I read a book called Journal Spilling this week-I thought I would be uninspired as it didn't particularly like the artists style. The book was very good at telling you to go create your own work.
Particularly useful was 'work quickly" so I did. I made three collage bases with about half a pint of glue in half an hour and loved it! I will have to wait for it all to dry now for a couple of days...
