your face when you open a blank page and find a little "Sparkle" in the corners. For my Italy sketchbook, I put symbols of Italian life in the corners.
Let me help you Get Sparkling . . . .

Working on my Mushroom Twosomes Page |
I love to take a theme and run with it. I went through my mushroom book and founds some interesting shapes to draw. Had lots of fun setting up these little guys with their partner.
Poppies, Daises & Flowery Labels Make for Great Sticker Fun |
Once your page is full, scan and print on full size sticker paper. I was colouring mine with felts but I found the Avery sticker paper will take a light wash of watercolour too. Want to get Coloured Stickers, I am working on that for you too!! Poppies are done but others coming soon!!.
Why should Kids have all the fun, Get SPARKLING your day with stickers. Even the grocery list looks more inviting!!!
