Surreal collage art from vintage magazine cutouts

Hi there! I'm Rosie and today we are creating surreal collage art! Using magazine cutouts and images from thrifted books we will create weirdly beautiful pieces of unique collage art.

Creating a handmade custom DIY surreal art collage is easy! I share my tips and techniques on how I create my analog collages as I cut out pictures and illustrations out by hand with a small pair of scissors and a craft knife. Finding inspiration from old books is one of the most fun steps to this process. These can come from used books, encyclopedias, magazines, vintage postcards, or anything else you can find lying around your house. I find most of my books and magazines from thrift stores, antique stores, flea markets, Craigslist, or even on the side of the road! Watch as I arrange my elements and try different ideas as I talk through my process to create my final design. And, there is an added challenge of only being able to use materials that you have access to!

Want to try creating your own? Just grab a magazine, scissors, and a glue stick!

OH MY...just when I thought I could not love your weird and quirky style any more...THIS happens, we are so artsy kindred spirits and this made my day!

That boat down the street feels so well placed with the reference to going slower through the pictures. I am thinking like a horizontal development of ideas rather than stackign things. Makes slow relfection structured. Kind of want to be appreciative of structure

I love your collages in todays video. I especially love He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. The trail of petals dropping to the forest floor, the single petal in one hand and the half daisy in her other hand. The canafall is fab too. Your cutting skills are extraordinary and your octopus costume is so brilliant. Talent galore! Thanks for sharing your awesomeness with us.

My mom and dad got married at church called Chapel in the Pines! This made me think of it! Of course your trees are humongous! 👍👍👍

My favorite collage is the ballerina! Just so simple and effective. Also the costume made me giggle lol

[missyb.]

Great job on that costume! Collages were great!

[megsgonnamake]

I can't believe you made that costume! It is so freakin cool. Love your collages. You are such a gem, Rosie!

[joank]

I swear your creativity knows no bounds. I like them all but love Love Me Love Me Not! It's warm, sweet, ethereal and peaceful...not to mention beautiful!

Fun Costume. 🎃
I love each piece... I agree, "Loves me, Loves not" is really beautiful and my favourite.

Always love some wild and crazy rosie. I'm so glad you were kidding watching you turn the pages was hysterical but exhausting. I liked the church in the tree idea but glad you went on to the ballerina which is fantastical.
