Thrift Store Art Transformation | Surreal Collage Cut and Paste #36

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi there! I'm Rosie and this week's video is a little thrift store makeover! I found a framed print at the thrift store and I was inspired to collage over it to make a new piece of art. And since the final collage ended up being the same size I was able to reuse the mat and frame and to have a nice framed and finished piece in the end! I hope you enjoy this journey on creating a DIY surreal mushroom collage from a thrift store print :)

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!

    Brilliant. Can't believe how you transformed the image. I, trudge, trudge, would have kept the original image and hung it on the wall years later, after procrastinating. Congratulations

    Okay, so you've given me the plan. I gave you the description. You floated an awesome idea. I can't maintain the illusion of anything. It is not something I want to drop - been talking about it forever. I could do it. How do I take the space out if it's so wildly designed b/c the imagination is really intense.

    I haven't had a chance to take a look at you from the ground. Your place and your space is quite amazing. I am no long trapped by the system that keeps you busy. I was. I mix up my feelings between the system and you. I am doing my best to seed that sort of nonsense out because I am noticing how hard it is for the natural words to connect. I have been dealing with stubbornness forever.

    I love this idea with the thrift store find. You have been challenging your cutting skills. Lots of small cuts in the two windows, skeleton etc. I love how you think. I love how the duck had reddish orange too, really tied it together.how would the bird on the far right look if you had it overlap the mat instead of tucking it under the mat? Kind of like it is flying out of the picture.

    Same thoughts about the bird on the right. In the end i was a little "disappointed" that the bird lost his head under the mat. But all together I'm overwhelmed how this turns out. Couldn't imagine the final result in the beginning. Awesome!

    That’s actually really cool. I thought you were nuts when I first started watching lol (sorry), but once you started pulling toadstools in front & added the ducks flying... wow. That works on so many levels since groups of flying ducks are used as door & wall decorations, but it’s also about bringing the outdoors inside & how nature overtakes man made structures. You probably had none of that in mind when you made it, and I don’t normally go in for a whole lot of art description or meaning, but it all just seems to fit so easily & well. Just wondering - did you try the table as part of it at all? You’ve got a new sub from me 😁 Looking forward to seeing your other ideas.

    Obvious question, what do I do for work? Marketing (I told you.) Who do I work for? Myself (you know that.) How much do you make? A fair amount. Enough that I can care for my family, that I can maintain my relationship to you, that I can be happy with myself, that I afford my expenses, that I can pay my bills. #How much? It doesn't have a discernible answer. #What? I can't answer questions about numbers. Thos questions are based on false assumptions. I am happy with how much I make.

    My communication skills are no good anymore. You stole my heart. My heart doesn't belong to me. It belongs to some system. i have my heart back, and I can't get out of the system. Thus, I listen to myself, and all I hear myself say is nonsense. I love your work on this collage, very much agree with your interpretation and suggestion. So confused about myself, can't even accept help given such by you to myself. Wanted to make sure to be polite and respectful. Don't know how to explain.
