OMAE: DIY Patterned Papers

This swap is all about creating your own collage papers. Sometimes you just can't find what you need in the store so you have to make it yourself.

Create 5 different pieces of pattern paper, 5" x 7" in size (or larger). You can paint, use stencils, make gel prints, use spray inks, draw, print digital creations, rubber stamp, marble, Citra-Solv Nat Geo pages....

Please use at least 2 techniques to make your paper set a little more interesting (example: 2 rubber stamped, 3 gel press).

The paper used can be lightweight printer paper on up to lightweight cardstock as far as thickness goes. We're creating papers that can easily be incorporated/ layered into collage/mail art, not making sturdy backgrounds.

Don't forget to mail in a creative envelope - decorated or handmade from decorative paper.
