The Collage Magic Blog
Welcome to the Collage Magic Blog, my musings about collage technique, supplies, genres, inspiration, and meaning-making. I’ll share with you thoughts on philosophy, education, psychology, artmaking, metaphysics, and my own life. Thanks for joining me as I imagine, explore, create, transform,
and manifest Collage Magic.
