Creating 6 collages in 6 days (December 17 - 22, 2023) | Creating during a busy time of the year

This time of year, can be very busy. It was that kind of week for me. We can get so busy with other responsibilities that we don’t have time for ourselves, much less our art practice. In this video, I’m showing collages that I made this week. One a day for 6 days. Each one was created in around 15 minutes or less. Thanks for watching!

Creating 8 small collages in 8 days (December 24-31, 2022)

December can be a busy month – celebrating holidays, organizing and planning for the new year or finding time to decompress. December 24 – 31 I found myself busy with other responsibilities besides just making art. I did find at least 10 minutes per day to create small collages in my 5” square collage art journal. These collage sessions gave me the opportunity to play and explore. I didn’t overthink the colors combination, composition, or materials selection. I hope this video inspires or encourages you to make time for art.

FYI - Sections of each collage session was edited out or sped up for this completed video to avoid dead air while gluing the collage paper off camera or watching me slowly marking the page with a pastel crayon.
