We are all born with an inner desire to express ourselves. Making
collages, especially in the form of art journals, gives you an
opportunity to express thoughts, feelings, and wishes and to capture
memories. It is a way of collating and putting thoughts in order. You
can look back at filled pages with a real sense of accomplishment. Most
of all it is fun! In Creative Collage, Clare Youngs reveals the
secrets of collaging, one of her favorite crafts. Learn about the kinds
of paper you can use, such as maps, tickets, photographs, typography,
and magazine pages, and how to add texture, use layering, and make use
of geometric designs. Some of Clare's amazing collages are included for
inspiration, and she explains how she chose the materials and
composition for each one. Clare then presents a collection of projects
that offer unique ways to display your collages and even make 3-D
collages, such as a decoupaged chest of drawers and a family photo
wooden block house. Along with helpful prompts to give you ideas for
collages, such as "something you saw on a walk" or "a happy memory,"
this book provides all you need to get started with this personal,
expressive craft.
