Master Collage Sheet
Select a sturdy surface of your choice, such as, cereal boxes, posterboard, or mixed media paper.
Next, grab your piles of painted and printed papers. If you like the look of neutrals mixed in, grab some old book pages or vintage ledger paper, too.
We'll be tearing (or cutting) these papers, then gluing them all over the substrate you've chosen.
On your own, you can add additional layers of stamping, acrylic paint patterns, focal images, etc.
This master sheet can serve as: postcards, tags, book pages, book marks, etc.
Note: It may be fun to create a master collage sheet in one color scheme, such as: monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split complementary, etc.
Suggested Supplies:
- thin cardboard, posterboard, or mixed media paper
- painted and printed papers-handmade, commercial, or both
- old book pages and old ledger papers (optional)
- scissors and glue stick

Stacked Rocks Watercolor Painting with Gel Pen Details
Inspired by the lovely work of Kate Rebecca Leach of Essoldo Design,
we'll be pulling out our watercolors (or water-soluble markers, if you prefer), to create a stacked rock design.
Once dry, we'll add gel pen details.
Plan to have 2-4 going at once, to allow for the needed drying time (or use a heat tool).
Suggested Supplies:
- 140 lb. watercolor paper-cut down to 4.25x6 inches
- watercolors in reds, blues, and oranges
- gel pens in white and gold
- extra fine tip permanent black pen
- round brush
- water jar
- paper towel

Layer It Up-Writing on Gel Prints
One of the beautiful techniques of mixed media is working with layers.
A layer is one thing going on top of another.
For this activity, we'll use a variety of markers, pens, and inked up brushes to "write" over gel prints.
Your writing can have real words, or just the look of handwriting.
If you don't have gel prints, you can use magazine pages, scrapbook paper, old book pages, etc.
Suggested Supplies:
- gel prints or other papers
- paint pens in a variety of sizes, India ink, brushes, brush markers, etc.
- Sharpie China Marker, ball point pen, etc.
- stamps or stencils that look like writing (optional)
- plastic table cloth or drying area
- art apron
- water jar
- baby wipes and/or paper towels
