Denatured books.

Though I am loathe to destroy a book, that is what this project will require. So find books that don't mean anything to you. Denatured books are a lot of fun to make, and this project sheet is mainly to give you some ideas since there is really no right or wrong way to go about. The idea is to take a book and make it into something else. This is reminiscent of my grandmother's era, where blank journals and books weren't as plentiful as they are now. People would often past clippings and photos in a book they no longer wanted to read, changing the book into something very personal.

Collage techniques.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger      0 comments      link this post     


The word "collage" brings a lot of things to mind. Some people might see it as random gluing, a task only done by children in grade school. I frequently use collage in my multi-media paintings and have a number of techniques that use affordable materials but still allow for sturdy, workable and flexible results that integrate well with traditional fine art practices. There's no Mod Podge, for example. Trust me.
