Playing with Collage

Over the course of a 40-year career, Jeannie Baker has perfected the art of collage. Her stunning pieces are devised by assembling all sorts of different textures. Whether it's dried flowers or tiny shells, spaghetti or postage stamps, she uses the world around her to make work that is astonishingly beautiful and deeply creative. In Playing with Collage, she shares her secrets at last and encourages her readers to get creative. Within each of this book's four main sections, Jeannie presents an abstract collage of her own and offers suggestions and starting points for beginners. There are no right or wrong answers in this treasure of a book, it's all about trusting your instincts ... and playing!
