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!

    For future reference, if you need a bit of wiggle with the mounting squares you can put a bit of liquid glue on the pad after removing the tape. That will give you a little bit of slip for long enough to shift something slightly if needed.

    Very fun result! I don't think it needs to close. You want the inside to be seen! I made one in a sardine tin years ago and glued a little flat bamboo piece to the bottom so it is free standing.

    I just recently found your channel, and OMG! I am so glad I did. Your collage work is totally awesome. I absolutely love it all. I've never seen anything so amazingly creative. It's not like you simply put some glue on images and slap them down, no, it is obvious that you take some time and really think on backgrounds, images, placement, color and contrast, and how it all blends and works together to create the brilliant art pieces that are uniquely yours. This piece is so awesome, the dice really add depth and dimension to the piece. It is so interesting and inspiring to watch you! Thank you for sharing!!

    Cool trick that works really well. After you take the backing off of your foam tape, pull out a glue stick and smear it over the adhesive. The glue stick gives you a little wiggle room to move things around as long as you don’t use a quick stick type of glue stick. The stronger adhesive will connect as the glue stick dries and you end up with a really firm bond.

There is something almost magical about small things! If you like making collages “in things” - I’ve made tiny collages in a book I hollowed a deep cut of - hope that makes sense! I’ve also done collages inside of cigar boxes, an old clock, a tin can, a ring box, a mirrored compact, etc. Possibilities are limitless, right? TFS! Kathleen
