Ticket Stub Layer Cake
Eleven ticket stubs from one summer stacked in a single column, each one 4 mm shorter than the one beneath it so the whole pile still closes flat in a 200 gsm notebook.

Spreads
A finished page, taken apart layer by layer — what went down first, what sits on top, and why the pile still lies flat.

Museum Ticket Ephemera Wash
Six ticket stubs and one folded gallery map, unified with a dilute acrylic wash that pulls seven different paper tones into one family without hiding a single printed word.

One spread, two colours, five elements. The discipline is not in removing things but in refusing to add a third tone when the page feels empty.

Seed Packet Ephemera Spread
Eight empty seed packets arranged by sowing month rather than by colour — the page becomes a planting calendar you can read at a glance without a single word of annotation.

Vellum Overlay Spread
A sheet of 112 gsm vellum laid over a dense collage hides about 60% of it and reveals the rest as a soft shape — the cheapest way to make a busy page look considered.

White Space: One Clipping, One Word
One magazine clipping at 38 mm, one cut-out word at 11 mm, and 89% of the page left empty. A five-minute spread that is far harder than it sounds.
