Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This is an excellent resource for anyone wanting an introduction or to learn more about the art of paper collage. Ackerman, an artist for more than 20 years, begins with the basics: the different types of paper, tools, and adhesives that are needed; materials that embellish paper; and how to decorate plain paper for use in a collage. The author also explains the basic techniques of making collages and gives many hints for materials that are more difficult to work with and common problems found in paper collage. More than 15 projects are offered, and photographs of Ackerman's many collages will inspire ideas. The projects are divided between landscapes and abstract images that use many different types of paper, materials, and colors. The step-by-step illustrations, the author's clear and easy-to-follow instructions, and the numerous project ideas offered make this an excellent resource. Michelle Kaske

Product Description

You’ve been a collage-maker ever since you were a kid. It’s much more fun to create adult illusions and moods—still using the collage basics of paper, string, wire, and glue. A dozen simple projects show you the techniques for making your own versions of Snow on the Mountain, The Falls at Yosemite, The Four Seasons, In the Canyon, Tribal Music, and other magic landscapes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to try it!, November 16, 2002
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handmade Paper Collage (Hardcover)
I found this book inspirational (her pictured collages are beautiful) and helpful, even for a rank beginner like me. Her instructions are clear and step-by-step, and it seems like a process simple enough to do, although time-consuming enough that I'll have to block out an afternoon to get started. She gives lots of ideas for embellishments for your collage, and I like it that most of them are easily available. I gave it five stars because I don't find any glaring omissions or problems.If you're looking for a craft that emphasizes color and texture, and simple enjoyment, this sure looks to be one to try.
