With this gem of a book, readers are invited to trust their instincts
-- and play -- as they follow the advice of an award-winning collage
artist.
Whether using dried flowers or tiny shells, spaghetti or postage stamps,
Jeannie Baker draws from the world around her to make work that is
singularly beautiful and imaginative. Incorporating a wide range of
textures, her arresting collage pieces have earned her international
acclaim. Now she shares her secrets and encourages readers to get
creative: each of the four main sections in Playing with Collage
presents an abstract collage by the artist and offers suggestions and
starting points for anyone aspiring to master the art.
