Collage with me: This was Unexpected! Tools + Tips For Collage Art

Loved both collages. Great video.

What is little orange cutting tool called. I like your work but need some tools named. Thank you forever 💜

Thanks for this. I’m just starting out with collaging, this gave me some insight and inspiration.

Dollar Tree sells a cutting mat in the craft section that's the perfect size. Approximately 7"x9".

Acrylic Medium acts as a perfect glue and also acts as a varnish. Two for one cant go wrong.

Preciosos ❤❤

Heyyyyyy new subie from Australia… Love these two pieces are 🔥 - what the orange cutting tool?

Rubber cement is the worst. It will eventually (earlier than you think) release. It is highly toxic; I'm surprised it is still available. YES paste is NOT acid-free and archival like they claim. I had a paper conservationist test various adhesives and methyl cellulose and PVA are the best. They can be mixed 50x50% to make a good strong and reversible paste. Pva works best for magazines.
I used glue sticks in a whole sketchbook of collages and a lot of them are coming loose. Acrylic medium, matte or shiny are good also.
I've been doing collages and book arts for 40 years; so satisfying.

Both are 🔥!

Awesome content! 😊

Honestly if you use scrapes of pictures, I doubt a company would bother to attack an artist. In today’s world too many people are paranoid and into suing people. Ridiculous

Inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

your collages are amazing! Plz do more vids of collage. TYFS Cindy

Great video on intuitive collage and you have gorgeous hands!!!

Excellent tutorial .. very inspiring Thankyou

This was fun! You go girl!

😯 De toute beauté

You are so dope. I like the tuck!

I love surrreal collage and have played with it over at Lovely Day with Holly too!! I’d love it if you posted more collage videos and include more talking through the process vs sped up with music. 👏🏻👏🏻

Collaging is a great therapeutic process! But you need to know that, unless you have a license to use those photographs, or permission of the copyright holder (generally the photographer), you do not have the right to sell your images. You do not own the copyright, so making money off of someone else's artwork when you've incorporated it into your own creation is considered intellectual property theft. It's definitely not ethical. It's how the original photographers make their living, and it's not okay to take that from them. You might consider doing it with your own photos, photos you have permission or a license to use, or work that is old enough so that the copyright law no longer applies.

I really like the cut and tuck you did…will definitely remember for my next page! Good tip about photography magazines/books as well…thank you! I have subscribed so I’ll see you in the next one👋🏼

Love your process.

Love it !!! Keep them coming!

What is that cutting tool you are using?

Loved this! What kind of exacto knife is that? I love how it handles!

I really enjoyed this video gave me a lot of good ideas.

Nice! Sometimes they just fall together, but some times it's struggle. Been doing digital collage for awhile but I'm getting itchy to try my hand at (nice music btw) analogue. I don't think I have done any real cutting pasting in a long time , like maybe way back in elementary school, a little in college (in the 90's) I didn't really get it until I really started just playing, having fun with it. Then it clicked. I like the video.

They are lovely

So delighted to have found your channel! You are so talented, an inspiration. I’m new to collage, a retired musician looking for another way to channel my creative flow. Collage instantly appealed to me particularly after seeing the work of Romare Bearden. (Check out info about him and his work, it is AWESOME 😉 ) I look forward to seeing more of you videos and kudos to you!

Looks good❤😊 Don't second guess yourself.

These are awesome. Love them!

Great seeing the thinking process. I liked the smokestack incorporated with the smoking woman

It was great to see your process, thanks for sharing it.

Your collage is very phenomenal, the mix of subjects are unique

Cool!

I really like them!

Great collages.

Nice video! I subscribed!

I want to give you a heads up rubber cement isn't exactly permanent.

We used it in high school, and after many years, most projects fell apart.

Maybe seal it with something that might help.

Finding a wrinkle free glue is hard isn't it?

I find fabritac or fabrifix (stinky like nail polish) doesn't wrinkle but it can hiccup and burp

A xyron machine can turn images into stickers.

Its a shame they dont make the big one anymore.

Good luck with your glue search

Nice work! I don't know that I have a preference in which one I like better.
?Do you find the finger craft knife to be good for detailed cutting, better than a long handled exacto knife? I've seen 2 brands - Fiskars & Excel. Which brand do you use?

I love them. These are great! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber

Very nice!

Yaaaaas!
I LOVE IT! Subscribed! ❤

Thanks for sharing your process! That's where the learning takes place - for me as a beginner, at least!

These are so awesome, you are really creative, I love it! Can’t wait to see more….❤️😊

So happy to see another collager on the tube. I have not done much on video for a few years because it sort of died out but have still been doing it on my own because it is so relaxing. will be watching for your new shares.
I love how it came out!!!

I love how these turned out! So cool!

I really like the images you created... VERY COOL!!! (:
