Explorations with Collage!

A digital collage technique layers together virtual images into a new piece of art, ready for mixed-media and collage makers to use as an eye-opening element. Artist and teacher Wen Redmond shows how by sharing 42 of her main techniques (and many variations) here. • Makes incorporating digital techniques nonintimidating and exciting, thanks to Wen's engaging mantra of "The only limit is your imagination!" • Step-by-step photos and instructions for each technique, plus demonstration projects • Hundreds of images of Wen's artworks show options and ideas. • The techniques can be added to mixed-media projects, fiber art, or photography. • One-of-a-kind, innovative methods; for example, creatively converting black-and-white images, making borders using sneaky merging, applying words in ways ranging from stitched to easy silkscreen, creating medium lifts, embedding papers, and experimenting with more than a dozen types of transfer methods. 208 pp | 648 color images
