I love this book When I got it I couldn't wait to make my first five 5 minute collage!
Hi Randel I've found the book really useful for suggesting collage prompts when you get a bit stuck. Have also picked up on using tissue paper (I'm using dress pattern tissue) to put transparent images onto my work. Joan
Is this the same book with another cover? I have a book with this title. I love, love, love the book I have by the way.
Just received my book from amazon.com yesterday and it is fantastic! Can't wait to dive in. Thank you!
Just got a copy of your new book and I LOVE it. I already make tons of collages but it is so lovely to look at your work (and words) and be inspired. I will mention your book in one of my blog posts.
I would love to see some of your collage.
I have added it to my Amazon wishlist and soon I will buy it. xo

love the book! where can i find the download links? thanks!
I just checked this book out from my local library,and am very pleased indeed with how clear and interesting it is. I'm currently cutting and pasting instead of putting up Christmas decorations or addressing cards.
Hi! Thanks for the nice comment you left on my blog. What a great surprise! I love your book - it currently lives in my studio so I can reference it often. Thanks for the inspiration!
