Book Description

March 1, 2008
Inspiring collection for artists interested in collage

Mother and daughter artists Maryjo and Sunny Koch have compiled an inspiring portfolio of their collage-works in this new volume for artists and hobbyists entitled Vintage Collage-Works: Artful Ideas with Antique Ephemera. Employing basic collage techniques, these artists have created a wide range of distinctive collage projects using antique documents, vintage boxes and glassware, handmade papers, and ephemera of all kinds.

Both women are noted artists and teachers who bring their unique sensibilities to these easy yet sophisticated projects. In their new book, they show how ordinary vintage collectibles such as postcards, letters, prints, and photographs, can be transformed into stunning works of art by following just a few step-by-step techniques. By combining this vintage ephemera with readily available clip art, special papers, objects from nature, and sewing notions (such as buttons and ribbons), they create dozens of finished collage projects that can then by framed or used to make unique note cards, gift tags, or journals to share with family and friends.

This is an inspirational how-to book for any artist or hobbyist interested in collage, no matter what their level of expertise in the medium.

5.0 out of 5 stars A secret stash of eye candy, June 13, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vintage Collage-Works: Artful Ideas with Antique Ephemera (Paperback)
I bought the book based on the title and the cover and how lucky to hit the jackpot. This book is brimming with inspiration! Offers step-by-steps for the less experienced artist but the step outs aren't so overbearing that a more seasoned artist can't take the projects and explode in a frenzy of creativity. Several pages of clip art in the back for scanning and using - a great addition for those who are just beginning their ephemera collections.

I would say this book, quite aptly, caters to every level of collage or mixed media artist who loves working with ephemera. Love this book! One of my favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Easy Techniques, November 19, 2008
This review is from: Vintage Collage-Works: Artful Ideas with Antique Ephemera (Paperback)
Vintage Collage-Works is really simple to understand as the techniques are designed to help beginners create beautiful works of art instantly. It's definitely a book I would recommend to anyone interested in learning about collage art, but may be intimated by the process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Collage Works, December 2, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vintage Collage-Works: Artful Ideas with Antique Ephemera (Paperback)

This is a great book for people who are interested in making collages using antique ephemera, postcards, etc. It has many ideas for using these materials. I was an antique dealer and have a lot of this paper ephemera and old photographs which I kept when I quit my business. However, you can obtain these items at auctions, antique malls, on ebay, or look in your Grandparent's attic. Norma Meier
