Everything I offer through my Etsy shop is made intentionally, with a focus on creativity over perfection. Collage Whimsy is about playful exploration, trusting your instincts, and finding joy in making mixed media art.
My Etsy store is a creative shop for artists and curious makers who love mixed media, collage art, and art journaling. You’ll find handmade art journals, creative zines, and all kinds of inspiring ephemera and collage fodder designed to spark your imagination and support your creative process.
Translucent pages are one of the most loved elements in my Etsy shop, adding softness, depth, and beautiful layering to art journals and mixed media work. These semi-transparent pages allow colors, collage, and marks beneath to gently show through, creating rich visual interest without overpowering the page. They are ideal for artists who enjoy building depth, playing with transparency, and working intuitively in their journals, making them a favorite addition to handmade art journals and mixed media work.
I also create one-of-a-kind art journals and fabric-covered books made for creative exploration. These journals are perfect for art journaling, collage work, creative writing, visual journaling, and anyone who enjoys working intuitively with mixed media materials.
You’ll also find inspirational zines in my Etsy shop, designed especially for artists, writers, and mixed media enthusiasts. These zines feature encouraging quotes, gentle reminders, and creative inspiration to help you stay motivated, loosen up, and enjoy the process. They make wonderful studio companions, gifts for creative friends, or small boosts of inspiration when you’re feeling stuck.
If you’re looking for handmade art journals, mixed media collage journals, inspirational zines, or creative collage fodder for art journaling, I invite you to visit my Etsy shop.
