– Collages are easy to create. No artistic skills are needed.

– Collages can be small and are quick to make.
– Intuitive collage provides a symbolic release of emotion and can express various parts of your personality in visual form. This can help you to understand and accept your “inner landscape” and can be more powerful than verbal expression.
“Intuition is seeing with the soul.” – Dean Koontz
