I joined Strathmore's series of free workshops (see the link in the right-hand column) and week one of the first workshop with Pam Carriker started on Jan. 1. Collage isn't something I've done a lot of, and I don't think I've ever given thought before to recycling my own artwork, but that's what this workshop is all about.
I found it's a fantastic way to re-use my digital art... a lot of which has never seen the light of real day, due to a lack of decent printer. The only time I had anything printed off was for commissions, and it was a little expensive for just a couple of prints.
The other use I found for it was getting copies of spreads I've done in some of Patti's journals so I can have a completely different version in my own journals. Too cool. :)
I went out to Patti's studio yesterday and we spent about five hours playing with that recycling theme. As usual, it was incredibly productive and I came home with three journal pages for the week one prompt. All the images are my own, except for the dog tarot and text pages (which I got from Patti!).

These journals pages are wonderful!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! In answer to your question, I am enjoying the class especially since it is free. I like to keep busy and it helps to keep inspired. How are you liking the class?
I bought the smaller size journal and also it is the mixed media journal not the watercolor one. Which one are you using?
What a wealth and range of images... looks like you too are spreading your creative wings!!
All three of these are fantastic! I'm really drawn to the one with the hand- no pun intended. What a powerful image!
