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.

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.

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

I love this book! I am an admitted fan of Maryjo Koch's work since discovering her feather art on some wrapping paper. Unlike many other books on collage I own, every image in this book appeals to me. Her "technique" instructions are helpful and there is a great section of clip art images to cut out or scan in the back of the book. I also like her ideas for easy, tiny projects like collaging matchbook boxes.

Wow- what a beautifully photographed book with some exciting and interesting ideas for collages and uses of found objects. I am not very good at assembling intertesting combinations so this will really help with compostions and sources for ideas.

I was somewhat disappointed with this book. It is a nice take on mixed media collage with tips on painting, but not as new or innovative as I had hoped.

This book is a beautiful journey into the world of vintage images and ephemera with some very creative project ideas! I really enjoyed it!
