How to Make a Collage: Technique #1
"What's Left Collages"
by Charlotte Lyons
In this article, designer and artist Charlotte Lyons shows how you can use a grid system and a collection of trinkets, treasures, and found objects, to make a mixed media collage. It all started when her mother asked her to clean out her dresser drawer. Small bits of everything from broken jewelry, and stamps, to letters, buttons and seashells rattled and rolled around the drawer as Charlotte cleaned. All at once these things that never found a place to live (but were worth saving), opened up the door to a whole new world of collage designs. By creating a flat ‘compartmented' base for the bits, her mixed media collages have the look and feel of a jewelry box. She also found this technique incredibly helpful in using up what's left on the worktable at the end of the day. Her collage techniques are presented in an easy to follow, simple format to help you be successful creating collage art.

How to Make a Collage: Technique #2
"Something to Crow About: A Mixed-Media Fabric Collage"
by Diane Taylor
In this next article, Diane Taylor explores how leaving things up to chance, and how welcoming each surprise can add new dimension to your work. Diane has always been fascinated with textiles, and how certain fabrics work well together. Her mixed media collage techniques tend to be more freehand, letting an accidental crease or a piece of frayed fabric add texture and dimension to her collage art. She often begins by making paper fabric to use as a base, adding fabric rectangles on top and stitching them in place for depth. She goes on to create simple motifs on another fabric, free-motion stitching them before adding them to the background. But this is only the beginning! Follow her fascinating college techniques step by step when you download your free collage eBook today. |
