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!

A well adorned house, including niceties in cleaning places is a huge uplifting part of living.
I love how these turned out. My first thought when seeing the beautiful images was that the collection was a junk journalers dream!

The movement of that artistic style is like a orchestral movement.
I’m rewatching a bunch of your videos. I love your work so much.
Thank you to your aunt on go ing you vintage magazines. I love what you did with the luxury toilet paper and the Zippo lighter. Now you know, you did awesome with the vintage😉👍
Omgosh! That gardener’s magazine is especially amazing! I really enjoy your videos Rosie!🤩🫶🏼

Oh SOOOO envious of those papers, those flowers, ❤️ what treasures,lucky you. 🥰 Hopefully you will show us some more collages you make with them. Just love watching your process, and the fun results. 🙂
Those antique covers!!!! I’m so jealous!!!!!!
You are so fun to watch. I love how you think, try & re-work an idea until you reach the conclusion. Thank you for sharing. That was a mighty big free haul of paper to use. I loved all those big flowers! I hope I see some of those used.
I adore watching your process. Also, loved all the goodies you got from your family member! The Antique Magazine covers were so cool, I'd use those so much in my crafting. I'll have to keep an eye out for them or similar magazines when I'm antique/thrift shopping. 💕
Please please please may I borrow some of your creativity?
Wooooooooow what a goldmine!!!
I loved this! I think the Antique patterns are End papers from old books. There is a whole world of people who love end papers from books. They are often illustrations that speak to the theme of the book. I am about 90% sure the Antiques mag republished End papers for their covers. Aren't they just beautiful?

Oooooooh! Yes, I was thinking wallpaper, but end papers make so much sense!! So beautiful :)
I wish I could have those type of vintage ephemera magazines and stuff here in Portugal. They are so hard to find :( It would be cool to make some collage and mailart too. More videos like this one please!

Nice work, Rosie!
What yummy browned paper. Love getting stash packets! Great collages!
At first I thought the TP roll was a huge marshmallow. LOL. I was thinking you could put a stick through the middle and put a fire underneath. I love your art style Rosie.

Those antique book covers are awesome! Any relationship to archaeology and antiquities class? I know so much of it from Services.
I love what you have done with these. I would have put a toilet in the background of the TP collage. lol
I like the dress!

It clicks with the jump needed to bridge the culture of classic life roles into something that is more of a legacy of this era - which seems like has been going since the dawn of time - that the dress is deeply material expression of the value of classic roles for peoples.
Hi Rosie...I am curious why you don't scan in your magazine photos and print them out before you use them? I always feel compelled to do this so I can use the image again in another collage and preserve the original. Any thoughts?
🤗❤️
I so look forward to each Thursday for your videos. Trying my hand at surreal collages. Having difficulty with x-acto knife cutting and excerpting objects into the background. I find it very difficult to get them tucked in the slots. They bend or won't go in. I get one side in and it slides out while I try to tuck in another edge. Any suggestions?

You may have to make the slit larger.
@eastofhoney

I agree with Gus, making the slit larger might help. I also sometimes use my knife blade to tuck into the slit and twist it a bit to make the opening larger so the image has an easier time tucking in. Hope that makes sense!
'Scott' toliet paper?
hi!! iIhave recently commandeered a bundle of Nat Geos from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, and i got them with the intent of collaging with them but I feel weirdly guilty about tearing up such an artifact?! NGs from 80s on i feel fine about but when do you draw the line between something to collage with and something thats worth keeping as is?? SO happy to see you have a youtube, ive loved your tiktoks for awhile!!!! :)

Hey! :D I used to collect old books and newspapers and just put it on a bookshelf or something back then. But after a few year I felt like the books and magazines could be "honored" way more if I put it for good use (collage art), instead of letting it get older somewhere in my room and being looked through maybe once in a year. Also think this way: What will bring you more joy? Do you just love the book/magazine as a whole? (for me it's f. e. my nature study book from 1900) Or do you really get inspired by particular images? Then go for it!! Hope that helps a little! :)
