eQuilter Explorations With Collage!

by Wen Redmond

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 how by sharing 42 of her main techniques (and many variations) here. This book makes incorporating digital techniques non-intimidating and exciting, thanks to Wen's engaging mantra of "The only limit is your imagination!" There are step-by-step photos and instructions for each technique, plus demonstration projects, hundreds of images of Wen's artworks show options and ideas. The techniques can be added to mixed-media projects, fiber art, or photography. It features 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. It offers a realization new to many makers: combining color, text, and imagery in digital ways helps communicate feelings, memories, or an appreciation of our natural world.
