Synopsis

With their splendid array of colours, textures and patterns, collages have an alluring beauty unlike any other art-form. One of today's most outstanding collagists has produced this indispensable guidebook to the vast assortment of tools and techniques available: grounds and supports for the work, paper layering, faux-lace embellishing, assemblage (which incorporates found objects for a three-dimensional effect) and more. Impression lifts yield an unusual image that duplicates an original picture, but resembles a transparent stained glass window. Products like webbing spray, mica tiles, crackling medium and crystal gel receive extensive coverage and the entire volume is lavishly illustrated with the author's masterpieces and an artists' gallery.

Présentation de l'éditeur

With their splendid array of colours, textures and patterns, collages have an alluring beauty unlike any other art-form.

Impression lifts yield an unusual image that duplicates an original picture, but resembles a transparent stained glass window. Rubber stamps, with either dry pigment or heat embossing, work wonderfully too. Products like webbing spray, mica tiles, crackling medium and crystal gel receive extensive coverage and the entire volume is lavishly illustrated with the authors masterpieces and an artists gallery.
