I started experimenting with collage several years ago, but hadn't really focused on collage until recently. I enjoy collaging for the change of pace and the new perspective that it gives me. I have some flexibility when doing my figure paintings on rice paper with mixed media, but the act of painting is more visual than it is tactile. Collage provides a release of tension; painting feeds it.
Recently, I got stuck on what to do next on a wip collage, so I went searching the internet for blogs that could offer inspiration and instruction. Here is what I found:
Julie has culled the internet resulting in this Collage ClearingHouse blog . She provides articles with pictures and links to other collage sites on the web. It is a good place to start for inspiration.

Neda K. Doany provides an excellent tutorial on how to do a collage at Papiers Colles. Her mixed media collages will also inspire you.
Runaway Moon is another blog with great works by the artist which will definitely inspire the viewer. The artist, C, really pushes the limits in this particular collage piece.
Have you ever wondered how to add sewing to a paper collage? Julie has put together a wonderful tutorial about sewing on paper by hand or with a sewing machine at The Adventures of Bluegirl.
