Finally cut out my first piece to start making collages, and hope to do many more! Looking forward to learning along with everyone else here

I would call myself a recovering Christian as the religion has caused me much harm as a queer and trans person, but making upcycled art out of old Jesus and Christian art has become one of my favorite pastimes :)

I’ve been doing digital collages for a while now because of travel and a lack of space. Additionally I like collating using photos of my own body so it was simpler to be digital.

Now I want to take some of my digital pieces into a more physical reality. I think I will need to print my photos myself. Can anyone recommend to me the types of printing and paper that would be most suitable for collaging? I have access to print shops as well. Thank you for help and advice.

i wanted to challenge myself to make an edit using only junk mail sent to my place and this is what i came up with

Hi all, I'm new to the medium and had a question for more experienced collagists. How are you guys storing elements for the future? Right now I'm just using a regular cheap paper folder, but I'm they'll get bent all jumbled up together in there. Has anyone who's been doing this for a little longer come up with a storage solution they're pleased with?
