Every Collage I've Ever Made! 1 Year Of Collage | Surreal collage tour

Hi there! I've passed one year of making collages! Today I wanted to share every collage I've made in the past year and we can see if I've improved or if my style has changed. Such a busy year of 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.

Collages made out of paper have a custom made feel that you can't get from a digital collage made in Photoshop. 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!

I am SO inspired by your work! Extremely fun and surprising. For some of your earlier works where the paper is wavy... I have found that if you turn it over on an ironing board, spritz it with water and iron it, presto-chango, the waves disappear.

Maybe a show with you going over the collages you’re not completely happy with and changing them up?

You are a natural - just the way your mind is always 'on' - open to every juxtaposition that will delight you and us, the more incongruous the better. I am totally inspired. Thank you, generous one!

I liked very much the collage with the greenhouse and the lady dragging the trunk filled with flowers. It is very minimalistic.
