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!

You are a natural - just the way your mind is always 'on' - open to every juxtaposition that will delight you and us, the more incongruous the better. I am totally inspired. Thank you, generous one!

[@robynefraize909]

I am SO inspired by your work! Extremely fun and surprising. For some of your earlier works where the paper is wavy... I have found that if you turn it over on an ironing board, spritz it with water and iron it, presto-chango, the waves disappear.

[@zeam-h3133]

Those buttercup dinosaurs are SOOOO CUTE

[@katinkotkatinkot3484]

Wow! all your collages deserve an exhibition! your work teaches how to use collage to develop fantasy and imagination and find new meanings in the familiar! I subscribe to your channel with pleasure and gratitude ❤️

[@catherinewinsor7991]

Real easy to tell you which collage is my favorite....I LOVE CATS...so hands down, the cat collage wins my vote.

[@sherylpond7698]

Maybe a show with you going over the collages you’re not completely happy with and changing them up?

[@yoli_1_n_Only]

I am a serious collager and I just discovered you the other day and I just want to say thank you so much for inspiring me!

[@nostalgicinmybones]

it’s amazing you’ve only been doing this for a year! i only started this week but i’m already in love with it tbh. your videos are so inspiring! :D

[@CeruleanFae]

Are you still at it!?

[@nostalgicinmybones]

@@CeruleanFae yes! not super often but i actually just made one yesterday so it’s wild you asked

[@mariangreaves1961]

just in case nobody else said: the animal on the tractor is a chinchilla! your collages are so fun and inspiring!

[@matdrawsreads]

You are very creative and I just discovered your channel . Incredibly imaginative and just loved looking at your art. 👏

[@debbiec2663]

Those are fantastic. I love your adventurous, creative spirit.

[@deborahneumann9162]

I don't know how I missed this video from 2 years ago, but WOW! I love your style... it is SO FUN! These are WONDERFUL!! 🙂

[@orchiddeerdalomba2434]

That was a lot of fun!!!! I cannot pick a favorite. They are all wonderful! ❤

[@dhowell9000]

I know this is from a year ago, but I just found you!! I have been fussy cutting images for YEARS and I’ve made a few collages, but I really need to use the stash I have!! I was watching this and I thought that I would start again but this time Digital too!! I decided that it would be easier as I can make choices and still have the originals to make something else with too!! Too cool!! And your work was extremely inspirational!!!

[@cazkiwinz4300]

I’m both fearful and fascinated by your mind and art 😂😂😂 🤘🥰🤘

[@karenharvey2549]

I love watching you collage. I enjoy your enthusis.

[@kimdiefendorf2070]

Wow, I love these. This popped up randomly but love the idea of getting books at Goodwill/thrifting.

[@quin073179]

You are so good, definitely one of my favorite surrealists.

[@Ssutube1]

Love your collages. I am just beginning and I have learned a lot from you. Love your sense of humor and the art that comes from it. Can't wait to get started.

[@eastofhoney]

Thank you so much! That makes me so very happy to hear. Happy collaging :)

[@elciellioliveiradesouza2248]

Whoa, so many inspiration! I loved all your collages, kisses from Brazil!

[@pnkrabbts]

Lol the angry banana cracks me up 🤣😂

[@dbibes]

Hello from France ! I love your collages, your style, it's Amazing. Thanks !

[@mariadefatimasantoscordeir5681]

I liked very much the collage with the greenhouse and the lady dragging the trunk filled with flowers. It is very minimalistic.

[@catherinewinsor7991]

The cat collage is SO AWESOME!! I have a whole book full of cats (cat lover here) stickers, clippings, stamps, anything and everything cats.

[@Mariana-ym6zf]

AMAZING!!!! I love it! So glad I came across this video.

[@megancampbell3914]

Very impressive! I appreciate that you don’t harvest a whole lot in advance but instead find a focal idea and then build your collage.

[@berniceseigel6482]

Your personality and imagination just pour out of your work. I really enjoy your creativity.

[@christinecrow1410]

They are gorgeous. You really do a great job. Thank you

[@lisabromley8924]

I love the earth planet with stuff around my favourite

[@lynallan2937]

I am so glad you began collaging! I really enjoy your sense of fun.

[@eastofhoney]

Me too! It's so fun, I couldn't have picked a better hobby!

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

I just found you today, so this video was cool to see all your works together. I seriously can't believe you've only been at it a year! I loved the post cards and the lady in the forest with the toast. 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

[@eastofhoney]

Oh thank you so much! It's definitely been a really fun journey. Welcome to my channel :)

[@Brvfan2012]

I love the one with the house and the flowers which you didn’t have in this one. It was the first video I saw you do and was amazed. Loved it. Actually love all your work. Thanks for sharing. You make me smile!

[@playamigo]

I love the alligator with the ballerina in its mouth. Congrats on one year of collaging! I just started in the last few months and am really enjoying it!

[@papabear2515]

Fabulous portfolio! Can’t begin to pick a favorite - so many great ones! Thanks for sharing!

[@donnamerritt9756]

OMG! Your collages are so clever and unique. You have made my head dizzy with ideas. I love everything you have made. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

[@debiv7834]

These are all so fun! The Dinosaurs with flowers, crack me up they took like dogs “cone” of shames! 🤣🤣🤣

[@marilynmccormick3731]

Wow! You made all those in one year! I try to find time but weeks go inbetween as I don't have time. Thank you for sharing. I really loved the guys carrying the canoe across lanes of traffic. You have a lot of cool ideas. I think your concept of opposites work very well.

[@xTIYx]

I have absolutely zero interest in doing collages myself, but I love seeing yours!!! They are just so full of life and creativity! Very inspiring. I wish you all the best with your art :)

[@youryogawithin648]

I absolutely love your ideas! Love how you cut into pieces to insert parts of others. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

[@johnniethepoet]

This was really cool to watch!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Cool pieces. Love them all. =) One of my favourites is the one with the Dinosaurs with buttercup flowers around their necks. And the dinosaur getting a Flower necklace by the lady.... is cool. =) Oh and the Frog collage is fun. =) And the framed Earth Collage is awesome! =)

[@kitty79532]

Wonderful work . So beautufil. Very inspiring!

[@LoveOfArt87]

I don’t do just collage, i do mix media. Combine paint, decoupage, stamping and collaging etc. in art journals that some time I make. But I love what you do! It’s fun and weird. I love your energy too!

[@robindonnelly]

These are so fun! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@olgalujan848]

[@odrade99]

Very interesting collages. A year well spent. Congrats.

[@tiasmom6225]

I just came across your channel and am in awe over your collage ability. Your eye for putting elements together to create these pieces is truly amazing. I will definitely be a new subscriber so I can continue to watch your amazing talent and hopefully learn from you.

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

It’s so great that I found you today and now I know of 5 more videos of yours that I have to watch! Amazing! 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@stephaniemccord-vega1190]

I love your collage, so cool

[@nitelvr]

Loved this video and your collages. I do have a comment about framing collages. I think you should use a mat like you would do if framing art so that the collage does not touch the glass. Temperature changes could make your collage stick to the glass and make it impossible to remove without damaging it should you want to take it out or put it in a different frame.

[@sas.tronaut5055]

this next year maybe you could do a tier list or remake one of the old collages you arent as happy with?

[@ruby07241]

Love it!

[@rainbowoflight]

These are so good thank you for sharing

[@danielledebracy1180]

You are very creative In love your ideas!

[@missyb.623]

[@junkmail5675]

Moody racoons!! U are inspiring me. Just getting started

[@joseelevesque2228]

[@LadyJaneG]

I am a new subscriber and really really enjoyed your year flip thru!! I’m hoping I can encourage my grandkids to do some fun collages like this with me! Thank you for the inspiration ❤️

[@annwieland1]

Wow! That is an amazing video!!! Thank you for inspiring ideas!

[@bettelovelace4456]

👏👏👏💜Moose with Leaf Antlers, Fork Forrest ,Forrest Creature and Whale Tale are my favorites…l love how you intertwine the pieces… keep up the good work💜

[@jodihepler6202]

I love all your work. You always come up with very different collages.

[@eastofhoney]

Aww thank you so much! I'm having so much fun creating them.

[@joannelafrancejolaf]

Wow. name one favorite! There is so many beautiful one! I would say the tale of the blue whale with tree really catch my heart!

[@4355dcox]

Very creative! Thanks for sharing everything !

[@eastofhoney]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@aliciajohnston7524]

Love your work - very inspiring. You mentioned several times that you used the “wrong” kind of paper as the backing for your collage. What do you use now/recommend? And do you just use glue stick for everything? Thanks!

[@thestormysea-art]

I love your collage style!! So refreshing and cool 😃 thanks for sharing!

[@eastofhoney]

Aww thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them all :)

[@lchristoffer]

Wonderful collection! And I love that you shared your progress. You go from silly and humorous to somewhat thought provoking. My collages tend to be sort of editorial humor from what’s going on in the world and personal experience. I can see you are having as much fun with it as I am!! You are one of my favorite collage artists. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing. You have and give me great ideas. Favorite: young girl in pj’s in the mountains and guy w/tobacco sauce. 😊😊

[@eastofhoney]

Oh thank you so much for all the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed them :)

[@crystalearth29]

Excellent!!!!

[@nescofiets]

I was watching video's about trash picking and dumpster diving. So I've got no idea how this video came up in my list of video's to watch. But I am so glad it did! I giggled with you during the video (I'm intrigued to watch how your mind works) and it gave me so much inspiration. I've never made my collages in this surreal style and I love it! Esepcially the one with the dinosaurus with the blue flower necklace and the yellow collars. 😍😍

[@firstnamelastname149]

What a delight to view all these comical collages. You're quite clever! :)

[@harshasurray7027]

Splendid.

[@helenfatharly6382]

Thank you so much for sharing these, they are really great. I think one of my favourites is the girl with the flowers in the mountain scene, but hard to choose, so many great ones?

[@bernadetteelliott7511]

Love these..

[@vivianbennett2701]

I’m a third of the way through and subscribed, I love your work!!

[@grace0504]

Wow- watching this was so inspiring- then you got to the last one and I had the weirdest detach- I made a very similar earth collage a few years ago and it won an award! Love your work, I hope you are doing well!

[@magistra137]

So good! Seriously, you really have an eye for collage. It shows from the very beginning with your earliest collages. I loved getting to see all of them. Thank you for sharing! I’m sick so I don’t get to my art table very much but you have really helped to increase my enthusiasm and stifle that awful self-critics voice. You make it so fun and feel so accessible! Thanks again!

[@eastofhoney]

Oh wow thank you so much for all the kind words! Collage is such a great creative outlet and I want to share how fun it can be through my videos. I'm so glad to hear they have brought you some joy and inspiration

[@karenillingworth4937]

Shark Galaxy is my favourite.

[@MariaLopez-fd4pj]

Son todos bellísimos ❤

[@mcblakemore3423]

The earth collage was awesome, but I also liked the Halloween postcards that you made. So great to be able to look back on your artistic accomplishments.

[@eastofhoney]

Thank you so much! I love having this massive stack of cool things I've made and being able to see how my style has evolved.
