In this dreamy art journal spread, I invite you into a “Hidden World” beneath the waves. My mermaid collage piece takes center stage. It is paired with the Coral Whisper stencil. I use layered washi stickers and fabric scraps to build depth and texture. The materials in this piece range from lace to netting salvaged from an onion bag. They speak to the magic of creatively reusing everyday things.

Besides that I have also used Gesso, Distress Inks, Derwent XL Graphite and charcoal.

The finishing touches — flat-back embellishments and soft painted light rays — give the page a gentle glow. Whether you’re into sea-inspired themes, or you love exploring new textures in your work, I hope this video brings inspiration. May it ignite creativity in your own world.
