Something To Talk About | eBook | A foundational collage book for everyday creative play

Something To Talk About is a versatile, go-to collage ebook designed to support your creative practice again and again.

This 90-page downloadable collection is filled with flexible, mix-and-match imagery meant to be printed at home, cut apart, layered, and reused across collage, junk journals, art journals, Gelli printing, and mixed-media projects. Rather than following a single theme, this book offers a thoughtfully curated assortment of elements you can return to whenever you’re not sure what to add next.

Inside you’ll find a wide range of imagery — leaves, trees, florals, everyday objects, architectural details, spirals, faces, fruits, and more — in a balanced mix of black-and-white and full color. Nothing is precious. Every page is meant to be cut up, painted over, torn, and remixed.

The backs of the pages work just as hard. Each reverse side features monochromatic patterns, organic textures, and subtle designs that function as instant backgrounds, making this ebook especially useful for building depth, grounding compositions, or quieting busy pages.

This ebook is ideal if you’re new to Collage Soup and want a solid foundation to build from, and just as useful for experienced collagists who want a reliable stash of everyday imagery. It pairs beautifully with guided projects, prompts, and story-based work — offering the materials that keep you moving once the instructions end.

Something To Talk About isn’t about finishing a perfect page.

It’s about having something ready — always — when creativity asks, “What now?”

Download it. Print what you need. Use it often.
