Creative Collage for Crafters: Techniques, Projects, Inspirations - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Some crafters think there's a stone wall between craft (what they do) and art (what beatniks do). In fact, lots of art techniques are invaluable to crafters and are no more demanding than knitting a sweater or playing around with polymer clay. This is an upbeat, non-technical introduction to artistic design and composition for crafters and beginner artists. A collage is simply a composition of materials and objects attached to a surface. While that surface has traditionally been paper or canvas, there's no reason why it can't be; a lunch box; a birdhouse; a wastepaper basket; a lampshade; a storage box; 30 designer projects for gifts and for home decoration are explained and illustrated step-by-step in full colour. The materials used for the decorating include: paper; fabric; costume jewellery; magazine clippings; beads; sequins; metal objects; buttons; family snapshots; tin foil; rubber stampings; 30 creative ideas from first-rate designers plus an inspirational full colour gallery of work by well-known collage artists. Reader-freindly text for beginners cuts through the technicalities and artistic concepts.
