• 5 x 8 Piece of cardstock or cardboard
• 7- 8 Pre-selected pages torn from magazines with primary images (people, animals, objects)*
• 7-8 Pre-selected pages torn from magazines with larger background scenes (nature, interiors, patterns)*
• Glue stick
• Scissors
• Pen and paper (or whichever supplies are most comfortable for journaling)

*How to select these images: Sit back and have some fun flipping through magazines and tearing out pages with images that resonate with you, move you, or somehow seem to be calling out to you. Try to avoid overthinking it and simply go with what captures your attention. Don’t worry about cutting anything out—we’ll get to that in the workshop! Digital images will work as well if magazines aren’t available. Simply collect some on your computer using the process described above.
