Book Reviews of Collage Unleashed
Book Review: My first collage book and alot of fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This book got me into art journaling and collage. The techniques at the beginning of the book were easy to experiment with and cheap to invest in. I love the play of color and the idea of leveraging my work with scanning, photocopies and manipulating my digital copies in computer programs. The paper towel dye technique is well explained with many options for staining papers with the dyed towels and collaging the towels onto paper backgrounds. This versatile technique and its possibilities are so well explained and so inexpensive that I was a bit disappointed to discover the variety of materials and cost of tools needed for the rosin paper/ gesso technique and crayon technique. I did not know what rosin paper was or what a "creamy" crayon was or how to find the two irons needed for the crayon cupcakes. Some brand names would have helped there. I also did not see enough of the doodling and writing techniques as I would have liked. As for the finalized projects, I felt that dropping the "big sack" in favor of more thorough instructions on the latch hooked book cover would have been preferable. Overall though, I loved the book and am a Traci devotee. I now own her dvd and have taken a class in person with her. Many other reviewers have said that "younger" people would be attracted to the book but I think it is just a beginner's guide for those who have dabbled in scrapbooking, card making or general crafting. It was for me.
