Cut up this Book and Create Your Own Extraordinary Places: A Maria Rivans Collage Book

A brand-new collection of delightfully nostalgic and surreal images that will inspire any collage artist

The fifth title of the successful Cut Up This Book series celebrates exotic and extraordinary locations, including strange scenes ranging from the depths of the ocean to the craters of the moon. These settings are the perfect inspiration for some dramatic and hilarious juxtapositions.

The book features helpful step-by-step tutorials to demonstrate collaging techniques, and seven fabulous backgrounds on heavier paper. On the lighter paper are over 800 images to cut out and stick as you please. Place your astronaut on a beach, or your picnickers on the ocean floor. Once again, Maria Rivans has triumphed with a glorious book to inspire her many collaging fans.
