Spring continues to burst into bloom in South Carolina. This week, I’ve made a few leaf prints in warm greens and yellows to add to my collection of collage fodder. Thinking about what to make next, I’ve gathered prints into groups. I look for the following design elements…
- Color combinations that suit the season
- Light, middle, and dark values. I like some black and white elements in addition to colors.
- Organic shapes (leaves, flowers, bark) and structural shapes (stone walls, grids, stripes)
You can help me decide which one to do next. Which of these groupings of collage papers do you like the best? Is there a piece you would eliminate? Would you emphasize one of these design elements (color, value, shapes) more than the others? Let me know what you think in the comments and I’ll consider your ideas in my next collage.

Hope you all are staying well and safe.
