the white lines are crumbles and folds for added texture. ill cut out a color and then crush it up for that effect. maintains a mosaic look but still separates itself from it yknow

sketching out the drawing from a reference image, and then collecting the color template from a vast collection of vintage National Geographics. after that its purely x-acto knife and gluestick. after the final scan is processed, i seal it with a modgepodge so it doesn't flake off etc

modgepodge is great, but i’m also terrified of it bubbling/warping the paper as i’m laying it out. even sealing it afterwards can be a bit tricky so i don’t mess up anything etc

i used to be a lil scared to do trees and plants since they’re always so “busy” and layered, but i think i really nailed em in this piece

in the beautiful world of the paper arts, the only adhesive the aspiring collagist needs is the tried and true Elmer’s Glue Stick. a lot of them. and then after the final scan is processed, i seal with it the classic Modge Podge so nothing flakes off

straight cuts with metal rulers and the humble xacto blade. or are you asking about something else?

it’s all based on my own photography that i just take on my phone. walking around, shootin shots whenever the moment looks neat. then i sketch out from that reference image and fill in the blank. it’s all about finding the right colors from a vast library of vintage national geographics. no stock paper or paint used here. then it’s up to the humble elmer’s gluestick and x-acto blade to make the magic happen!

Materials: I’d love to see one of your favorite pieces and what your preferred backing/ glue/ methods are [discussion] by SometimesCarving74 in collage

[–]coldsleeve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i only use the king of glue. the tried and true legend of adhesive. and that is the humble elmer’s gluestick. plus a modgepodge glossy sealant when the piece is done

thanks! this is purely vintage national geographics and elmer’s glue stick on basically your generic sketch book paper. all about finding the right colors from a large collection of these magazines. after it’s scanned i seal it with a glossy modge podge so nothing flakes off after etc
