The Collage Workbook: How To Get Started and Stay Inspired
Both a popular hobby
and a recognized art form, collage encompasses a wide range of creative styles
and techniques--explored here by the creator of the popular A Collage a Day
blog. Offering step-by-step instruction, visual inspiration, and even a library
of copyright-free images, this hands-on guide covers all the necessary
materials, tools, and know-how, from adding color and transferring images, to
décollage (tearing away layers). And to spark the reader's imagination, there
are 50 creativity prompts, such as a collage using the letters of a single word
and many more.
