Synopsis
The only book to focus on creating meaningful, expressive collage
• Exciting step-by-step techniques and ideas for self-expression through collage
• Collage is extremely popular with crafters and scrapbookers
• Innovative viewpoint and inspiring examples
Collage can be more, much more, than just cutting and pasting. It can be a wonderful art form and a means of self-expression. Collage Journeys presents a series of innovative workshop assignments, each designed to relate the technique and format of a collage to its subject. Gathering materials, generating ideas, painting with paper, working in layers, using text, keeping a visual journal—project by project, new collage skills are explored. Stunning finished pieces offer additional ideas and inspiration. For anyone who has ever wanted to take collage to the next level‐adding meaning, subtext, and style—Collage Journeys offers the journey of a lifetime.

September 26, 2009: I have been through this book multiple times and each time I get new ideas and inspiration. If you enjoy anything from being "tactile" with your own thoughts and memories, to doing anything artsy, you will enjoy this book. Not only does it give you ideas, inspiration, and aspiration, it gives you techniques that are fun.
