5.0 out of 5 stars Great source of background techniques!, September 20, 2005
This review is from: Collage Discovery Workshop - Beyond the Unexpected: New Techniques Using Color, Personal Imagery and Creative Surfaces (Paperback)
Stuck staring at a blank page? If you're looking for a jump-start for your ATCs, collage, or altered book, Claudine's two books are terrific resources. I personally use several of her techniques in my mixed media collage and ATCs. Sometimes it's just a great way to "warm up" my muse when I'm starting a session of art making. Claudine also writes for Cloth, Paper, Scissors and you'll see her pieces in many other books. She has a distinctive style. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars definitely beyond my expectations, August 12, 2005
This review is from: Collage Discovery Workshop - Beyond the Unexpected: New Techniques Using Color, Personal Imagery and Creative Surfaces (Paperback)
I loved Claudine Hellmuth's first book so I pre-ordered this one, even tho I'm not that crazy about her Poppets. And I was not disapointed. Techniques, techniques, techniques. The one on monoprinting from xerox copies alone was worth the price.

I love how she explains what she did while encouraging the reader to experiment and not duplicate her work. She even includes a little how-to on finding your own style which will be beneficial to so many. This way we can learn from her yet each have our own unique style.

Both her books are great and I learned a lot from them even tho I've been doing mixed-media collage for quite awhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Media Love!, August 10, 2005
This review is from: Collage Discovery Workshop - Beyond the Unexpected: New Techniques Using Color, Personal Imagery and Creative Surfaces (Paperback)
Beyond the Unexpected avoids the usual pitfalls of craft books. Instead of showing a project and how to recreate it inch for inch - Claudine Hellmuth shows us the techniques and how to combine these in your own unique mixed media collages. I'm excited to try her home printing techniques and love the contact paper technique! A very well put together book with great advice!
