A Year Of Paper Scraps Transformed Into Art | Mixed Media Magic

Learn how to make gorgeous art with your scraps using this transformative collaging technique. I'll show you how to layer a year's worth of paper scraps onto a wood panel, sand them down to a smooth finish while retaining visual texture, and create a background that looks incredibly dimensional yet feels perfectly flat.

You'll discover the secrets of using gel medium for thick papers, the power of sanding to blend layers, and why gloss medium protects your work. This process works with any type of scraps - medical exam paper, watercolor paper, tissue paper, magazine pages - they all look amazing together.
