Hi there! I'm Rosie and today we're attempting to make two collages from one image! One collage from the subject and one from the background. I'd love to see what you make if you try this--send me a picture on Instagram!

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!

This is amazing! To me, if they were displayed together it would be pretty cool. The possible implication would be that the river is what the artist is visualing/feeling while he is working; while the b/w room is his reality & how he is a vessel of creativity/hope/beauty ready to be shared with us.

[@papabear2515]

You took a creative prompt idea and did a super job with it! Both collages really stand on their even though they share similar parts. Thanks! Kathleen

[@brookematthews4431]

These are absolutely amazing! I discovered your channel today and have binge watched several of your videos and plan to eventually watch them all. Thank you so much for sharing with us. You have given me so much inspiration. Xoxo

[@valmitra]

Love deeply your work!!❤

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Very, very nice. You showed lots of ingenuity in the river scene, tucking things in to ground them and replacing the sky. Neat weather book and “thanks” to grandma for the marble paper. One thing, would you wanted to use a pencil like Stabilo to add shading to objects. The paint tubes in the other picture look like they’re floating. Not that floating is a bad thing. 😉

[@suzyallen1726]

I commented on this but didnt remember and I'm sure I would have. Must have been interrupted because I love these so much. My fav is river of paint. You are so creative. Love the way you walk us through your thought processes.

[@ramonalee1]

One of my favorites! You’re just a natural.

[@momzillainnova]

Wow, this is truly an inspirational video! What a lovely "set" this would be to create as a gift as well!!

[@yourfavoritememory4223]

The tucking in part is always so satisfying!^^

[@marionmathews9852]

What a superb prompt for you. They turned out so great and I love the results.

[@eastofhoney]

Such a great prompt!

[@scottworsley20]

I am learning so much about mindfulness from animal images 🎨

[@lvan4407]

I really like what you did with both pictures pictures that’s amazing how do you put everything together ❤

[@marilyngillis8305]

I just discovered your videos and am glad I have. I like everything about them. Your voice is so easy on the ears and I appreciate your language style - friendly and direct about what you are doing without extraneous chat which I hate. For the past ten years I have mainly made art collages from all my painted papers, mark making and other surface design processes. Watching your videos has inspired me to go back to making some magazine collages. You have reminded me of some techniques that were pushed to the back of my mind. You should write a book. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Do you have a video about techniques, especially tips on cutting and gluing.

[@scottworsley20]

You did so many backgrounds. And i am an industrial enthusiast

[@lindajames960]

Yea! It’s Thursday!

[@hermienbosman2898]

Such an excellent choice of the artist the river and the marbled paper. Loved it! Really enjoyed this one. Great idea from Tink 😁

[@eastofhoney]

Yeah! The marbled paper was so fun to work with. I will have to use it again sometime!

[@scottworsley20]

JUST REVERSE THE RIVER DREAM OF CUT TREES. SO SKY IS A DREAM

[@kimverhoef7238]

I really enjoy watching you create, thank you so much for your inspiration! I know this is a year later that I watch this process, but I was thinking that maybe the paintbrush needs to be behind the colorful hand to make it look more cohesive? Since I learned from your videos to nestle images together it works so well!

[@janefrazier9228]

You have such an amazing imagination!

[@mamapajama1273]

Rosie, such a joy to see your video of collage creations! You’ve awakened a collage monster in me that I didn’t know was there!! 🎉🎉🎉Thanks!!

[@eastofhoney]

I LOVE THIS! Collage monsters UNITE

[@odrade99]

Interesting. Great result.

[@ChristineScott-s6h]

Love this concept! You did an awesome job?

[@wendywalker627]

What a cool idea... going to try it

[@joejoymcclintock4485]

Two of my favorite collages of yours! Love how you tied them together!

[@eastofhoney]

Thank you so much!! I wasn't sure I was going to end up tying them together, but I'm so glad I did!

[@joejoymcclintock4485]

@@eastofhoney great job!

[@littletennessee5675]

Great suggestion Tinkpatience! Superb execution of the idea by Rosie!!

[@susanwhite1450]

What a great idea and you really nailed it with these two amazing collages!

[@janetalford1570]

Great job Rosie! I love them.

[@scottworsley20]

[@sherrilfulkerson4260]

Loved this!!

[@vetechgrl2000]

So very creative! These are both so beautiful!!!

[@sandyhairston3943]

It would've been great to show that paint bucket pouring that paint in the river, enjoy ure videos

[@girlyjean2558]

I love your "Elon Musk" collages. I look forward to Thursdays!

[@scottworsley20]

That's Steve!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Great suggestion. 🙂👍 Love your collages. 👍

😃 I saw lori Costa Rica lady do positive and negative space.

[@lovelydaywithholly]

Love it!!!!

[@judyhyland682]

Love your videos!

[@inkwinks3514]

I would build on this idea, using the subject in a collage on my art journal page opposite a collage containing the background on the page facing the subject collage. [I hope I explained that clearly]

[@nancylongacre5507]

Brilliant ✨💖✨

23 pillars of truth to soceity protected into industry as 31 days a month. 21 hours a day, some one some where is using technology

[@scottworsley20]

Pillars and Heroes.

[@scottworsley20]

ATLAS was a titan, the son of Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene. Atlas was thought by the ancient Greeks to hold up the sky, and his name means “he who carries”. His famous encounter was with the Greek hero Hercules, one of whose labours was to obtain the golden apples of the HESPERIDES, female guardians of the fruit the mother earth, Gaia, presented Hera at her marriage to Zeus.

That really inspires me to jump rope.

[@rachellee.9389]

Awesome collages, as usual - thanks for the idea, Tink. Since you asked, how about trying an 'embellished' collage a la Tara Jacobsen and others (kzbin.info). Personally, I think it's cheating a bit but hey, a little harmless cheating might be fun every once in a while.

[@eastofhoney]

Thanks for the idea!! I will check it out :)

[@suzyallen1726]

I love tara Jacobsen I actually told her about rosie

[@scottworsley20]

Love it... 👉

in the civilized world, food is the language of science. what could be better than a math locksmith turning 23 truths turned indo 27 modern industrial truths, including China? How about 32 things that happen on computing with 2 raised to the 5th. then know 69 is the last chance for space travel.
