When I first arrived at site, I found myself being given a humble-sized room amidst nuns. Nuns, in honor of the Virgin Mary and purity (I‘m guessing), love white. Sheets, walls, dinnerware, linens, fake flowers – everything is white. I needed color. Enter modge-podge. For those who have never heard of this, a quick definition: modge-podging is the process of using watered-down glue and random materials (usually old magazines pictures or scraps of fabric) to create awesome things. You can stay small with journals or vases or you can decide to tackle a whole bookshelf or chair or 3-foot lizard wall decoration. It‘s fun, easy, and, in all honesty, who doesn‘t love peeling dried glue off of his or her hands.
1. Gather materials you will use (pictures, igitende, string...).
2. Lather a small area generously with modge-podge (i.e., watered-down glue),
3. Put the pictures/string/cloth/materials on that area in the way you want them,
4. Smear modge-podge on top.
5. Let Dry!
It‘s truly a messy act of experimentation, so experiment away!
