Overthinking your collages? Try this instead! My Glue and Go collage method is a fast, intuitive way to create expressive mixed media collages without planning every move. It’s about choosing papers that speak to you, layering shapes and textures for contrast, and letting your instincts guide the composition. I developed this process during my 100 Day Project, where I created one collage a day in my sketchbook. Working this way completely shifted my art practice and helped me stop second-guessin

Every paper in this collage started with something simple, like a comb, a bottle cap, some glue, or anything else you could find around your house. With just a bit of acrylic paint and a curious mindset, everyday household objects became bold, textured collage papers layered with energy and rhythm. That’s the part I love most, how the ordinary transforms into something expressive, unexpected, and completely your own. When you take the time to create your own materials, the final collage becomes

This collage was made entirely from papers I created using everyday household objects as mark-making tools. You can get the most wonderful spirals from a trivet, uniform circles from bubble wrap and bottle caps, or organic patterns from a soap dish. With just some acrylic paint and a playful mindset, these humble items turned into bold, textural papers layered with rhythm and energy. That’s what I love most about this process: how something ordinary can become expressive, dynamic, and completely

Ever wish you could skip the overthinking part of making art and just dive straight into creating? That’s exactly why I developed my “Glue and Go” collage method. It’s a playful way to make spontaneous, intuitive art with zero hesitation. This approach came out of my 100-Day Project and quickly became one of my favorite practices because it makes collage feel effortless and fun. Instead of planning everything out, you simply focus on instinct, contrast, and movement, letting shapes and colors gu
