Collage with me! Surreal collage artist | Cut and paste #32

Hi there! I'm Rosie, and welcome to my channel where I make surreal analog collages from thrifted used books and magazines! This week I wasn't exactly sure what we were going to make, so I started by flipping through some of my materials to find some inspiration! I landed on finding some octopuses and a family on a picnic and I was able to create some really silly collages.

Creating a handmade custom DIY surreal art collage is easy! I share my tips and techniques on how I create my analog collages as I cut out pictures and illustrations out by hand with a small pair of scissors and a craft knife. Finding inspiration from old books is one of the most fun steps to this process. These can come from used books, encyclopedias, magazines, vintage postcards, or anything else you can find lying around your house. I find most of my books and magazines from thrift stores, antique stores, flea markets, Craigslist, or even on the side of the road! Watch as I arrange my elements and try different ideas as I talk through my process to create my final design.
Collages made out of paper have a custom made feel that you can't get from a digital collage made in Photoshop. And, there is an added challenge of only being able to use materials that you have access to!
Want to try creating your own? Just grab a magazine, scissors, and a glue stick!

I love ❤the octopus behind the window! You have given me a whole new concept to junk journaling. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 TFS 🥰

[@reginaread8786]

I just found you. (Not that you were missing). I am already becoming a fan. I love surrealism and collage. Once again I'm kicking myself for helping my mother clear out my fathers treasure trove of magazines that he'd collected for years.

[@PatWalker-mq7ir]

The family in the salad bowl is GREAT!!

[@reginakeller3038]

Your easy going, open attitude to new concepts is refreshing and so enjoyable. After watching your videos, I'm saving a more eclectic variety of magazine pictures to experiment with. Such fun! Thanks for sharing your ideas and techniques❣

[@eastofhoney]

Oh thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you find them helpful and inspiring. Happy collaging!

[@user-pc6mz7ne5t]

I love Rosie and her open, creativity, and her giggle. I have not found new ones. Has she stopped videos?

[@user-pc6mz7ne5t]

@@eastofhoney Rosie. I cannot find any 2023 videos of you. I SO enjoy all I have watched. Learnt so much, and love your presence. Just seems like I seen all. What have I lost? Where, how?

[@MoonSpinners]

“Hide the mum under the lettuce” isn’t a sentence I thought I was going to hear today! 😂😂 I LOVE this, it’s inspired me so much. 🤗🇬🇧

[@carissapaglino4591]

I love this style of collage!

[@daniellesbricks784]

Omg I’ve been doing this art on and off for years and I cannot believe your channel just randomly popped up! You are awesome, I love your work! I wish I had cool friends like us 😂😂😂

[@bananashaveice]

These two pieces belong in a gallery! They're so good!

[@carriehanifen3434]

Another great video, thanks for the inspiration, can’t wait till the next one. 💗😀👍

[@eastofhoney]

Yay! I'm so glad to hear you find them inspiring :)

[@OgataTetsuo]

Thank you for sharing your collages. You're an inspiration!!!

[@Jynxsphynx2869]

[@callycat6660]

Love the octopus and window one ..just amazing !!

[@bettelovelace4456]

Love your collage work… very cool.. I’m sticking around to learn💜

[@morningdewgarden7432]

Ahh yesss! I like the way you think!!

[@minnahumble2294]

I love the way you started the demonstration right away. So many KZbin producers start with five minutes or more of yakking. That is such a waste of time. Do it, don’t talk about it.

[@Artlostudio]

I love it ! Thank you for sharing! I am sooo excited to start making these collages!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@robertpaulinetuttle4588]

They are BOTH fabulous!

[@troikatuggle1343]

Your work is brilliant so imaginative. Imagine the family having their picnic in a salad bowl! Doesn't bother me that adult stick up. The whole compilation is compelling and perfect. The living room likewise is beautiful and compelling. So glad I discovered ur channel

[@deborahneumann9162]

Great imagination! REALLY love the Octopus! The family in the salad bowl just opened up a whole new way for me to 'travel' now. I've been wanting to use FOOD more in collaging, so this will work! Thank you SO much for your inspiration! (:

[@eastofhoney]

Yes! Food as always been a little scary for me, but I would love to use it more often! I need some more food books hahah

[@MaryGadsby]

You are so creative I have the biggest smile on my face watching this!

[@rosarieramon1081]

Omg...just magic...love it...awesomely well done🐙

[@janmurphy9347]

This was so fun to watch you put together. Collecting collage supplies at the moment. Watching these has been a big help for me going forward!

[@eastofhoney]

Yay! So glad to hear that :) Happy collaging!

[@sherryallison5258]

Rosie, I just luv how your mind works! These were tres manifique!

[@eastofhoney]

[@chriswhite8982]

[@Tobazhniazhi]

Love those eureka moments when something suddenly unexpected happens, its a feeling I chase after! :-)

[@beverlyshaffer58]

This is so cool!!

[@scottworsley20]

I'm not going to fault on discrepencies in how you make your own defection; breaking chemicals down is how science is made. and you are giving me happy vibes. I love you, apart from the sea and apart from the trees. I love you like an angel loves heart!

[@sasasasasasasasasa]

That's so much fun! awesome

[@collegefraud1308]

[@litenlaura]

I reeeeally like your style. Your videos are calm and inspiring. Enjoy watching your process and happy to understand what you say (I'm german). So happy that I found your channel :) Btw I'm interested how you organize your backgrounds and cutouts. Maybe there is a chance for a special video like the one where you talk about your books and magazines :)

[@eastofhoney]

Oh thank you so so much! I'm so glad to hear that. I will make a video on that--as soon as I figure out which systems I like the best!

[@cloverrabbit5622]

This is the first time I have come across your videos. I love your enthusiasm about collage. I do alittle collage with the dylusions products but struggle using images from magazines. I think I think about it too much! haha Look forward to watching more of your videos. (Vickie from Nova Scotia) 🙂

[@csk5654]

Love these!

[@MariArtJourney]

Ahahah so funny pages...I love a pick nick in a salad bowl...amazing 😊

[@craftycat7212]

I especially love the octopus

[@priskateijo]

Your style and skill blow my mind 👏👏👏

[@CMason-yr9ks]

Really cool!💙💛💜

[@scottworsley20]

Been waiting to see the starlight... found myself alone on the range, fought the angels of insanity (well known fact about baseball!), and heard the word from a brother, a brother from another, like "sure, why not?"

[@WilmaVoermans]

LOVE the familly in the salad bowl, I did not think you can make it work, but you did so good. The Octopus you choose is a little cartoony, and the reflection in the table did not work like this. But you cant make every collage be a masterpiece(althought most of yours are so good) . So happy I found your channel, love to watch every video you make!

[@pamelaschaefer1229]

You are amazing!

[@marionmathews9852]

You are such fun to watch and you create quirky images with aplomb.

[@ramonalee1]

Awesome!

[@shirleymcdonald7008]

I LOVE both of these! Idea: It looks like the octopus is looking at someone/something.... Maybe put a cat or dog on the sofa, looking up at the octopus.

[@kellyanndyer730]

Incredible

[@createwithbarbbl4125]

I love your ideas, so much fun. I'm a new subscriber as I just found your channel. I want to thank you for showing your face and not waggling your fingers around as though they can talk.😏

[@joseecousineau9005]

Wow!

[@minnahumble2294]

Great collages.

[@soniacook4884]

Hi I’m new to your channel!!! Love your style your artwork is amazing ❤

[@analuciahenrique9748]

I love it. Greetings from Brazil. ❤

[@scottworsley20]

At octopus o'clock, Hi Five in the middle of the sea, that's when I'll be.

[@rosethorne9076]

These are great. So funny and quirky. I think I would use a spray adhesive for the windows. 😁

[@eastofhoney]

Oh that is a good idea! Spray adhesive would have worked really well

[@scottworsley20]

I feel like turning the bowl upside down 😇; maybe that's where city life got its framework, like if we see and interact with environment, that is separate from our Elvish heritage 🤠, vertically - I get mindless in the Vegas-style luxury setting. 🤯

[@annabelleklein]

Love your videos :)

[@darlalove]

I really love your videos ❤️

[@eastofhoney]

Thank you! :)

[@cutestephmichi]

I would love to find magazines and books like those

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

those're great

[@MathMadeSimple777]

Pretty cool. I love doing collage art it’s my favorite right now. I’ve made some really cool ones while I was manic (I’m bipolar) but I threw them away shortyl afterwards 😔. Nevertheless, keep doing what you do. This is inspiring!

[@ceessimplesecrets]

I really enjoyed this video! I really enjoy making collages too! Curious what you do with them once you’re finished.

[@scottworsley20]

I couldn't resist playiing my mega super star shark, el octopus!

[@Abby-kp7yg]

Your videos are the closest thing to what I'm looking for but I wish it was just music and subtitles😓 a lot of ppl don't like to listen to people talk. Ur art is rly cool

[@scottworsley20]

Up, down, all around. I found a map that can't be found. So, north is toward the woods, and north is also toward the map's location we call the contiguous 48 of USA. I say, glistening eastern sea, but it's west to me, LA, took me for a look, that east would be a trip to bring the south back from the cliff.

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

New to your channel. Enjoyed the video very much! Fun art!

[@eastofhoney]

Yay! Welcome! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it :)

[@cinconinos490]

I just subscribed to your channel. Who are you a and where have you been all my life. 😂. I loved your video. Lol👍 family in a salad bowl?! What?!

[@malaranu6883]

Great ideas. May need to use sea reflection on the table to tie in a little more. Love that you collect images.

[@JacquouilleLaFripouille]

Hey cool! Those rocks, hope well rocks are in my province, NB, 🇨🇦 Canada.
