⚠️ This Class Might Not Be For You

- If you never save tiny fragments of book pages, fabrics, lace, or old papers…
- If you easily throw things away without thinking, “this might be useful someday”…

Then you’re exactly who this class was made for.
📦 My Simple Box Method for Organizing Scraps
Let’s be honest.
Artists collect scraps.
Lots of them.
But when everything is scattered, creativity feels overwhelming.
Inside the class you’ll also learn how to:
✔ Organize your scraps by size and color
✔ Build a simple storage system that supports your workflow
✔ Turn scrap chaos into a creative resource library
And instead of buying storage containers, I’ll show you how to repurpose ordinary boxes into beautiful scrap organizers that feel like part of your creative space.
Because when your fragments are organized… creating mixed media collage clusters becomes effortless.

The inspiration behind this class
But over time I realized something: we collect fragments much faster than we actually use them.
This class grew from my desire to change that. I wanted to create a simple system where fragments are not just stored, but actually used.
What emerged was a simple process: gather the fragments, create clusters, and then slowly build them into finished collage pieces.
‘Gathered Fragments’ is my way of sharing that process with you.
It’s about slowing down, working intuitively, and allowing small forgotten pieces to become meaningful artworks.
🎨 Don’t Have Beautiful Scraps?
A question I hear often is:
“Where do you get all those beautiful paper scraps?”
Most of them come from my painted papers.
If you don’t yet have a collection of fragments, you can explore my Painted Papers class, where you’ll learn how to create your own unique papers that later become scraps when you start tearing & using them.
Once you start making painted papers, you’ll never run out of beautiful scraps to work with. ✨
Over 20,000 students have joined my classes. Here's what a few have said:
“I’ve always loved saving scraps but never knew what to do with them. This class completely changed that. Now I create clusters all the time, and they add so much depth to my pages.”
“The way this class teaches collage clusters is so intuitive. I stopped overthinking and just started layering. My art journals look completely different now.”
“I learned so many mixed media collage techniques that I now use in all my projects. My scrap drawer finally feels like a treasure chest instead of clutter.“
