Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This book is so full of pictures that it seems as if there is hardly any text. However, the instruction is creatively inserted so that it almost appears to be photo captions. The tone is informative, helpful, and friendly, with a playfulness that finds inspiration in experimentation. The focus is on creativity rather than skill level, with an abundance of options, ideas, suggestions, and tips. Every page has multiple full-color pictures, showcasing different designs, colors, and options, concentrating on finished products. Projects are mostly fast and inexpensive, many using household items in creative ways—such as leaves, instant tea, salts, string, even cut-up flip-flops for stamping tools. The range in types of paper and materials is as inspiring as the finished products. Each chapter ends with a paper craft. Guhin’s other books include Glorious Glue: Art with Adhesives (1995) and Image Art Workshop (2009), and she is coauthor of The Complete Photo Guide to Creative Painting (2010)as well as a blog (http://mixedmediamanic.blogspot.com). This book has more than enough to keep crafters of all ages busy. --Lani Smith --This text refers to the paperback edition.

I grew up in a small Midwestern town, ideal for building solid foundations. I am a visual arts educator, artist, writer, photographer, and the author of Image Art Workshop, published by Creative Publishing international, Glorious Glue, Art with Adhesives, published by J. W. Walch, Can We Eat the Art? (Incentive Publications), and Creating Decorative Papers (Stackpole). I also co-authored the Complete Photo Guide to Creative Painting (CPi). I also wrote The King of Corn, a biography published by Prairie Home Press. Booklist selected one of my books as a Top 10 for 2012! Stackpole also published the co-authored Painting with Mixed Media.

My articles have appeared in Arts & Activities, the nation's leading art education magazine where I'm a Contributing Editor, as well as in School Arts, Instructor, Teaching Today, and many more periodicals.

I present and facilitate visual arts workshops, too! I live on a horse farm(with a mini donkey too) with my husband, two charming dogs, and two beloved old cats.

I have a Twitter account, a photo blog on Tumblr, and I'm on FaceBook and Flickr. Please see my assemblage art and mixed media painting boards on Pinterest under guhinp, and don't miss my funny Retro Vintage Humor board! Finally, check out MixedMediaManic on Blogger.com.

Topnotch book on the subject

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

I checked this out of the library and realized I didn't want to take it back, so I bought it on Amazon. I think it is an excellent book of techniques for using paper in mixed media art - or altered books or journals. Well thought out, well illustrated, clear instructions, good photos. I would put it right in the top group of books on this subject. There are a few other very good books, and you may want them all - I seem to have them all myself! - but if you just want one, you can't do much better than this one.

Creative Fun!

I bought this book as I was teaching a Community Education class called "Collage Revisited", in which our goals were to create altered papers to use in collage. The ideas and techniques in this book added such a wealth of information for our class, and now that the class is over, I continue to read through it and learn all sorts of fun new ways of working with papers. A great resource for artists, teachers, hobbyists, kids, adults!

I'm a collage artist who primarily uses papers of my own design. This book is a primary resource for me. It's a rich source of information as well as inspiration. It offers such a variety of ideas for decorating papers it could keep you busy for weeks. I keep it in my studio for reference and wholeheartedly recommend it to others.

LOTS OF TIPS

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

I found this book very helpful in creating collage papers for future use. It's quite amazing how you can take ordinary copy paper and make it into something special -- and it's exclusively yours, not like something you would buy.

I just bought this book and I LOVE it!!! I can't wait to get started on the techniques. The author writes in a clear and effective style. The materials will be easy to find and now I can use (my) paper in my collages and not have to worry about copyright issues. YAY!
