Today we continue to look at ways to use up our paper scraps by turning them into a piece of paper with a crazy quilt pattern. It starts with a messy collage and then builds layer by layer with a boatload of mixed media techniques and mark making. The paper can then be used as a page or cover in a journal, turned into a tag, or torn or cut different shapes for beautiful, grungey fodder.
