Collage Compositions

I'm working on a textile piece at the moment where composition is the most important element. Not always my strong point! To get some ideas I used my scrapbook paper stash to make these small collages for inspiration. Collage is great when you are doing compositions because you can keep rearranging everything before you commit to a design. I got some great inspiration from the work of Rex Ray who made amazing collages from magazine pages. You can see some of his images and lots of other great patterns that I have collected for inspiration on my "Patterns" Pinterest board. I've got nearly 6,000 pins on 48 boards so if patterns aren't your thing I'm sure you can find something that is!
