In watching collage videos over the last year and a half, I have seen folks make collage paper or writing directly on the art piece they are making calling it asemic writing. It looks like this sometimes. It's where you write as if you are writing something real or it may even be real thoughts, only written in a way that although it looks like writing, it can't be read. I have done a little of that on a piece or two. there are even some stencils with different kinds of asemic writing that can be used. It adds some interest or layers.

Is your Mother mobile? My Mother is 91 and lives by herself, although the house and yard is too big for her to take care of now. It's really time to downsize, but she doesn't want to leave. Typical story that I've heard or read about along the years about others, so I'm not surprised.
