About this title

Synopsis

Describes how to use recycled papers to make handmade paper, using the colors in the original materials instead of dyes, and depicts collages that combine these papers with other found objects

Reviews

Fiber artist Stevenson provides excellent tools for learning both papermaking and collage. She covers absolutely every element of papermaking and then uses varied (and unexpected) materials to create unique collages. Collage is a friendly and forgiving art form perfect for beginners, children, designers, quilters, and anyone seeking a creative outlet. To create texture, color, and layers, collage is broadened to include paper sculpture, dried flowers, fabric, thread, puzzle pieces, greeting cards, wrapping paper, stamps, and other common materials. Colorful kaleidoscopic collage is a special bonus. Presented with very detailed instructions, these projects are the ultimate in recycling. Iva Freeman
