This book guides the reader through the art of collage, exploring both the practical \u201chow-to\u201d and the deeper meaning behind the practice. It includes a hands-on chapter on materials, sections devoted to different techniques, and a final chapter on how to create a book for your collages. Quoi makes this book particularly compelling is, first, its focus on creating meaningful collages centered on personal experience, and second, the 55 prompts it offers to help you begin your journey. Richly illustrated with works by other artists, it is a real encouragement to take out your scissors and paper and simply get started. I truly loved this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I make a letterpress card that says “Practice Takes Practice.” Anyone who commits to daily exercise, yoga, making, or anything that involves skill knows this to be true. Developing a practice takes commitment, which means regular, focused attention on continual skill refinement. It’s never a perfect process. There will be ups and downs and setbacks, as well as “Aha!” moments and breakthroughs.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This book guides the reader through the art of collage, exploring both the practical \u201chow-to\u201d and the deeper meaning behind the practice.
