Mixed-media artist Juju Vail never throws out anything that might good collage fodder. Here are her Top 10 Scrap Materials for Collage:
- Doodles
- Kids’ drawings
- Paper with stains (wine, berries, coffee, and tea. Did I mention wine?)
- Paper used to cover table while painting. Hopefully with test swatches and interesting edges.
- Old books with writing or doodles in them. Especially vintage kid’s coloring books.
- Bits of handmade or Japanese papers
- Kids’ spelling practice
- Pencil drawings
- Paintings that went wrong
- Envelopes with handwriting
