For the collage project I started by playing around with tissue and heavier paper and newspaper print - looking at cut / torn edges , types of glue , tearing once glued etc etc. eventually I decided I wanted a cleaner look and so prepared thinker paper painted with acrylics in various colours as well as some patterned paper from textile magazines. The final products were a series of 3 as follows:-

I then wanted to progress onto collage using oil paints, masking tape, newsprint and fabric. For this I started with some fairly regular tapeon a board, followed by collage and then progressed with layers of oil paint both using brush, oil bars and various tools to scratch into the paint. I found this method to be a successful way to build layer upon layer in a controlled manner.
I thoroughly enjoyed this project and am intending to pursue this oil/collage method more.
