Today I talk about how to find images for an engaging collage layout and where these images go. I am using my latest altered book for this collage layout. It is an altered book made in a child's board book.
In collage, "how do I know where my images go?" is the most common question I hear. What images work together and how and why? Stay tuned as I break down my process in the altered book layout using original, vintage paper ephemera.
PRINTABLE SCANS: Many of the images in today's video including the moths, holy cards, and vintage birds are available as printable scans on Etsy. You can find them here:
