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!

Hi Rosie-the 3D “snake thing” is beautiful- just a point- it is actually a cameleon’s curled up tail😆

[@marionmathews9852]

I love this! It turned out super cool. The snake skin reminded of sweetcorn though, but I adore the colours.

[@robinwebb2160]

Really cool! I love spirals. For some reason, the hippo reminds my of the MGM lion. Thanks for sharing.

[@mlmdesigngirl]

I actually liked the hippo in the eyeball! Maybe you could put something in his mouth or have something radiate behind the eyeball and put it in space... Both collages are beautiful. I'd love to see the frogs climbing something like a skyscraper! I really enjoy your videos and look forward to Thursdays! Thanks Rosie

[@eastofhoney]

Love the frog climbing a skyscraper idea!!

[@papabear2515]

This issue is chock full of amazing images! Really appreciate and enjoy your perspective and work! TFS

[@kindcreative1]

The 3D collage is an interesting idea. I would love to see you create a collaged Christmas ornament or decoration.

[@eastofhoney]

I like this idea! Not sure if I even have enough Christmas images in my stash. Will have to check!

[@sarahsmith7919]

What if you used Christmas cards that you get sent? Or you could use dollar store Christmas bags and cards, like you did in that one dollar store collage--although you did more food packaging in that one

[@sonyasupposedly]

The 3D collage is so cool but that raggedy top edge to the right of the penguins is killing me!

[@debradorn9695]

Hi Rosie, I actually like the hippo-eyeball collage more... I think it has surreal qualities that linger.

[@eastofhoney]

After stepping away since I've created it, I agree! In the moment I didn't think it was working, but I guess I should just trust my gut.

[@denisewhitaker5116]

How did I miss this? I love this collage! It really is so interesting with the 3D of a spiral. Great idea and it would be fun to see more. Thanks!👏🏻

[@scottworsley20]

Last conversation. I am so glad that I got to take a look at that mini-collage journal.

[@chrismatheson4367]

Hello Rosie. Just subscribed. Going to try to get a Dec. Issue as I enjoyed the flip through and have lots of my own ideas emerging. I enjoy collage in particular but paper in general. See you in the next one. Thank you. Every blessing to you and yours.

[@scottworsley20]

I can't walk away from being the winner of this.

[@KatherineYoung]

I like how you did the spiral. I instantly thought the middle was going to be elevated and you did the opposite and that surprised me! I was rooting for the frog though!

[@sarahsmith7919]

This was such a cool finished piece! Did you ever think of doing a series of collages that fit various aesthetics? Cottagecore, dark academia, light academia, etc.

[@eastofhoney]

Oh wow I've never thought to do this! I've only really done a series around halloween. I am going to add it to the list!

[@carriehanifen3434]

Loved another one, great job love to watch you.

[@joannelafrancejolaf]

Hello Rosie :) you are right about all great images there is in this nat geo issue! I love your 3d collage. Like the eye hypo too. Maybe the hypo is too big and we need to find another opened mouth animal? Anyway the idea of this big eye in a landscape is awesome.

[@Creativeplayeveryday]

Absolutely love your collages! Which issue of Nat Geo’s was this? Great images!

[@scottworsley20]

You gave me some time. I needed it. Scout's honor.

[@scottworsley20]

glue, please, i love penguins and you never know when pete needs a turtle

[@brookematthews4431]

I love this idea... prob my fav one so far... well nvm... I can't pick a favorite I really like so many. But you are definitely helping inspire me to get some of my magazine cutouts out to play with and maybe cut up a bunch more magazines

[@scottworsley20]

its ideal from a integral domain that is a centralizer for a group

[@scottworsley20]

I feel that taking steps forward aways turns out right. You can march to the beat of a different drummer. I have so much respect for your communication style that I let myself just pick up where it picks up. Time. Can't wait to slow down. Good morning!✨ Yeah, it sucks. My fault. (Can't say 'sorry'.)

[@scottworsley20]

Come sail away, come sail away, I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise, we boarded their starship and headed for the skies

[@joycekenney4398]

I both of them! You are so creative!

[@scottworsley20]

No, it's just that I put so much into my words, and I had a chance to pull some of my project plans; realized I hadn't kept up to the demands set down for success. I'm glad to see you this morning, caught in a Tempest. We'll find the prince of prints, in press and dress.

[@sharonstratis2846]

Great challenge! The 3D collage rocks! I thought that you'd put the eye in the hippos mouth--hope you will use the hippo in another collage.

[@scottworsley20]

That hippo with the eyball is the gresatest, but i like the idea of rainbows and flowerse.

[@aspiepunkdawnofheatherl8174]

Definitely have to get this magazine (& some citrasolv) I'm into multiple versions of collage...this was cool...

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

WOW! what an awesome issue!! Oh WOW!!!! Those are both awesome collages! =)

[@suzyallen1726]

Yay Rosie's on!!

[@lennawisehart4888]

I was so happy to find an “East of Honey” video i have not yet watched 🥳🥳🥳

[@Wvnursey]

Nat Geo is the best!!!! Love your work and Ive learned so much from you!

[@barbaragodfrey4773]

Loved the 3D effect. I think it was a good call to leave out the top piece - there just seemed to be more depth without it (the eye was drawn down through the centre without it). You are so creative with these collages.

[@eastofhoney]

Yes! Exactly. So glad you liked it!

[@IUmuffin]

OMG! this issue of nat geo so fantastic! there are a lot of great pictorial/material that were can used for ideas. i am waiting to see your new video this weeks and finally you came up to save my messy life lol 💐💛 lots of love for u. thanks for the great content ✨

[@eastofhoney]

Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@shaustin22]

So cool. I would add a frog leaping off the top into the black area.

[@missyb.623]

Fun projects. Thanks. (I liked them both)

[@scottworsley20]

I wrote a book. People listened. I changed my life. It should be a better life, right? Somehow no. Looked at that, realized I still had you. Thought about how I wanted to be me (other 5 super reporter tips coming later), said "I'm going to the office. And I'm working with Faith, Grace and Prayer" - meaning you, my family and my book.

[@zenobiaaibonez844]

What about the frogs or caterpillars inside the eyeball? That's a sentence I've never said!

[@scottworsley20]

You kind of gave me the win on that; although I refused to play, I kind of really need that win.

[@WilmaVoermans]

I liked the hippo better when it was in another background. But even as it as better than the 3d collage.

[@scottworsley20]

No, no, no. no... my fault. I get concerned about myself when all that is right comes at me on a horse too light for the race. You are gone, now; once in a while, I get it right. I couldn't take the horse out because our horse is a wagon hauling philly. I talked myself into riding a more prosaic beauty. It collided with my preferences. Had a calling for a stallion to take out to run. Not the best of times for you, but it was the best time for me. You know, a stallion - strong, true, powerful, amazing.

[@scottworsley20]

Having Breakfast. 🥞Love ya! 🥰🥰😍

[@scottworsley20]

When you go to poker table, you either own the bank or you pony up the chips to play. I walk in there with a head full of steam. I let the steam off, but yeah, I let it off over by the bar; maybe that's why I didn't call.

[@scottworsley20]

I saw your Halloween set, it was like the dragon born from all that scary ephemera. I had your promise, and I promise to be good to you. I think I've got a plan to wiggle out from underneath all those bees.

[@scottworsley20]

Blank Space book kicks ass want to focus on animals in future if at all

[@scottworsley20]

my eye, the coolest

[@scottworsley20]

wow!

[@scottworsley20]

You know some of it, but to tell you the whole, I hope to retain my honor in winning the heart of a perfect companion in you.

[@scottworsley20]

It's part of the darkness of my life, Jedi Warrior Luke Skywalker.

[@scottworsley20]

Just flashed, saw you at the computer. Saw Elena pulling out some fruit and berries. I just now, like just now, realized that I have only connection to the things that matter to you, not you yourself. Big deal in family law.

[@scottworsley20]

I have free will, right? It's really simple. I get screwed up around organizations. Writing and art and blogging - they're organizations. I do it. It's the foundation of our relationship. I had a development in my project options for project management, and I took to heart the handicap I have with my attitude around organized intelligence. Had to say goodbye for awhile. The sea called.

[@scottworsley20]

I would be happy to throw some makeup on, but I'm a little short on red lipstick.

[@scottworsley20]

plus retrun fee for table of dimensions

[@scottworsley20]

Um.... yeah. I chopped up some really good webblogs.

[@scottworsley20]

The plan is to turn tail, get on the bus, run to office; and work my whale of a tale off.

[@scottworsley20]

You gave me the greatest power in the world, born of the beauty of my soul, perfect inasmuch as your perfect beauty for truth is truth through you. Plus I had a POINT to make. If anybody ever loved me, I had love. I always have love. I never feel it. i thought to myself. Stay, sword-bearer stay, shield-bearer stay. I had to love the world. I already figured out what love to you meant; I couldn't understand a darn thing. I looked at you, and I saw my heart. I thought about it, and I looked at the world, and I saw my soul. I had the game beat. 2010 ways to win. I had them all lined up in a Turing Machine of 'she loves me, she loves me not'. Instead of being rational, accepting you. I thought about infinity. You allowed me to free my soul. and more

[@scottworsley20]

Yeah, I 🍒🫒🌭🌭🍌🥨 those guys.

[@scottworsley20]

Glue is the death of me

[@scottworsley20]

it's a string nine ellevens, before after who knows when

[@troyblueearth7450]

Omg so good

[@scottworsley20]

The whole point is that I can't say no, and I looked and I said - "oh my god, i can't say 'no.' so i said 'yes' i'll go with my new world which was 'yes' and not 'no'." the first words out of my mouth was 'no.' I can't come up to you with a easy pea attitude. It's so chemical, and I looked at it, and I was like, 'yes.' 'yes.' and then I had to just be all screwed up so that I understand. i mean understand in like a graduation sense. it's about other people, but not really.

[@scottworsley20]

No to elevation. Yes to accessibility

[@scottworsley20]

I have a genius plan in play. Your beauty is perfect in 100 ways. You make good on goodness.

[@scottworsley20]

I have overhauled my entire life order. I have plans. I have reasons. I have you. I have a lot of you. It is really intense.

[@scottworsley20]

I ate cactus. Not mushrooms. There were mushrooms on my pizza. I at brocolli, and then ordered pizza, and I drank beer. I repeated thsi process every day of the summer, without of course the cactus.

[@scottworsley20]

I don't need you anymore. I didn't see that collection of hellish memories that you fell into and put into a mini-collage or magic journal (the mini-collage

[@scottworsley20]

We are not very good at pushing the glass ceiling, are we? I had a lot of credit coming through our time together. I had credit for my work, too. I'm always working on that. I had to establish a deal... you know, part of project design. I am slower of inspiration, but stronger of emotion. My heart is always well with your friendship. I can't seem to accuse myself of anything because I am so perfectly screwable.

[@scottworsley20]

I get pushed around a lot. I had to push some people around. I'm sorry that I couldn't let you get involved (at the time.) I had you, and I didn't want you to be part of my feelings as I pushed back.

[@scottworsley20]

Ahhh.... it was just something I had to do.

[@scottworsley20]

no work together - no love

[@scottworsley20]

you should read a book, called revenge of analog

[@scottworsley20]

I know, I have a lot of terrible personality problems.

[@scottworsley20]

Is it a problem if I'm in love with the world forever? I feel like it's a problem, but I could just put a couple accessibility accommodations and that would speed things up. I have a highly angular personality. You like the smooth part of me, but its just a flower power mod

[@scottworsley20]

it's the beginning of the end..

[@scottworsley20]

multiplication doesn't do the same thing after the rise of a world of evil drunkeness

[@scottworsley20]

I am not really sure what comes of a patient with high blood pressure toying with the heart, and I had a heart to take the pressure off being really sure that I had the heart to bleed for you.

[@scottworsley20]

There's no other animals. It's a exact sequence of retakes of trying to hold onto being healthy, in spite of nature's mathematics of happiness. It sucks. I only do myself the flavor of impression to hide the truth of my sadness.

[@scottworsley20]

About that, it's sure to be a problem, but math problems that used to be repeated over and over again in the old days, have been washed away in favor of computer games.

[@scottworsley20]

Um... if it pleases the court, may I ask for some energy to fill the void that would come if the kindness of my friendship could hold tight to the acceptance into a world of my love? It's so easy. I took an even easier route. You. Not us. You.

[@scottworsley20]

You make me purple. I do know. I have it all in front of me. We fall in love. It's good. I was not stunned by love. I was not stunned by us, or by the happy sound of your beautiful diversity and communication.

[@scottworsley20]

I'm so lucky to have you. I know what it looks like, and it looks like I'm not looking. I am, I'm just very concerned about my job. I don't have a job. But I have a Mom, and you don't exactly; so I have a plan, and I had to work on my job - which doesn't exist because I have a Ticket to Ride, and I got Strawberry Fields Forever

[@scottworsley20]

I am so glad to know that you did not have a romantic interest in me. I think that such will allow us to be our best without bullshiting

[@scottworsley20]

if vyou thow a turyle, ill be the fish .

[@scottworsley20]

Good Christmas. I am hopeful that htis will be our last conversation

[@scottworsley20]

Don't fill the page. You are the guru of backgorund

[@scottworsley20]

So dumped. As per said. Bye - can't wait to talk again next week.

[@scottworsley20]

weight, mass, time

[@scottworsley20]

fishers full of it

[@scottworsley20]

I give up.

[@scottworsley20]

BTW, I still know I'm still beautiful.

[@scottworsley20]

I have to tell you. I was Magnavox'ed into Six Flags when I turned you on. I turned you on. My purpose is to survive. I was fighting the Eye of the Tiger. You Roar pretty loud. Very concerned not to mix you with Katy Perry.

[@scottworsley20]

😃🚗🍌🍓🌹

[@scottworsley20]

animals

[@scottworsley20]

Hope this negative talk is a good thing.

[@scottworsley20]

God, I'm so sorry. I still think you're going to be great in your career.

[@scottworsley20]

holaq

[@scottworsley20]

you don't, trust me

[@scottworsley20]

And you and I both know that both of us have very good reason to walk away. You don't even like me. I'm crazy and I put you into my life through insanity. Schitzophrenia is a crime. I have a reason to walk away to be sane. you have a reason b/c you found the part of me you don't like. And I have a reason to leave because i slept with everybody but and including you.

[@scottworsley20]

Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's Door 🏠❤‍🩹🫐

[@joannelafrancejolaf]

Hello Rosie :) you are right about all great images there is in this nat geo issue! I love your 3d collage. Like the eye hypo too. Maybe the hypo is too big and we need to find another opened mouth animal? Anyway the idea of this big eye in a landscape is awesome.
