Another Project to Try: SoulCollaging

[pegkerr]

anam_cara told me about Soulcollaging, and I got so interested I ordered the book. This is another thing which could be really rewarding to do on the retreat. I'll need to assemble some of the materials to take with me

Scrapbooking stores will have what is called chip board in various sizes that can be cut into cards. Things can be glued to it and it is sturdy enough to be a book afterwards.

Our library has a bin where people can drop off or pick up magazines, which is very convenient for collaging, I don't know if most libraries do the same.

You can get large sheets of mat board at Hobby Lobby (and similar stores that do custom framing), if you get it uncut, it usually comes in 30"x40" sheets for $4-8. I would think that cardstock would be easier though, even if not as sturdy.

You can try a framing place to see if they have any matboard that they are no longer stocking, has been damaged, or has been cut to an odd size and thus not usable anymore. After all, they regularly cut the centre out of larger mat boards while framing pictures - many of those cut outs are too small to be of any real use to them, but they might be willing to sell you a few pieces for your projects.

For craft projects, I save the cardboard backs of legal pads, message pads, and the like from work.
