The Power of Collage
For my January 2008 release Taming Mariella I tried something new. I created a collage. I heard about the benefits of doing a collage from other authors and you can read a great article about it from Jennifer Crusie.
I don’t claim to be an expert, but it definitely helped to focus the story and set the mood. Mariella was such a bold and striking character that I put the same model figure in my collage about three times.
I had planned on showing you a picture, but the upload feature on my blog is presently not working so you may have to check in tomorrow.
For now you can look at Elizabeth Holcombe’s collage.
A fun article by Colleen Gleason with examples.
And an example of Jennifer Crusie’s collage for a Christmas novella she was working on.
Then get out your scissors and glue and give collaging a try.
