✂️ 🪡 Inside You’ll Find

  • Unexpected surfaces to play on—eco-printed papers that become doodle backgrounds, or a strip of drywall tape that takes a cyanotype print.

  • Simple accents that change the mood—a circle of rust for a sun-like design, a glint of metallic foil, or a patch of vintage silk necktie fabric.

  • Tiny stitches that bring pages to life—threaded lines or little motifs stitched right onto paper.

These eight ideas are quick to try, easy to mix and match, and meant to spark your own experiments for small art that feels personal and touchable.
