Lots of ideas in this one
Without a question Claudine gives great advice and instruction in this book. Lots of ideas for scrapbooking, collage and just crafty folks. I would definitely recommend her other book "Beyond the Unexpected" as well. She also has DVDs that are awesome for those of us who learn by watching. She's a hoot!

Inspiring
The work profiled here leans more toward fine art than craft, which is a welcome diversion. Worth the purchase for some really fresh altered book depictions.

A good resourse for the beginning collage artist
Brommer approaches collage from an fine art point of view. Most other books I have looked at tend more toward the scrapbook and/or kitchy altered art genre. He has an excellent section on art paper preparations and basic design.

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. ...

Multiple pieces of their artwork are shown. One project is featured with ...

Unleash Yourself!
I love art books but prefer to check them out from the library instead of buying them - I'd rather spend my $$ on supplies. However, when I find a book I want to refer to over and over again, I buy it. This is one of those books! Traci takes you from simple, quick techniques to more in-depth, time-intensive projects. The best part? With a little time & patience, ANYONE can master anything ...

Collage "Bible"
***** I have been reading collage books in order to get ready for a collage class I'm taking next month; while all the ones I've read have their strong points, this book is truly the "Bible" of collage---it contains the widest and most in-depth information of all of the books I've read. It covers so many topics, and for a beginner, enables me to see just what can be done with collage. As I ...

Full of great ideas and clear instructions
Usually I buy these types of books and page through them - loving the pictures, but never thinking it is something I could actually do. With this book I immediately went and purchased some materials and sat down and tried some of the simpler ideas. I love how the author took the time to make clear step-by-step instructions and included a LOT of pictures for the steps. There are projects that ...

Ca marche!
I'm using it right now for French 201. The only drawback is that it has a french/english dictionary in the back and not an english/french like the previous book. I think the authors presume that we shouldn't be using english at all (or minimally). Even so, it would come in handy for those of us still struggling with vocabulary. Merci!

Lush, be inspired!
I've had my share of disappointments with collage books. So much of the rubber stamping craft craze has moved into what we call "Collage". I was afraid this book would be hyping rubber stamp and craft company products. Never have I been so WRONG! This book is by and for artists who are working on original ideas. The "how to's" are not for cookie cutter projects but informative in recipes (wheat ...

Vintage Collage-works by MAryjo & Sunny Koch
I love this book! I am an admitted fan of Maryjo Koch's work since discovering her feather art on some wrapping paper. Unlike many other books on collage I own, every image in this book appeals to me. Her "technique" instructions are helpful and there is a great section of clip art images to cut out or scan in the back of the book. I also like her ideas for easy, tiny projects like collaging ...

Finally, "cut to the quick" information free of filler
I have just finished reading "Collage: A New approach". It it quite impressively well-written. The information is concise and easily understood. I appreciate that the author didn't waste my time attempting to educate me on the principles of design. I didn't have to muddle through project instructions to find the information I was looking for. This book is very informative and quite ...

Amazing, current resource
This book gives plenty of "project how-tos" but is not as much a "craft" book as is indicated by the tags heretofore attached to it. Contemporary artists doing collage in methods you might not have imagined are included. The work of these artists is amazing and inspiring and leaves plenty of room for growth and experimentation for the collage artist. I highly recommend this high-quality text.

Impressive
I am very impressed with this cookbook. I've lived in Colorado for nearly a decade and had seen this cookbook in lots of homes and stores. It seemed like a 'tourist' attraction... boy, was I wrong. I love this cookbook for a number of reasons. One, my food is devoured by family and friends and they actually 'ask' for my recipes! (A secret dream of mine). Secondly, my kitchen seems to be ...

Art Is...Janette Schuster
What a most wonderful book. Most artists struggle with sharing techniques with others. Here Janette Schuster and friends share full details on a number of magical projects that are so clear and concise, even someone who feels like they have two left hands, will feel that they can create and be happy with the results.
