I still love making collages to support my muse. I don't make one for every M&B, but I'm certainly making them for my longer books. This is the collage I made for Zoe's Muster.
It helped to have all the main characters there on my wall and it also helped to deepen my sense of place for this book. Every time I left my "real world" and came into my office, this collage helped my transition into the world of the book.
So now I'm working on a sequel to Zoe's story and I've made another collage. It took me a while to get it the way I wanted (not in artistic/visual sense, just right for my story). This is how it looked when it was laid out on my dining table before I stuck it down.

Zoe's Muster sounds so very interesting. It even appears in the booko.com.au search!! I am looking forward to reading it so much and to know there is a sequel makes it even more exciting!!
Collages are an interesting way to capture inspiration, lots of the sewing blogs I read have collages of their seasonal sewing or colours that inspire or influence.
Hope your writing is going well!!!
They both look great! I'm looking forwards to Zoe's Muster too.
Thanks to both of you. Release date is July 25th. Still a way off, I guess.
Not too far though! At least it's not November :)
I love this idea Barbara. I'm a big fan of vision boards (more on that on my blog www.pamelacook.wordpress.com) and I usually do scrapbooks on my stories but the idea of having a novel collage on the wall sounds very inspiring. Thanks for the tip.
