The Collector’s Cabinet – Free Project 1054 | Mixed Media ATC Mini Collage Tutorial

Enter the World of The Collector 

Step into the world of The Collector— a mysterious figure who gathers small, extraordinary things too beautiful to lose. In this free mixed-media project download, you’ll create three miniature works of art called Collector’s Palettes — ATC-sized vignettes that feel like relics from an imaginary museum.

Each palette explores a distinct theme:

• 🖼️ Forgotten Portraits — faces from the past, preserved in paper and texture

• 🦋 Natural Oddities — specimens of beauty and wonder

• ⚱️ Lost Relics — artifacts of imagination and memory

This free download includes written instructions, creative prompts, and a few collage images to get you started.
