Hi there! I'm Rosie and in this week's video we're doing a one source magazine challenge! I will try to make a surreal collage using only the July 2021 issues of national geographic magazine. Hopefully I can make it work!

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 think the picnic scientist needs a wild hat. Great job! Oh, I take a little tool and get out every bit of glue from glue sticks! It's surprising how much glue you can get out of there.

[@paulasimmons9938]

I love how quickly your mind works... Brilliant!! The Elmer's School Glue is made for children. Within at least a week your papers will come loose. I learned that lesson.

[@londekandukuda3422]

that was awesome! for whatever reason, cutting new magazines causes me physical pain but I have no qualms if they are from the 80s, 90s or early 2000s. So I end up having to scavenger hunt thrift stores for old grimy mags

[@eastofhoney]

I get that! The first cut in something new is always tough. I love finding books that have like the covering falling off already. That makes things easier haha

[@missyb.623]

These were so fun. I think the shark one looks like a post card. How fun to send it to someone if you are at the beach.

[@lovelydaywithholly]

You asked for collage ideas in a previous video: what about an interactive collage (like a moving piece, or a door that opens etc…)

[@LeighPogue]

Love them both but the shark in the neighborhood is great.

[@eastofhoney]

Yes! That one worked so well.

[@trishmillard9857]

I don't have magazines so will use book.BELIEVE IT OR NOT. I found them at a yard sale yesterday and can't wait to tear into them.

[@WilmaVoermans]

LOVE the shark collage! The picnic woman needs something done with her straight head? A hat ?

[@cyndybeller1306]

Definitely fun. I had this issue once and did not look at it as you did. Thanks for helping me train my eyes

[@pattyatrumdycreations134]

"I accidentally depacapitated the lady." Not something you want on your resume. 🤣😂

[@jackiecopeland1835]

You have such an amazing imagination, thank you for sharing.

[@eastofhoney]

Oh thank you so much!

[@annecanright4890]

There's always a bit of glue that you can dig out from the end of the stick. A palette knife, end of a paint brush even your finger... Just love your collages- I was looking at pics as you were flipping and I realize what a genius you are!

[@kmwwrench]

Very cool. The picnic one has sort of a 50's vibe, probably from the layout of the picnic.

[@annwieland1]

So crazy - I love it!!!

[@janefrazier9228]

These are fabulous!

[@tonyahouck3422]

I’m so glad I found you!!!

[@emmawheeler4624]

I love your collages, but these two are pure genius!! The shark in the road is just mind blowing! I love the picnic construction, the only thing I would add, if you can find one, in my humble opinion, if you could find the lady a hard hat, I think it would add to the construction effect and sort out the flat head she has. At least she’s not decapitated any more 😂😂 so funny!

[@denisewhitaker5116]

It's so much fun and relaxing to watch you come up with ideas! These are great, Rosie!

[@eastofhoney]

Yay! That makes me so happy to hear. I'm glad you're enjoying :)

[@megsgonnamake]

LOVE!!!

[@bettylongshore9594]

Super ideas!!!!! Love how you worked both of these out! I especially of the lady working on the picnic!!!! The man would have been great, too bad it didn't fit!!!!

[@eastofhoney]

Thank you so much!!

[@papabear2515]

Wonderful!

[@carriehanifen3434]

I love them, another great video, keep them coming. Love ya 💗😀👍

[@csk5654]

Awesome collages Rosie! TYFS Cindy

[@eastofhoney]

Thank you!!

[@vetechgrl2000]

Such a great video! You have given me such good ideas. Thx

[@Wvnursey]

The shark is hilarious!

[@eastofhoney]

I totally agree!

[@bettelovelace4456]

Fun video… love how it looks like woman is picking up hot dog…💜

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

I love both collages. =)

[@CactusJinx]

Oooh i cant wait to see your reaction to this issue🤩

[@eastofhoney]

It was a good one!

[@S.l.o.w.cooker350]

Cool !!! !! ! ...

[@renee7954]

You can also use photo squares to stick it on😬

[@eastofhoney]

Oh yes! I've used these. I wasn't at home so I had to find something in a non-crafters home!

[@suzyallen1726]

I love them both. You are so creative. How do you come up with these ideas. I saw dogs in magazine and thought of them at picnic and small people looking in

[@eastofhoney]

Oh thank you! I try to just think of the most absurd thing I can think of hahah

[@angelelias6860]

😍😍😍

[@suzyallen1726]

Cont. But a construction site is brilliant

[@sandradowkes481]

I was thinking some fruit or veggies on the woman's head would have been cool.

[@MGLivia]

👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
