[Softcover, 208 pages] Explorations with Collage! Merging Photographs, Paper, and Fiber by Wen Redmond. 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) in this new book. Step-by-step photos and instructions for each technique are included, plus demonstration projects. Enjoy hundreds of images of Wen's artworks that show options and ideas. Her techniques can be added to mixed-media projects, fiber art, or photography. Explorations with Collage! offers you 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.
