Build Your Confidence - Portrait Of You - Collage

"Confidence comes from success…But confidence also combines another quality because you can be successful, yet lack confidence. It requires a mental attitude shift to an expectation of success. And this alone, can bring about more success, reinforcing the confidence. It spirals from there."
Jason Hihn

Step 6: Texture and mood

Texture is what something feels like.

  • Which textures would you associate with each feeling?
    Try feeling any surfaces and fabrics around the room you’re in for a texture that might inspire you.
    What do they feel like?
    Do they match your chosen feeling/s?
  • Add these to your new mind map. You can write them down first or sketch them

Look for images of textures in magazines to find the best match

Find textured materials around the house or garden that could be used in a collage: textured wallpaper, a scrap of velvet or silk, a leaf or a shiny button etc.
