Days 1 - 5 | A Collage A Day November 2025

I was surprised when I saw that the last “A Collage A Day” video was a year ago! This time around, I’m doing things a bit differently. I will be creating in different types of sketchbooks, but I will use leftover scraps along with larger painted and monoprinted papers and ephemera.

I know that not everyone can create every day due to different time constraints and responsibilities. I hope that this video and the rest of the November a collage a day videos will inspire you maybe use some of my collages as reference or try different techniques or even the supplies I’m using. I encourage you to have fun!

Creating a Collage using Transparent Papers

I'm using a few of the transparent papers made in my previous video to create a collage. Also, I'm testing if painted gift tissue paper works as well as painted art tissue paper. Thanks for watching
