Explorations with Collage! by Wen Redmond

42 digital collage techniques taught by renowned artist Wen Redmond, for makers to incorporate into (and enrich) their mixed-media work A digital collage technique layers together virtual images into a new piece of art, ready for mixed-media and collage makers to use as an eye-opening element. Artist and teacher Wen Redmond shows readers how to do this by sharing 42 of her main techniques (and many variations) here. Redmond makes incorporating digital techniques nonintimidating and exciting, thanks to her engaging mantra of "The only limit is your imagination!". These techniques can be added to mixed-media projects, fiber art, or photography. Highlights of this book include:  • Step-by-step photos and instructions for each technique, plus demonstration projects • Hundreds of images of Wen's artworks show options and ideas • One-of-a-kind, innovative methods. For example, creatively converting black-and-white images, making borders using sneaky merging, applying words in ways ranging from stitched to easy silkscreen, creating medium lifts, embedding papers, and experimenting with more than a dozen types of transfer methods.  • A new realization to many makers: combining color, text, and imagery in digital ways helps communicate feelings, memories, or an appreciation of our natural world Praise for Explorations with Collage!... “Generously shares digital imaging techniques, demystifies alternative ways to layer and blend images, and explores the expressive potential of textured or printed paper and fabric substrates...encourages play and personal discovery in the creation of mixed media collages.” —Susan Brandeis, artist, educator, and author, The Intentional Thread and The Cumulative Cloth
