What if I have never created art before?

Mixed media collage papers are a great way to get started as a newbie! Everyone started their creative journey somewhere! Be kind to yourself and practice. Remember mistakes are good, it means you're growing. Have compassion and trust yourself. The key is in the process not the end result (albeit inspiring if we like the final piece). Relish in the journey!

How are the designs made?

Some of the visual elements featured in the designs may include artwork partially generated using artificial intelligence tools.
