I love textures and pattern, they form an important part of my collage work. Mark making is great fun and you can quickly build up a wonderful collection of creative papers to use on all sorts of projects.

Here are some of my favourite techniques made from bits and pieces found around the house. No need to order lots of expensive materials! This is a great one for the kids, you can send them on a hunt around to find things that can be pressed into paint or an ink pad and then can be pressed onto paper to make a mark.

I like to use recycled paper and card as much as possible. I use old cereal packets, pages from magazines, envelopes, packaging from delivered parcels, pages from half used note books, really anything I can make a print on! I used gouache paint but you can use any paint you have. I also used stamping ink pads but if you don't have them they are not essential.
