What Is the Easy Mixed Media Collage Project?
This project is all about embracing your intuition, letting your creativity flow, and exploring the possibilities of mixed media art. In the video, I guide you through the process of:

Following your intuition: This project encourages you to let go of perfection and enjoy the process of creating.
