Collage has never been so fashionable! In Collage Couture you'll learn how to sketch fashion figures, create stylish dresses from patterned paper and apply a variety of textured backgrounds to your collage pieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW What a great book! May 18, 2011
By Pug Lover
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is my new fav in my art book collection. The collages are beautiful and very inspiring. There are detailed instruction on how to draw your own girls, the proportions to use and ideas on how to create your own style. Also, she writes in a very non-intimidating fashion. The ideas for the backgrounds are simple, creative and stunning. There are tons of ideas for clothes to design, too.

The book itself is gorgeous - every page is eye candy. I can't hardly put it down! I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to make some gorgeous artwork.

I had this book on my wish list for months...and ordered it as soon as it was available here...this book did not disappoint! Doll dresses, paper dolls, and fashion illustrating are my three favorite subjects...this fit the bill perfectly...full of fresh, fun, beautiful ideas! Definitely stands apart from many other mixed media art books currently available...and this is definitely my favorite book right now! Was well worth the wait!
